Talia just finished her doctorate, and will be focusing on academia for the next little while, so you might not see her on Animalogic for a bit! Thank you so much Talia, and hope to see you back soon!
Congratulations, Talia.🎉 You certainly earned that doctorate. And if you ask me, the real velociraptor is much more interesting than the Hollywood version. Maybe you could do a video on Dienonychus some day, the real raptors of Jurassic Park.
I was worried Deinonychus wouldn’t get mentioned. Likewise Michael Creighton as well. I feel a bit reassured.
I want that shirt
I have known about this inaccuracy since I discovered the JP franchise wiki’s explanation of it. The films’ depiction is based on a Deinonychus’ skeleton. When interviewed about his book, Michael Crichton even admitted it back in 1989.
That's a sassy Velociraptor drawing, Danielle
The sickle claws weren’t used to catch its prey, rather to climb. Also, Tyrannosaurus was 8-10 tons not 6 tons.
Congratulations Taila!! Also, thanks for providing so much info on prehistoric animals both old and new!!
A small, fluffy, fast creature that likes to stab small things with its feet claws? Yeah I have one of those, my cat
i thought they aren't even real
Great video, just a minor correction: birds DIDN'T "evolve from therapods", birds ARE therapods. This is important because it's the exact same thing of saying "humans evolved from primates" so I would be careful with the choice of words there
Can you talk about Deinosuchus or Barinasuchus?
To be honest, everything related to Dromaeosaurids which is nearly all of the birds in the world is terrifying. Raptors, goose you name it.
I hope you can do more prehistoric related videos, like the evolution of camels and horses, the newly-discovered head-butting giraffe, and the evolution of whales and their relation to artiodactyls, like deer, pigs and hippos.
I know this anyway
Consider a moment. They wouldn't hunt us as we are now. But the ancestors of us that lived when it did were definitely on the menu.
Now I hope they do clone dinosaurs and some raptors escape. I think you will regret saying they didn't hunt human sized game. I guarantee if turkeys were as well armed as raptors and a little bit smarter humans would be on the menu
We know JP velociraptors are inaccurate that's OK. I've psyched myself to believe the scientist accidentally bred utahraptors instead.😂 Congratulations Talia on getting your PhD.🎊
A small correction: In Michael Crichton’s book, the velociraptors were the scientifically accurate size. Spielberg is the one that decided to make them deinonychus size but keep the ”scarier” sounding name of velociraptor.
Personally I think deinonychus is a vicious, badass sounding name in its own right, but I understand.
Deinonychus was what they were aiming for size wise.
2:53 that's hella creepy.
Thank you! Velociraptor is my favourite dinosaur
“I’m here to ruin your childhood” is the best opening ever.
im so sad sometimes that we will never get to truly see these beasts, i feel the same abt the cambrian stuff, i want to see them irl
