New Netflix Dinosaur documentary coming out next month

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y4ZBSzYUTL0

Will we get some kinosaurs? Or more sloppasaurus Rex?
>>
Which dinosaur will be gay? Which dinosaur will be black? Which dinosaur will be gay and black?
>>
>>5099103
We all know the T-rex will be fully feathered
>>
>>5099103
Netflicks is gay and we don't advertise here, chud.
>>
>>5099114
what if it was furred
>>
>>5099127
a furred lizard?
maybe if it turns out to be trans-mammal
>>
>>5099103
I'm too lazy to watch the trailer does it have any jarring gay shit like feathered rex?
>>
>>5099114
dumbass

>>5099131
no, it's scaled

if even fucking Netflix shows scaly T-Rex, you know featherfags have lost
>>
>>5099131
some chuds may find this to be jarring
>>
>>5099135
did they even use those stupid little arms for anything?

I think I'll wait for the reviews.

>>5099135
It's fucking over for featherfags.
We meme a lot about the topic here but i am genuinely happy the unscientific trend of "scientific accuracy is when you make shit up for no reason" is dying.
For example the other day i was looking for Carnotaurus images as reference for a sculpture and found this claiming to be accurate even to nothing about its fossil suggests its horns were that big (if anything it proves the opposite because the horns are very tiny and not pointy in actual skull)
>>
>>5099103
Buy an ad, antiwhite netflix.
>>
>>5099145
Claws and horns aren't exposed bone in living animals so they wouldn't be in extinct animals.
Making the horns larger than the fossils is only logical, but making them that much larger is not.

Yeah, something like this is way more reasonable. Always remember, the more conservative a reconstruction of a prehistoric animal is, the better.

An exhibition I went to had this model where you can compare the skeleton vs IRL. I like their interpretation; if they use the horns to tussle with one another it would probably make sense for it to be blunt.

Pretty sure this is the first time a rhynchosaur has appeared on-screen in any capacity since 1992

>>5099172
We have literally no idea how big carnotaurus’ horns were. They probably weren’t curved cow horns but that doesn’t mean they couldn’t have been significantly longer than the born cores
>>5099147
If anything we underestimate the size of claws, horns, etc. Sometimes to a significant extent like the saurornitholestes specimen that preserves the keratin sheath of the claws which are like double the length of the bone
>>
>>5099103
Dinosaur autist keep winning. Every major film production company bows to us.

Looks like a snapping turtle.

How were the dino docs that apple put out? Are they worth a watch?
>>
>>5099188
I'll repeat it: The most conservative a reconstruction the better. Yeah we don't know how long they were but making them as close to the bone as possible is your best bet
>>
>>5099188
>>5099248
Not to mention, if you make a drawing saying it's accurate and give it long-ass horns you are implying giving it small horns is inaccurate which is very obviously not the case. Draw it with long horns if you want but claiming that is the "accurate" version of the animal is fucking retarded
>>
>>5099243
It's good, but I dislike the chosen structure of the series compared to the chronological approach chosen by WWD or the hyperfocused structure of something like Dinosaur Planet. The series is mainly focused on the cretaceous peroid and does a lot of country hopping within an episode. The series offers a high density of information for people who are a little bit out of the loop in regards to the latest theories in paleontology but I feel like if I knew nothing about dinosaurs or the mesozoic I wouldn't be any wiser about what the world was like back then than after watching the show. The dinosaur reconstructions are excellent and the quality of film making is great even if the soundtrack is a little bit lackluster. The series is also quite bold when it comes to the portrayal of speculative behavior but that's more of a personal pet peeve than a real criticism.

What the other anon said except i want to add that the balloon neck sauropods are fucking retarded

The wut

They put inflatable sacks on Dreadnaughtus because accuracy is when you make shit up. Thankfully that is the only time i can think of where they did that.

Ceratosaurus please...

>>5099183
Didn't know they appeared in The Dinosaurs! (1992)
Here's the full scene.

I'm happy to get some new Triassic representation in paleo media.
>>
>>5099135
>>5099145

Other dinosaurs and pterosaurs are shown to have feathers. Feathers are ancestral to Avemetatarsalia, deal with it
>>
>>5099248
>but making them as close to the bone as possible is your best bet
I can’t remember where it’s from but there was something I read recently about how there’s a general trend that the keratin covering gets proportionally larger as the size of the bone increases. So something like triceratops horns where the bone portion is enormous would have a significantly greater amount of keratin relative to size than something with much smaller horns like carnotaurus

muh t. rex babies covered in feathers part 2

Seems reasonable to me

take the L and move on trannysaurus

That's one way to describe Troodon LAYING FIRE.
>>
>>5099513
Is that the one all the speculation evolution people like to make sentient?
>>
>>5099513
>>5099521
In fairness, Troodon's always been a spec evo guinea pig. Look at Dale Russell's dinosauroid from1982.
>>5099485
I don't see a reason to believe it wasn't either. Not unusual for animal babies to have different coating then adults.

Show me one that is born with feathers and later replaces them with scales
>>
>>5099455
This and the peach fuzz cope are so sad to see these days. Just let it go bro T. rex was not feathered there's nothing wrong with that
>>
>>5099137
We don't know. But unlike with abelisaurs, they don't seem to be vestigial so they had to be using them for something
>>
>>5099606
It takes a while for the phenotype to catch up with lack of use. It's entirely possible (IMO likely) that 'rex had already stopped using its arms for anything meaningful, natural selection just hadn't finished getting rid of the arms just yet.
