The Scarlet One To be honest, anything can be considered monsters because of our strong perception of fear. I don’t see what the problem is portraying animals as monsters for the sake of entertainment. At the same time, are we just going to treat animals like dolphins as kind-hearted and purely benevolent when they are perhaps one of the most cleverly sadistic animals known currently? That is more psychopathic and monstrous than animalistic. I’m not kidding, there’s reports of Dolphins killing innocent people, and they do it coordinately. When you think about it, when do we really draw the line between animal and monster?

For it's time you have to give it credit for being incredibly up to date and even getting some things spot on. The use of scientifically informed speculation is something I'll always applaud because it helps to bring these animals to life and can help advance the field. If you then get it wrong that's just how it is in science but better to take a risk and fail than to not. Also of course back then we used to know way less about the behavior of these animals so you had to speculate to fill in the gaps.

It's great that someone on KZfaq is finally doing this layout of an analysis, rather than just giving a blanket "not as accurate as it should be." I can't wait for the next few episodes! One thing that should have been brought up was Coelophysis' sleep schedule. The program only ever shows them in daytime, when the relative size of their scleral rings suggests they would have been more nocturnal. EDIT: I was completely wrong on that end. Coelophysis apparently had terrible night vision. Thanks to Cherry Jester for the correction.
@Cherrywick76 2 жыл бұрын
Actually, the analysis said that Coelophysis was a diurnal (daytime) animal, since they actually have poor night vision. They do have exceptional daytime vision though, having a similar eyesight as a hawk. WWD was right in that respect.

New Blood takes place well before the End-Triassic Mass Extinction, and the downfall of the rauisuchians was absolutely nothing like what is depicted here (they were actually better-adapted for hot, arid climates than dinosaurs were, and said climates were something that happened during the height of the Late Triassic, not at the end of it).

@@ThemagpieBird734 The important part is that they were better-suited for surviving harsh droughts than dinosaurs (meaning that the ENTIRE PLOT of New Blood should be the other way around). That’s why there were only smaller dinosaurs outside of high-latitude regions during the Triassic (when you take continental drift into account). The thing dinosaurs were better at was surviving very cold conditions, but this only became an advantage during the end-Triassic Mass Extinction when a worldwide volcanic winter set in; it didn’t give them an inherent advantage without said mass extinction.

It's been a while since I watched this, I still have it on DVD, the episodes and the behind the scenes I've seen many times, I enjoyed watching the behind the scenes as I got to see how they brought these amazing creatures to life.

I've also loved this series since it came out, but I was 30 at the time...I bought the DVD set & still watch it regularly...the DVDs still play perfectly after all this time too! This is still the best CG dinosaurs outside of a major motion picture, inaccuracies or not. I noticed a lot of the behavior problems too, but still very much enjoy the series...There was one episode that was made after the main 6 called Allosaurus. That was actually the first one I bought & watched...you should cover all the episodes...

I randomly clicked on the video because I love your channel and I just realized this documentary was such a big part of my childhood. I am a 2002 kid and I remember my dad downloading the documentary’s episodes on our super old mac computer. I would watch it over and over and over again and I would love it so much. I believe it’s a big part pf my love for biology and I’m so grateful for it to exist. I’ll show it to my kids definitely.

My wife and I went to the Petrified Forest in Arizona a couple months ago and definitely watched this episode of Walking With Dinosaurs a couple times in preparation :) The Placerias being nearly extinct is consistent with the lone Placerias site you mention. Also, a single pterosaur jaw has been found at Petrified Forest, which was reconstructed as a Peteinosaurus-like animal: www.nps.gov/pefo/learn/ornithodiran.htm I'm sure you already knew that, but I'm just throwing it in anyways. Thanks for the video and I look forward to watching the rest!

I used to watch documentaries like this for nap time but I would hardly ever actually sleep because I was just so in love with dinosaurs. As a 6 year old kid, my parents had dozens of dinosaur documentaries recorded, along with The Land Before Time. I really wish I had followed my dreams and became a paleontologist instead of a nurse 😅

Absolute YES!!! Please, please do the other episodes too. The "Walking with..." series is obviously outdated, but that still doesn't keep us from enjoying them. They have this charm about them that's really what's kept us coming back to them, if at least for the nostalgia.

I love this show, still is one of the best prehistoric documentaries made and kick-started a boom in documentary's about dinosaurs and other prehistoric creature's, and I love how they should the animals as animals while also giving them a bit of character and showing pretty much everything that was known at the time. And of course everything else about it is amazing. Also I really like the someone drew comparisons of the original designs with more accurate one's, helped show how much more we know about these amazing animals.

For me the greatest thing about WWD was how it enabled me to feel exactly what it would be like to stand among those creatures. The movie "Titanic" similarly was like experiencing the sinking in person. We do not know what the archaic animals of ancient times looked like, & there could have been much variation, so no quibble with the presentations in WWD.

Ben, I love that you made this video. The walking with collection was a big influence in my childhood and to this day in my opinion is the best Prehistory documentary ever made, despite some scientific facts being outdated. The animation was revolutionary at the time, and every detail so well done I can’t say how many times I’ve rewatched the show. I hope that you continue to make videos like this one because it allows for me to rewatch the series with an excitement I have not had for the series in a long time. I look forward to seeing what you make next. Once again thank you for the great video!

I was reading through the book adaptation of this series a few weeks ago (as i hadn’t read it since i was about 6) and the points you made about the sexual dimorphism and (i think) cannibalism in coelophysis where mentioned there, so i assume they knew about them but didn’t want to include them maybe? Or just didn’t realise at the time...

The first one was probably done to save on cgi models. The second was probably a conscious decision, to show the animals as part of an aggressive environment and portray the mechanisms of survival.
