Prehistoric Emergence Is Bad Part 2

Part 1 Later they add in Wooly Mammoths with no explanation on how large herd mammals that once migrated across an entire continent have survived underground this entire time.

They also introduce Livyatan and treat it like some kind of 1v1 versus match between it and Megalodon which you see from slop channels. All while treating the Livyatan's emergence as a good thing to help humans defeat Megalodon, even though Livyatans were known to eat large marine animals such as whales as well.

Quetzalcoatlus at least has it's pycnofibers in some of the images and videos, it still has inaccuracies like it's wings not being rounded. They also treat them like they would actually hunt humans, when just taking into account what other people have discussed about if pterosaurs would hunt or eat humans it is unlikely. They could have opted for one that could have like Cryodrakon, but how well known is that name as opposed to the one that showed up in Jurassic World.

Of course not beating the popular creatures claim Tyrannosaurus Rexs were introduced and ate several humans. Even though T-Rex probably would not have hunted let alone eaten humans, wasting energy to hunt them. But rather they would probably have gone after large game and farm animals given they did hunt Edmontosaurus Annectens. Speaking of which why weren't they introduced? As one of their main food sources shouldn't Edmontosaurus also be showing up? Especially since T-Rex has been underground for millions of years according to this series, so what did they eat? Again not even the bare minimum. Also, if they wanted a dinosaur to hunt humans why not any of the abelisaurs like Carnotaurus? Or even Deinonychus, you know theropods that would have made sense to have tried to hunt humans. Lemme guess name recognition for the most popular dinosaur???

The T-rexs that are used in said video are of either images from online that are inaccurate, or mostly accurate in videos because the footage was taken from Prehistoric Planet. Also, these creatures would have been evolving underground for millions of years, so should they look very different from their ancestors? Of course something that they didn't think of not implement.

The whole time they just keep using videos and images other people made in their video, instead of making it themself. Even using pictures of either Komodo Dragons or some random Monitor Lizard for Megalania showing the lack of effort.

All that being said the script reads like they didn't even try to do the bare minimum to create Prehistoric Emergence and just used the popular prehistoric animals with all the inaccuracies. Or who knows maybe they got an "ai" to right the script which would explain the laziness. On top of basic analog horror tropes of a news broadcast, glitches, static, audio cutting out over something spooky, and spooky silhouette images doing spooky things instead of original footage.

If I were to give any advice to the creator it would to drop the "ai" nonsense, stop using the work of other people, and make your own models or practical effects to create footage and images. Drop the basic analog horror tropes that people are tired of seeing and use what works. Not what seems scary. Do the bare minimum of research when creating not just the prehistoric animal designs, but actually research how they would act and what they ate. While taking into account how they would have lasted this long and how they would look. While not a perfect book, take a look at If Dinosaurs Were Alive Today. Said books has moments where Baroynx is eating fish like Grizzlies do, Tyrannosaurus hunting herd animals, and Mosasaurus getting caught in a fishing net as it was hunting Ammonites. Stuff they would make sense. If not that, take a page out of Weird Birds' as does this concept well and even has it where the reason the animals look like their ancient counterparts is because of time travel. Let alone the fact they put in the effort to make accurate feathered dinosaurs. Heck with all that maybe even try to redo the series, update it to be better.

GREAT NEWS: loss of all progress gives us a great excuse to choose a new mascot, as dakotaraptor is likely invalid!

we'd been holding onto it anyway, since it was the first model we'd made and we were very attached to it, but now that it's all gone we can choose a New Boy!

Edmontosaurus annectens is a large hadrosaur that lives up in the mountains of Colorado, and they travel in herds of around 10-20 individuals. Bears occasionally prey on the younger members of the herd, but Nanuqsaurus is the only creature that preys on the adults. Very little is known about these beasts due to their reclusive nature, which makes them extremely appealing to scientists looking to do new research. Although small, their feet are adapted to the rocky terrain(similar to mountain goats) and they are surprisingly nimble. The colors are based off of Musk Ox, Elk, and Moose.

Caenagnathids are a family of distinct oviraptorosaurs with longer, lighter, toothless jaws and more slender, gracile anatomy than Ovoraptorids. Until the discovery of Anzu wyliei, remains of Caenagnathids were scarce and fragmentary, especially in North America. But then, in 2014, this giant North American Oviraptorosaur was described. Originally nicknamed the “chicken from hell”, Anzu was instead named after a fire-and-water-breathing bird monster from ancient Sumerian mythology. And, resembling a 3.5–3.75 meter (11.5–12.3 ft) long and 200–300 kilogram (440–660 lb) parrot with a high crescent-shaped crest on its head, Anzu certainly earned its name.

The oviraptorids were smaller and stockier than this tall giant, however, Anzu’s beak was not as heavily constructed as theirs. Like most ovoraptorosaurs, it was likely a herbivore or omnivore, using its beak to crack open hard shells and nuts. And, unlike its desert-dwelling cousins, it lived in lush forests and floodplains, likely with a different set of adaptations for this environment. Anzu’s large crest, the largest of all oviraptorosaurs, was actually quite thin and light, likely used for social signaling and to attrract mates.

Living in the North and South Dakota of the famous Late Cretaceous Hell Creek Formation, Anzu would have lived alongside many of the most familiar North American dinosaurs, including both species of Triceratops, Edmontosaurus annectens, and Tyrannosaurus rex. Aside from the Big Three, Anzu also lived alongside ankylosaurs like Denversaurus, pachycephalosaurs like Pachycephalosaurus, rarer ceratopsians like Torosaurus, and ornithopods like Thescelosaurus. Fellow theropods included Ornithomimus, Acheroraptor, Dakotaraptor, birds like Brodavis and Potamornis, and the slightly smaller caenagnathid Eoneophron. Azhdarchid fossils have been found here as well, possibly belonging to Quetzalcoatlus or a relative. Pseudosuchians lived here too, including Borealosuchus and Brachychampsa, as well as a large variety of turtles and mammals, at least one indeterminate mosasaur, and the choristodere Champsosaurus.

Sketch portrait of Edmontosaurus annectens

[mesozoicmarket]

A dinosaur tooth of an Edmontosaurus annectens from the Laramie Formation in Weld County, Colorado, United States. This species of hadrosaur or "duck-billed" dinosaur is commonly found in the Maastrichtian deposits of North America. Fossils from the Laramie Formation are not often seen compared to material from the Hell Creek or Lance Formations.

Its an Edmontosaurus annectens wearing boots, what else could you ask for?

[inquisitoradaar]

sorry for not including any sauropods. as if its my fault

jokes. i had to choose between 12 of my faves and unfortunately no sauropods made the cut. (Eoraptor lunensis was close tho, it was either that or O. philoceratops and i only barely like the latter more)

also excluded was Archaeopteryx lithographica bc i had a feeling it would sweep simply by virtue of being the most famous dinosaur on the list by far
