@____thecommenter1569 Well, (un)luckily for you, THEY. EXIST. There's an article where scientists were messing about w the genes of a chicken embryo and it came out w four legs and no wings
The Future is Wild had a creature in it called a carakiller. It was a large futuristic bird that hunted in packs. It was my first introduction to something like a terror bird, and young me was blown away when I learned something like that actually had existed.
The Animal Planet show, The Most Extreme, mentions Terror Birds in the episode "Awesome Ancestors". In fact, it was #2 on that episode (#1 was the Giant Ground Sloth).
5:05 may be the first time we see you without your iconic hat. And that "Ayy How Are Ya" might be one of the most cowboyish entrance I've ever heard. That hat affects you, man. And Also I have to say that, I envy your calmness man. I honestly expected you to get angry when you saw the Jurassic World Tarbosaurus in the Tarbosaurus video. I think you really like this work, I appreciate it. And I think it's time to make the Many Interpretations of Albertosaurus or Gorgosaurus video. Maybe both. Many Interpretations of Albertosaurines sounds good, right?
I have three hens for both eggs and getting rid of bugs in the summer (they’re amazing pest control. They cut down fly numbers by about half). I once saw two of them chase down and tear apart a mouse to eat. They basically are Terror Birds, but we're just too big to be on the menu
There is also Kelenken model from pretty old roblox game called Cenozoic survival. Sadly this game didn't made it and now Devs working on hight quality roblox game called "Ecos: La Brea"
7:05 That's not the only one! The Dolores formation of Uruguay has yielded both the remains of Smilodon populator and of multiple terror birds. One of these has been identified as Psilopterus, the smallest phorusrhacid genus at only 70-80cm tall (still tall for most birds!), so perhaps not exactly the person-sized birds as we see in WWB episode 5, but it was still a terror bird that lived with a sabretooth cat!
_Journey to the Beginning of Time_ also features a stop-motion Phorusrhacos as one of the more dangerous animals that the human characters have a close encounter with.
The 10.000 BCE's Titanis also had non-avian theropod pronated hands, it felt weird to be when I first saw it The Jurassic World Alive's Kelenken also seens to have claws in its hands, but they look similar to ostrich or baby hoatzin claws.
Great video, but a few notes on the Primeval ones, the original series had two versions, but still doesn’t say what species. And the New World one is Leggy the child of two others, the reason he looks like he went through a lot is because he has, he was kidnapped and experimented on.
23:00 About Primeval's terror birds: the original show has 2 designs: one from season 3 (with brown feathers) and another from season 4 (with black feathers and a white ring around the neck) as far as I know it was never confirmed what species these were or even if they were the same species. Primeval: New World has a completely different design and it is confirmed to be Titanis walleri
"Walking With Beasts" was my introduction to Phorusrhacos, and thus terror birds in general, and it's cool that we're getting more interpretations of these creatures. It's also awesome that the legendary Ray Harryhausen did his own take on one of these birds.
Fun fact: In Carnivores Ice Age, Titanis used to be a secret animal, marked on the map as a question mark (kind of like what Iguanodon used to be like in Dinosaur Hunter). Also, I don't really agree about the terror birds in Life on Our Planet, especially with the context of a pretty... upsetting behind-the-scenes video where the show's creators openly admitted to sacrificing scientific accuracy in favour of making their terror bird "something a Smilodon would be afraid of". That move didn't even have that much of a point since they ended up using that terror bird to promote the (already disproven) narrative of Smilodons outcompeting terror birds anyway.
I went into this video only looking for the part that would show Tryma and/or Titanis from Fossil Fighters, AND YOU ACTUALLY INCLUDED AT LEAST ONE OF THEM! I only watch these videos to see if Fossil Fighters is in it, and for once, it is. I can die happy.
If you hadn't commented I would have, he's covered Fossil Fighters before but occasionally misses them in his videos so I was hoping he would get it in here 👍
Had to break out some deep cuts for you, but figured it'd be worth it - The WWD Phorusrhacos was in fact based on a particular species that was in family in the time, but now were shifted to the genus Devincenzia that ranged from the Miocene to the end of the Pliocene back in 2013. There's a set of fossils that would put them right smack dab at the same time the oldest Smilodon populator fossils, both were found in Venezuela I do believe. So there was a potential window for both species to meet! - On the Primeval bits, both examples are supposed to be Titanis! Primeval in it's original series run had two different types of terror birds, with the Titanis ones showing up in season three. Another with a more distinct black and white feather contrast and yellow beak showed up in season 4. The big differences are the clawed wings IIRC, which ties in to the next bullet - So you made notice of varying claws and the one that outright had dinosaur hands. There was a portion of time from 1994-2005 where a theory was published that the shortened wing hands could have been used as grasping forelimbs with claws, which led to some interpretations of rather tyrannosaurine like arms. This was refuted in 2005, where the comparison was made to the closest living member of the terror birds, the seriama, also had similar arms and didn't have grasping arms but normal wings. Just took a bit for it to kinda fade out of pop culture as it want to do. - And something I learned while fact checking myself here, the oldest Titans bones in Texas actually date back to the Pliocene, before North and South America were connected! A bit of solid evidence for the inter-faunal changes between North and South America being in waves versus a singular event, most of which was theorized after looking at the genetic differences of modern animals like the varieties of deer currently living in South America. Not terribly relevant at all but love sharing new facts!
_”All birds are bipedal (😄)!”_ _GREAT_ video once again (👏)! The ‘Terror Birds’ have become some of my favorite non-Mesozoic prehistoric animals ever since “Walking with Beasts (which was my introduction to them).”
I'm considering making cosplay/Halloween masks based on some of the terror bird depictions in media, so it's cool to see a video breaking down each one at the same time.
The Axe Beak from Dungeons and Dragons is based off of Terror Birds I know that’s a medieval fantasy creature but hey I thought it could use an honorable mention here in the comments lol
Original primeval actually had a another design for terror bird aswell, in fourth or fifth series, with white and black feathers, more pink skin and if I remember correctly, beak with some yellow. The one you have shown here was from series 3.
My favorite thing about the Titanis from 10,000 BC was that they even scared the villains. These villains enslaved hundreds or thousands of people and even mammoths, but the Terror Birds were too much for them.
Hi Dino Guy. If you're looking for more sources for your content them nay I suggest the following documentaries: - Wah Chang's Dinosaurs: The Terrible Lizards (1970) + Wah Chang's Age of Mammals (1981), or you can swap them for the revised 1986 Dinosaurs and other Strange Creatures edition if you like - 64,000,000 Years Ago (1981) - Muttaburrasaurus: Life In Gondwana (1993) - Once Upon Australia / Prehistoric Australia (1995) There's also the PC game Dinosaur Safari from 1996 for more vintage interpretations.
Hey there, I was actually just wondering, if given the chance, would you like to do the many interpretations of Struthiomimus? I've noticed that Struthiomimus was shown to be pretty underrated in films and television, but in some games like Path of Titans and Ark Survival: Evolved, it's a really good thing this dinosaur survival game gave it the spotlight. Species included: 1. Struthiomimus altus (Campanian-early Maastrichtian) 2. Struthiomimus sedens (Maastrichtian) Main spotlight in films, television and games: 1. The Dinosaurs! 2. The Land Before Time franchise 3. Disney's Dinosaur 4. Saurian 5. Path of Titans 6. Prehistoric Planet If you have any suggestions for the upcoming dinosaur I've requested, please let me know and we'll keep in touch. Anyway, greetings from Phoenix, Arizona. 🇲🇽🤠🏜🦕🦖🦤🦣
There was a genus of "terror bird" found in France named Eleutherornis, lived during the Eocene epoch, so apparently families of carnivorous terrestrial birds did lived across the globe at one point, only for the phorusrhacids to prosper in South America due to the tropical climate
Gon is the story of a little TRex with huge attitude. He is a menace, and the Manga was created by Masashi Tanaka He also makes an apperance in Tekken 3
At 11:00 the word you’re looking for can be chibified! In the art world that’s how we refer to things that are simplified to look cuter. Technically it’s a Japanese term that means stylistically deformed, but in English it’s co-opted into being “tiny, exaggerated, and cute.”
9:28 Which is also similar to other theropods that also have this sickle claw like Dromeosaurids(Raptors) & Troodontids. 24:33 The wrists are also prorated that Avian dinosaurs(Birds) couldn’t actually prorated their wrists which meaning this Terror bird is breaking it’s wrist.
My favorite group of animals of all. And while they aren't related, the ratites (the ostrich being my favorite extant animal period) serve as a reminder of the greatness birds have achieved even without the gift of flight, in spite of it one could even say
There are only two other appearances I can think of. One is from the animated Turok: Son of Stone film which is probably Titanis. The other is in the film Journey to the Beginning of Time, as well as the original Czech film Cesta do pravěku it was adapted from, that was Phorusrhacos.
For april fools do one of these videos about the many interpretations of barinasuchus, and then just have it be 30min of a black screen with no commentary.
Phorusrhacos appeared in the 1955 film Journey to the Beginning of Time. It's a bit outdated with how they depicted the animal running with it's head lower than it's body. Which is how it was depicted in some media back then.
@@Morrison-saber-tooth I originally saw the film at a cousin's house who had it on VHS. Granted at the time I wasn't aware that it was a Czech film but then again I watched a lot of films growing that I didn't realize were foreign. Now I own the Criterion Blu-Ray for this film that is part of a Karel Zeman pack with two other films.
24:30 you know, this isnt the only one interpretation of terror bird showing it dinosaur-like. There is a game called "Dinosaur hunter: Deadly shores" which has many pretty cool dinosaurs designs.
13:10 this guy's name is "Speed King" because he's ungodly fast compared to other animals in the "GON" cartoon. I like Gon, and I think you'll enjoy it too someday 14:04 except 🦕 brontosaurus 14:12 reminds me of somebody... I don't remember where...
No Love for Gastronis? The one that was most likely a plant eater and the basis for Final Fantasy's Chocobo? Jules Verne's Mysterious Island is amazing, and who better to bring it to life than Ray Harryhaussen?
Gastornis is no longer classified as a terror bird; we now think it was closer to waterfowl that to any other living group. Certainly a good candidate for another video, but sadly disqualified from this one. :)
There’s also Brutornis in King Kong 2005, of course it’s a fake species. It’s said to be a terror bird, but it looked more like a Gastornithid in my opinion.
@7:42 Various birds do have a spur on their wings, however, Phorusrhachids didn't. The idea of a clawed hand or wing was a trope promoted by a misinterpretation of Titanis wing bones. The idea has long since been debunked. 21:05 The earliest terror birds did live in Europe and Africa, but they went extinct early on and survived in the New World. More derived forms never existed in the Old World. That, and the last terror birds went extinct existed until 17000 years ago at best thanks to Psilopterus. In Uruguay. 26:33 Generally speaking, by the time the Great American Interchange occurred, Titanis was the only bird found in North America. However, these predators were already dying off even before the Isthmus of Panama formed. Their decline could have been the result of fluctuating temperatures throughout the Neogene that heavily effected larger forms.
It’s interesting you mention that media never mentions the name of terror birds because I thought that was their name lol just like trex is named Tyrannosaurus Rex officially and if you want to know the genus types you’ll have to do more research
TERROR BIRDS ARE HERE 🗣️🔥 One thing I will say, the Phorusrhacos model in LOOP definitely ain’t the best, especially since it’s mainly ripped off the titanis model. Phorusrhacos had a more rounded and thick beak, more of an oval, while Titanis and Kelenken had a straighter, more rectangular beak.
You forgot gastornis or did you do one of it specifically? I know that ark also has a terror bird and in the dossier I think they mention that the species was phorousrachos
That does annoy me when documentaries only refer to them as Terror Birds, they should say this is insert whatever species is represented the Terror Bird.
"All birds are bipedal" killed me 😭🤣
OMG are you the Godzilla STEM guy?
@@Emerald501sttf is that??
Cue the fart reverb sound effect for that line.

@____thecommenter1569 Well, (un)luckily for you, THEY. EXIST.
There's an article where scientists were messing about w the genes of a chicken embryo and it came out w four legs and no wings
14:07 I motion that when Dino Guy opens his merch store, we get t-shirts saying “All birds are bipedal” with terror bird silhouettes on it as well 😂
we need that t-shirt
It made me think of "behold! A man!🐔"
The Future is Wild had a creature in it called a carakiller. It was a large futuristic bird that hunted in packs. It was my first introduction to something like a terror bird, and young me was blown away when I learned something like that actually had existed.
That would be a nice thing for him to mention I was actually thinking the same thing
I remember the Carakiller (😉). “The Future Is Wild” was my introduction to the whole concept of speculative evolution.
The Animal Planet show, The Most Extreme, mentions Terror Birds in the episode "Awesome Ancestors". In fact, it was #2 on that episode (#1 was the Giant Ground Sloth).

the terrorbird wich appeared in the original series from primeval is a Phorusrhacos. It's on the wikipedia page from primeval written.

@7:42 Various birds do have a spur on their wings, however, Phorusrhachids didn't. The idea of a clawed hand or wing was a trope promoted by a misinterpretation of Titanis wing bones. The idea has long since been debunked.
21:05 The earliest terror birds did live in Europe and Africa, but they went extinct early on and survived in the New World. More derived forms never existed in the Old World. That, and the last terror birds went extinct existed until 17000 years ago at best thanks to Psilopterus. In Uruguay.
26:33 Generally speaking, by the time the Great American Interchange occurred, Titanis was the only bird found in North America. However, these predators were already dying off even before the Isthmus of Panama formed. Their decline could have been the result of fluctuating temperatures throughout the Neogene that heavily effected larger forms.
in honor of the new discovery you should do a homotherium video
The ice age one is actually gastornis
It’s interesting you mention that media never mentions the name of terror birds because I thought that was their name lol just like trex is named Tyrannosaurus Rex officially and if you want to know the genus types you’ll have to do more research
TERROR BIRDS ARE HERE 🗣️🔥
One thing I will say, the Phorusrhacos model in LOOP definitely ain’t the best, especially since it’s mainly ripped off the titanis model.
Phorusrhacos had a more rounded and thick beak, more of an oval, while Titanis and Kelenken had a straighter, more rectangular beak.
I agree. It’s mostly the colors I take a liking to.
Also, the creators of the show openly admitted to sacrificing accuracy in favour of making it "scary"
You forgot gastornis or did you do one of it specifically?
I know that ark also has a terror bird and in the dossier I think they mention that the species was phorousrachos
Well, Gastornis isn’t a terror bird. So it will likely appear in a different video.
I like how 10bc movies terror birds eat horse. Which is prob accurate
Up next is the ex largest land mammal
no Dino Dana titanis ?
That does annoy me when documentaries only refer to them as Terror Birds, they should say this is insert whatever species is represented the Terror Bird.
And we have the miros bird the cyborg rainworld version of ur terror birds
There's a different Titanis model in fossil fighters that looks way better than that one, from another game in the series
