jeez why would the dwarf iguanadon actually nearly KILL his own buddy? just for practice? practice for what? thats more of predatory thing...practice killing techniques....but even predatory animals don't practice til one of them is potentially fataly wounded, jeez!!
Anybody else is bothered that all animals seem to hunt in packs in these documentaries? Birds don't hunt in packs. Crocodiles don't hunt in packs. The majority of the main mammal predator order, the carnivora order. don't hunt in packs (only canidae and lions do, as far as I know). So wtf?
well why not? although i don't know if the carcharodontosaurus or full-size tarascosaurus count b/c they were only seen in pairs and the land crocodiles, alvarezsaurus, and shuuvia didn't cooperate with each other or stick together
besides you can take down larger prey, watch for danger more easily, and ambush in packs
those dwarf dromaeosaurs took down a rhabdodon in part 3, which one wouldn't be able to do
@Koga33525 it just looks like a behaviour too complex for them. It's not seen in either extant reptiles or birds. Only mammals hunt in true, organized packs.
well troodonts and pyroraptor are as smart as mammals
and you only see mammals hunting in packs today because, dinosaurs, land crocodiles, and giant killer birds are all extinct and they're the top predators now and crocodiles don't need to hunt in packs b/c one can bring down a zebra and they only get together in groups to mate or tear apart their prey
and wait did you say it's not seen in EXTINCT reptiles or birds? are you really sure about that? maybe they had to pack hunt or starve
"and wait did you say it's not seen in EXTINCT reptiles or birds"
Nope. I said the very opposite of it: It is not seen in any EXTANT, i.e. remaining, non extinct reptiles.
For all I care, there might have been sentient dinosaurs. I just don't see anything suggesting that. Or pack hunting. As I hinted, pack hunting is fairly rare even among mammals. Of all cats only the lion does it. Not all canines do that either. Maybe only two primates, chimps and us. And of course many cetaceans.
But do you see a pattern here? Pack hunting is not just rare, it's mostly concentrated at the top brightest mammals. Dogs are among the brightest mammals, and we don't really need to get started on primates and cetaceans. Do we have any evidence suggesting there were dinosaurs nearly as smart? I don't think so.
@Eikinkloster Well, the Harris Hawk is well-known for hunting in packs (which are actually family groups) and crocodiles would hunt in a pack (in a way) when large herds of zebra and wildebeest migrate through their rivers. So, dinosaurs with a packing behavior is not too far-fetched, in a way.
I will refrain from saying any more about this topic as it seems thise that have never worked in the field seem to think they know more than those that have been working in the field for the last 15 years.
I do however invite anyone who wishes to come with me on any dig in the USA or to my office in AZ for a talk and hands on look at fossils of all species of flora and fauna
Incidentally, The "feathers" are not the same feathers as what you see on birds today. Its like the down of a newborn chick or duckling. The most famous raptor nick-named "Fuzzy" by many, if you google it, you can probably see what I am talking about. Some artists have wrongly depicted raptors with ong tail feathers like you would see on a bird. This is clearly the artistic liberty
Velociraptor has been discovered with quill nobs on its forearm. Also lets not forget that Microraptor, Rahonavis and Sinornithosaurus all had feathers. These animals, all "raptors" (I prefer the term Dromeosaurs, as should you) have feathers, flight feathers in the case of some. It thus makes sense to assume all members of the family inherited feathers from their ancestors and all had them to some degree. Unless you have a dromeosaur fossil with some other covering on it your arguement is poor.
Trust me, its was weird when we found raptor fossils with feathers. It blew the science for a huge loop. But at the same time it brought us alot of steps closer in realizing that Birds and Dinosaurs had some much more in common. The problem now is artists are wrongly placing feathers on tons of raptor-like species that clearly did not have feathers like Oviraptor and Struthiomimus. We know this from fossilized skin imprints
It wasn't weird Huxley noticed the similarities between birds and dinosaurs back in 1859. Robert Bakker's 1975 publication of Dinosaur Renaissance included an illustration of a feathered dinosaur and in the 1980's Gregory Paul was painting feathered dinosaurs as well. Species of Oviraptoridae have been found with feathers and even a pogo style and the remains of the brooding oviraptors supports the idea that they were feathered. Man, I wish the remaining character count was not getting so low.
The big problem and mistake they made with these shows is the overplay of feathers/down on raptors. the truth is only 2 fossils have been found to have feathers/down on raptor species. In all the specimens I have looked at, I have found no such fossil marks. It is highly doubtful that ALL raptors had feathers. At he stage raptors were at, the formation of down was good for only one thing and thats insulation. And not very good insulation at that.
it's just an assumption. A very good assumption. I mean look at it. They find a few fossils of feathers, and theyre all like, hey that makes sense. So they assume that all raptors have feathers.
Yes it is am assumption But in my professional opinion its a rather far off theory. Take the iguanadonts. There are fossils of them found in America, Europe, Asia and Africa. They all have certain features that make them the same species But they are different in hieght, neck length, tail length and mussel space. We also have to realized that feathers at the time we forming to keep these creatures warm in winter. In some places in the world, feathers were not needed for this purpose.
By that logic flightless birds in warm climates shouldn't have feathers. They do because they inherited them from their ancestors. The same is true for dromaeosaurs. Any biologist would understand this.
Speaking as a paleontologist, in the field for over 15 years: The feather fossils that have been found are NOT the same feathers of today, it is DOWN. You are also discussing a different time period when creation was still going made due to different climates. The oxygen level was much higher, volcanic activity, seas moving rapidly and extreme temperture changes. You can not compare bird of today to creatues of these early eons.
seemed like a Troodon to me. I think youre wrong on this one. I dont even think the Troodon is a coelurosaur. I -could- be wrong because i remember something about all feathered dinos being coelurosaur but im pretty confident the show got it right.
Around 3:42 aaack eeeep aaack that's the cry of the predator.
