Persistence hunter?

Whatever, Google told me The London Zoo has a few Jba Fofi . Remember Always" NATURE HAS A WAY" so stop lieing to people, the Jba Fofi does exist, Google even admitted it, so try again.

Thank you so much for mentioning the book and giving that warning. Crichton's work is excellent, but it IS a lot more visceral and graphic than most of the films made based on his books. (Terminal Man being a possible exception, but boy is that one obscure. And not about dinosaurs, heh.) A fascinating creature and really one of the better "faces" to introduce a kid to paleontology, even when that might include unraveling the confusion between film/pop culture assertions and the actual fossils and actual science.

I thought I had read in some journal that there was evidence that the northern dinosaurs did migrate. Still, pretty cool stuff. Cheers.

I personally would argue that the often repeated 'fact' that the thylacine was a small game specialist is probably incorrect. First off, no scientific paper has ever concluded the thylacine had a weak bite, in fact, it was found that it had a proportionally powerful one (Wroe, McHenry, Thomason, 2005) And the small game specialist idea came from that the skull apparently couldn't resist the stresses of struggling prey. Which I recall was attributed to the skull being long and thin, which are also features a dog breed known as the borzoi possess, which was bred to hunt wolves with. Of course thylacine predation on sheep, kangaroos, wallabies and wombats have been well recorded in historical times, but have been completely ignored. It also doesn't make sense ecologically and evolutionary either. Competition wouldn't be a good argument, as going for small prey would bring it in more competition (perenties, Tasmanian devils, tiger quolls, wedge-tailed eagles) than prey around the size of a wombat or wallaroo (it would have to compete with komodo dragons which eat about everything that moves, big or small, and maybe Sacrophilius laniarius) and Thylacoleo, Quinkana and megalania seem to be adapted to prey much bigger than what the thylacine was reported to eat. It doesn't make sense evolutionary because the thylacine descended from ancenstors that went for larger prey, which is a trait that makes no sense to evolve away, as it limits adaptability. (Also I doubt the animal showed at 11:34 is a fox, as its too bulky to be a mangy fox, aswell as its tail being too thick for one and its face being way too thylacine like)

Awesome content! I love dicynodonts!

If it exists. It may not be a Smilodon but an animal related to African big cats that went through convergent evolution. As far as is known. The Smilodon's range was North and South America and did not extend to Africa

I’m gonna be that movie nerd In the Jurassic world movie there’s a hologram of dilophosaurus and it’s around the same size as the “alpha” raptor

Raptors FTW

Yeah... The book Jurassic Park is very, very different... Hammond isn't a sweet, whimsical grandfather... And he goes out hard... After they have taken back control of the park. I read it at the age of 12... Probably not my dad's best idea...

My first experience with the Jurassic Park movies was a VHS tapes that I watched with my uncle in 1999 or 2000 when I was about three and a half years old. My first own Jurassic Park movie was Jurassic Park 3, which was bought for us on DVD. Back then, Jurassic Park was allowed in Finland for all ages, but Little House on the Prairie was forbidden from those under 18. Ah, the golden beginning of the 2000s when Finland's age limit recommendations made no sense.

Any badass from the Triassic is worth praise.

38 babies! Bless her heart ❤

My favorite guys

Jurassic Park is with out a doubt my favourite dinosaur movie of all time 😁🦖🦕 # Here's hoping Jurassic World Rebirth will just a amazing as it's predecessors 😊

it's 2025

Not misunderstood, simply corrupted and co-opted in the interests of modern fiction. The actual dilophosaurus was not far removed from much smaller, basal theropods, and was the first undisputed (theropod) apex predator following the extinction of the gorgonopsians as the Devonian gave way to the Triassic. Later theropods were far more formidable, but if dilophosaurus existed today it would dominate even the largest mammalian predators due to it's imposing height and apparent size. Elephants, rhinos, hippos, and even giraffes and water-buffalo would too difficult/dangerous prey for a dilophosaur.

My first experience with this dinosaur was the 1908s ROURKE diniosaur librarry book series

Can I say how hilarious it is that usually when you have a size comparison between a human and Dilophosaurus... the human is almost always an expy of Nedry?

You chose a fantastic set of accompanying images that really help in imagining the reality of this creature. 3:10 It would be very difficult to live in the 90s and not know that Michael Crichton wrote the book that became the movie-that’s what he was known for and had already accomplished with Andromeda Strain, and he was a huge egomaniac who put his name everywhere he could. He even went on to direct movies himself eventually. Similarly, the generally known sentiment was that the book was much better. It and Andromeda Strain are two of his most famous, and were often referenced in context of the movies. And if anyone hasn’t read Andromeda Strain, I highly recommend it, especially in the context of the post-pandemic world.

Wait, that dude grew up in the 90s and sounds like a 60 year old man....

that 'harmless to horror' scene was so impactful when i was young, all the dinos in the film were obviously friendly or dangerous from the start, except this one, where it's curiosity turns to predatory behavior based on Nedry's reaction to it, strongly learned the lesson 'not everything is what it seems' at 8 years old

Hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhggggghh

Side tangent: was not suspecting MTG Jurassic Park. Weird.

I'm like this with Prionosuchus. Not technically a dinosaur, but for some reason I'm fascinated by the idea of what's essentially a giant croco-salamander, and I can't explain exactly why.

I'm so sorry guys but I've got to take this video down due to an error I made in correctly attributing a piece of art to its proper creator. I'll reupload it again shortly.

Speaking of the Jurassic Park novels, the novel of The Lost World is one of those books that has stuck with me- Because I rarely if ever see an author trash their own work so hard. Almost everything you think of as iconic to Jurassic Park (raptors in packs, T. Rex seeing movement, it's a unix system) gets mocked and shown why they wouldn't work. Very colorfully put in terms for the vision based on movement thing too.

They were mixed with frog DNA, they were never gonna be 1 to 1...

Nedry: “What do ya want, you want food? Look at me, I’m soaking wet, I just fell down a hill, I have no food! I have nothing on me!” Dilo: “You *ARE* food…….”

I respected the film as entertainment. Sure, it would be great if it would have kept closer to what the field thought of the animals up to that time. I was just glad that the cringy, despised character got what he deserved in that scene.

Not too much to do with this video, but I really too just want to recommend the books, they are incredibly overlooked and offer so much more insight into all of the occurrences, especially as I feel that they are more grounded in a sense, less sensational than the films, though the horror aspects just are great too; I say this while also being a huge fan of the first film, I don't see either the film or the books as better than the other, inherently, but I love both for different reasons. Great video though, on one of my favourite dinosaurs.

Ironically it's thanks to the Jurassic Park novel - not the movie, the novel - that made Dilophosaurus my absolute favorite dinosaur. At least the novel got the size right.

When considering how dangerous dinosaurs could be one should look at modern stories of man eaters that's killed a lot of people.

Jurassic Park is one of the few instances where the book and film differ significantly but are both really good. I love them both, and must have read the book at least ten times. The changes to the book (aging up the girl, making Hammond more likable, merge several minor characters, drop several secondary storylines) make for a much better movie than a more true-to-the-text adaptation would have been. Generally the pacing of the entire movie is great, and no need to say anything about the revolutionary effects. But still the book has the bigger "oh shit" moment, when they figure out why the computer system miscounted dinosaurs. While I love the movie with all my heart, it did indeed spread some "alternative facts" about Dilophosaurus (the size, the frill, the spitting, as mentioned in this video) and Raptors, whose size was modeled after Deinonychus (Deinonychus antirrhopus), not the much smaller Velociraptor (Velociraptor mongoliensis). This was kinda-explained in the book by refering to the Deinonychus as a species of Velociraptor (Velociraptor antirrhopus).

It's ironic that the 2008 Turok has a more accurate Dilophosaurus than JP.

My biggest curiosity nearly 30 years after the fact is why they didn’t try to super-size this dino considering the real animal was decently larger than it’s JP depiction. It wasn’t a small Raptor-sized predator but one of the first larger meso-predators like the Ceratosaurs or Asphaltovenator.

If you have any say in this as a creator: PLEASE shut off that "automatic translation" feature. Nobody wants this kind of AI garbage. There's no reason for UA-cam to make it opt-out instead of opt-in.

I swear I've seen one of the Jurassic Park franchise films featuring "compies" attacking and killing an infant in Costa Rica or some country nearby one of the park islands

Members of the general public who think the JP dinosaurs were ever intended to be accurate are really not watching the films carefully. They explain straight out in the first film that they’re chimeras of archosaurs and amphibians. They’re designed by humans more so than resurrected from nature. This is stated again in JP3, when Grant mentions that they aren’t really necessarily accurate. Then Woo discusses this multiple times in the Jurassic World films. Anyone still clinging to the idea that they’re actually dinosaurs in the universe of the films is barely a casual fan as they’re ignoring all the times the films contradict this idea.

Dilophasaurus is my 2nd favourite carnivourouse dinosaur. My first being Allosaurus

Extremely flattered that you used my art for the thumbnail! But could you credit me please? Thanks!

Doesn't even need the frill or he venom spit to be interesting. One of my favourites too.

This is the state dinosaur where my father's Indian Reservation is located! Also Sarasaurus too.

Cool stuff Doc! BTW, what's up Doc? Ha ha ha ha!

Great video. I know comments help with the algorithm, so.......Donald Trump sure is doing great. Let me know if you agree or disagree.

when i visited the St. George dinosaur discovery site in Utah, there were thousands of footprints attributed to dilophosaurus. they seemed pretty adamant that while they were generalist predators they absolutely seemed built to catch fish. the forearms let them grab slippery bodies and the hooked upper jaw let them grab them more easily really like the big grizzlies of their time in that aspect

It seems that there was a fad for claiming that many different carnivores were actually scavengers around that time.

Hi Dr. Polaris. Could the injuries of the Dilophosaurus @10:51 have occurred through out its lifetime in perhaps separate events? I kinda have many of the same scars from a long eventful life but I couldn't imagine surviving if they happened all at once.

The thumbnail alone, wow. Nice lol

Book usually is better. In this case, a lot more brutal too.
