terror bird

[11dwalls]

Chocobos, that is all

[amm019]

Looking at this scene and looking up on real info of these birds, I can definitely say that these birds are the Jurassic Park Velociraptor's replacements.

[gogogomez51]

I believe that Terror bird's did go extinct in the late Pleistocene and not the early Pleistocene like most people think

[xKamehameha]

i want a pet terror bird.

oi science, bring them back so i can have one!

[StuartG001]

THESE WEREN'T CONTEMPORANEOUS WITH HOMO SAPIENS!¡!!1!1! -insert paeleontological rage here- raaaaaaarrrrrrgggh :(

[7CellarDoors]

@StuartG001 They also didn't hunt in packs... As far as I am aware.

[Hydorior]

@StuartG001 - Any paleontologist who rages about "historic inaccuracies" in a FANTASY FILM needs to be stripped of his academic titles ;) I mean, this movie even contains freaking magic - how can anyone find that perfectly accurate and at the same time have a problem with the science behind the animals and pyramids? I can already imagine their reviews for "The Mummy"...

[StuartG001]

@Hydorior err...I was joking, chill out....?

[Hydorior]

@StuartG001 - So was I ;) Well, at least partially. "Historically inaccurate!" is by far the most frequent criticism for this film, and that kind of annoys me. If you take the artistic freedom in a fantasy movie with humor, I appreciate that. But many are unable to do so.

[SatanTheGreat666]

lol you cant even see anything because its so dark, i can just tell that this movie blows

[mason8398]

what kind color was a terror bird?

[Noeladishi]

As if you would be able to run away from one those things

[jezzr101]

Even when i saw the trailer i knew this movie sucked

[1alejo2]

Last time I checked, swords were not yet invented during the age of caveman.

[RaptorQueen]

@1alejo2 well, they're not really cavemen just nomadic paleo indians, and different things took place in different areas. This may have bee the time more advance civilizations have risen, but yes i think i agree that the birds are in the wrong time range.

[Bombsgalor]

STUPID GIANT CHICKENS!

[capie44]

How can anyone watch this movie with such 1.2 second scene changes during the action, and shaking the camera to death with the rest of the scenes?????

[chippendaleduo]

It's nice to know that our ancestors had nice white, shiny teeth. Way to go, Hollywood.

[lucius1976]

@chippendaleduo

You would not seriously consider that movie historical accurate in any way. It is as accurate as Lord of the Rings is. 

[chippendaleduo]

@lucius1976 Of course not, ahaha

[chippendaleduo]

@Tazy50 Now you're being a bit too technical about this, haha. White or not, they're also all straight and seem to be free of plaque. In the insistence of having rugged, yet attractive actors and actresses, this happens in movies all the time.

[Gobbygiblet]

@KnowImillian lol

[ceitiosaurus]

@KnowImillian Don't push it!

[Gobbygiblet]

boy im glad these things arn't around today

[MilanMolenaar]

01:55 - After he throws the rock the bird is like "Hey, FUCK YOU!!!"

[JPOGFreak]

this isn't a Titanis, This is freakin Kelenken.

[ssbmfan22]

fail 1:54

[SardaukarPrime]

I doubt humans could've thrived with these feathered fuckers around. The Andalgalornis species could probably tear a man in half with its beak. Screw dinosaurs. These things and the saber-toothed smilodon were far worse apex predators.

[Nerpha]

@SardaukarPrime There was one around pretty close to man ,it died out just before us I think. It lived in what is now argentina and not only could it fly but it glided so you would not even have been able to hear the wingbeats

[JPOGFreak]

@SardaukarPrime

actaully, Birds are dinosaurs, so the terror bird is an advanced Dinsoaur.

[TsarSamuil]

@JPOGFreak, then we mammals are advanced reptiles? No, once u move into a new category, that's what u are from then on or until u become something else.

[JPOGFreak]

@TsarSamuil we aren't reptiles, we are mammals. True. Although we share barely anything in common, nect time take a closer look at birds and dinosaurs, you'll see they are WAY to much in common, Erect limbs, Hollow bones, Virtually the same respitory systems, same anatomical features, fenestreas, and foot design. They are dinosaurs, face it man.

[JPOGFreak]

@JPOGFreak and last but not least, mkost dinosaurs had FEATHERS! no other animal has feathers, other than dinosaurs(including Birds)

[JPOGFreak]

@SardaukarPrime Also, I doubt the Smilodon could survive from an attack from a large predatory dinosaur.

[NonEternal]

oh man, did this movie suck...

[thejoakim1337]

@NonEternal no, it did not

[BLAZIKEN90000000]

Entelodont EAT THIS STUPID CHICKEN S

[nusarikaya]

What the hell...did anyone else hear a horse or is that just me?

[thelonelion]

1:07. did that thing have hands?

[egdeltur666]

yes. Titanis has hands.

[JPOGFreak]

@egdeltur666

Though not proven if they were hunting tools, most likely not though.

[egdeltur666]

@JPOGFreak They were used in hunting about as much as a T. rex used them...

which is never. They may have worked like forks or something.

[JPOGFreak]

@egdeltur666

True, though Rex's arms were able to pick up to 500 pounds.

not saying rex used it's arms for hunting.

[SnappyPenguin566]

@egdeltur666 I Thought It Was A Terror Bird

[1RadicalOne]

That's a Diatryma. Those were long extinct by the time humans evolved...

[RickRaptor105]

No, "Terror Birds" is the common name for a group of birds called Phorusrhacidae (Diatryma belongs to a different group). But even the last Phorusrhacids lived 2 million and not 10000 years before christus, so they never met humans either...

[1RadicalOne]

Either way, this "Emmerich" lives up to the Wikipedia statement that his films are "notorious for historical and scientific inaccuracy".

[FluffyFeralMarmot]

@1RadicalOne yeah, i love how hollywood creatures always roar before attacking. predators in the wild are --silent--. usually the prey doesn't even see it coming til it's too late

[1RadicalOne]

Yes. As a carnivore myself (though I admit to only having hunted once, not particularly successfully), I know stealth is far superior to brute force, though that does also play a part.

[egdeltur666]

no. it isn't. That's Titanis. Titanis is a phorusrhacid, close to the living cariama. Gastornis (diatryma isn't a real animal, like brontosaurus) is related to ducks and chickens.

how in the hell you got those two confused is bewildering.

[1RadicalOne]

Why you see fit to make an insult over mixing two similar-looking extinct predators is equally bewildering.

[KingdomAtWar]

a larger ancestor of the diatryma(or gastornis), the titanis, lived in the early pliocene to the early pleistocene, if im not mistaken. homo sapiens were around by that time im prtty shoor.

[1RadicalOne]

If it were an ancestor, there is no way it could live AFTER it...

[egdeltur666]

@1RadicalOne uh uh.

Diatryma is not a real animal. It used to be what we now call Gastornis, which is a giant predatory Galloanserine. Diatryma was a name thought to be a new genus, but was later shown to be the same thing as Gastornis, which was named first. Ergo, Diatryma is in the realm of Brontosaurus.

Its 100% a terror bird. I understand some people have a problem telling the difference, but trust me. I know a few things about dinosaurs.

[1RadicalOne]

Regardless of the species depicted in this clip, it is obvious that none of the relevant ones discussed are dinosaurs, so saying that makes no sense in this context.

[barak219]

than we would've killed them all by now...

[ceitiosaurus]

i wish humans and terror birds did live at the same time!
