There isn’t as much dinosaur horror media out there as people would like, but of the ones that are out there, they have some pretty weird and interesting depictions of dinosaurs. In this specific young adult story, we follow a pair of teenagers venturing inside a cave in search of a dinosaur-like legend, a large and bloodthirsty raptor with weird features.

I actually did buy this book thanks to you. I can't wait for it to arrive.
Thanks for the great video, Diego!
I read this in high school, it's quite good. Though one thing that always jumps on me in these old books and/or tv shows movies whatever, is why the hell do people think it's a good idea to take an egg from any nest? Especially a big one. Like, especially when the characters are scientists or something, like…. you should know that any animal, even a dinosaur is gonna be protective of it's young. You don't pick up a bear cub if you find one. So why would you pick up a giant dinosaur egg.
Omg I’m so glad someone else remembers this book! I read this when I was younger and thought it was pretty cool.
I actually have this. I’ve only read it once and I don’t remember anything that happens in it lol
Ah, this one. I LOVED this book. Read it in german.
Great storytelling for that intro segment.
Oh yeah, I think i read the start of the loch novel, I didn’t known it was part of a whole series though!
As always thanks for bringing more dino novels into lighr.
Also I found hilarious how you joke with the idea of the dog…..nah just kiding!
But its really curious how this raptors have some wierd charscteristics.
Thank you for being you Diego
i remember this! i think this was actually my introduction to utahraptor as a species–i may have heard of it a few times before this, but this was where i first saw it (so to speak) actually featured
I cried when Picasso died.
You gotta stop fucking with me about the dog man lmao
Nothing better than waking up and seeing a new Dino Diego video
personally, i mentally pronounced it like "bone-EYED" 😉
I know one game that basically scared me to not even progress in the game. The game was turok, and it wasn't the original turok game
why aren't we talking about what a beast Picasso is for surviving this.
If the raptors really were『Scary Monsters』then all those jokes about the dog dying wouldn't have been jokes any more
I remember seeing this in my school's library back in elementary and I thought it looked cool, never read it since I did not like reading for some reason.
At 1:15 is the picture of the Dimetrodon saying "f**king idiot" because Diego is saying "definitely a dinosaur" when it is not a dinosaur but a pelycosaur?"
Why do people keep saying "anyways" these days instead of "anyway?" "Way" within that word should be singular, not plural. Because it is "any" way. If you pluralize "way" then it should be either "all ways" or "some ways." It's almost as grating as saying "whereat" instead of simply "where." "Where" does not need to be married to "at." Must be the "at" lobby at work.
I read this in middle school along with "Loch".
I remember this!
The weird traits of the Uraps can easily be explained as millions of years of evolving and adaptation. How else would a family pack of raptors be able to exist undiscovered unless there was some kind of make you forget venom.
is almost mauled by a Utahraptor
send his son after it
Wtf, dude
Oh this brings back memories. I read Paul Zindel's books in elementary and middle school myself as well. I still remember how graphically violent and gorey they were. The first one was Loch which I read in 5th grade. Then followed the Doom Stone. Reef of Death, Raptor, and Night of the Bat. Sadly Zindel passed away in 2003 from lung cancer at age 66. One thing I distinctly remember about this book is that during the Mother's home invasion, she catches Zack and essentially French kisses him. It was weird.
Something I like about this is the speculative abilities of the raptors. I love the idea of the dinosaurs possessing traits and abilities we simply could not know about through fossils. It's something I'm annoyed Jurassic Park didnt continue to do so outside the novels and side media without genetic meddling.
Dr Bone-ID, Jesus lmao
Can I just say I stopped breathing everytime you said something happened to Picasso? Sir you played me like a fiddle today
i read it in Junior high way back in the 90's, that and The Relic, which was a book long before it was a movie
Maybe you will also make "Loch Ness"-book review? From the same author, because it technically also a dinosaur (okay-okay, "Mesozoic animal") book.
I remember really liking Paul Zindels other works, especially his pigman series (trust me, it's not a monster). He also wrote a loch Ness monster story called (You guessed it) Loch! Which is about a family of man-eating plesiosaurs in lake Champlain. You should definitely check it out!
Send you underage son to go look for ancient predator lair after set predator attacking you? Father of the year, everybody. If this was my son I would tell him do not go anywhere near this cave. Granted it probably make him be even more intriued, but still. Or maybe just don't say anything at all, but not send him to direct danger.
Stop teasing me with dog death! God
Mr. Bones: I wanna be rich and famous!
So you chose… Paleontology?
I only really remember the house attack, and one vivid description of a raptor crushing an otter's skull "like a grape."
I ate lots of grapes as a kid, and the image of am animals skull popping like one freaked me out.
It seems like a decent read. I'm especially fond of the troglodyte dinosaur concept ; it has an interesting, yet untapped potential for a story about prehistoric animals
That's one hella innacurate Velociraptor Mongolensis…
Larry ghost coyote is the best name I have ever heard holy fuck is a chad name
I’m pretty sure the reason Bones called Utahraptor bigger than T-Rex is because he was drunk off his ass.
I just bought this book!
Honestly these Utahraptors in the story are awesome!!
7:19 reminds me of my dog.
Woah woah woah, hold on, you went to 6th grade at an ELEMENTARY school?! That's the REAL horror story.
You should talk about some dinosaur anime. One that i recently stumbled across is called dinosaur adventure. The story is that some kids are teleported on a dino topia like planet and try to come back home
Interesting, there is a board game also called Raptor where a large mother raptor protects her babies from humans, but the similarities end there.
Honker, cute name 🙂
I LOVED The Doom Stone in middle school!
