Thank you again to Jim and Scott for taking time out of their day and talking to me about this project and John for organising the whole thing. Sorry If the audio isn't crystal clear I had a little problem with one of the mics, which I should have caught.
"Next time it'll be flawless!"
I had so much fun talking to these guys and I can't wait to see the progress they make with this amazing project.Also don't forget to help support them and find out more here : www.gofundme.com/utahraptor
TheGamingBeaver Always happy to see people's dreams come true, have a great day
TheGamingBeaver Love your videos keep it up and can you play more fish feed and grow plz
h
TheGamingBeaver wow
Yay beaver I love your videos and keep up the awesome work and in hungry shark evolution I think the new shark would be probably a pliasaur but this time the pliasaur will be one that fits in too the more realistic side
Can I just say... paleontologist are the most chill people I have ever met. They remind me of cheerful gnomes.
JustinNathy Yo look up the Bone Wars. They aren’t all positive, happy gnome people finding dinosaurs in the desert
Loryska I was joking, I’m aware no group of people are all a certain way 😇
I didn't think you were making assumptions, I just wanted to share a bit of interesting paleontologist history. The Bone Wars were ruthless af.
Cheerfull gnomes-are they paleologists?
Loryska ah that’s interesting stuff, thank you very much!
Sorry if I seemed rude, tone doesn’t translate well through text.
Anyone who thinks a feathered dinosaur isn't scary never met an angry mother emu. She was on the other side of a fence, so I wasn't in danger, but man did I feel fear.
brigidtheirish aye, also the cassowary
Um if you touch even one egg of a Mother dinosaur you are dead
Or they've never been completely surrounded by a flock of 20 emus at feeding time :')
Or a angry mother chicken, I was once chased through a field by a hen because I was trying to hug one of her chicks so she attacked, it was absolutely viscous.
One time a duck tried to kill me when I was 3 but my mom saved me
''Feathered Dinos are not scary''
And runs away screaming from an angry Goose
@Where's the hen? imagine encountering a wild Titanis... that would be the scariest thing on earth.
Has no one ever heard of seagulls!?
"Animating Feathers/Hair is pain in the @ss."
Ark players: *Sweats in Yutyrannus*
They work so hard on that but they could update the raptors looks again tbh, oh wait deinonychus
Fuck the Yutyrannus they always sneaks up on me when i land for stamina in the snow biome i look around before i land and he comes from nowhere and jumps me and my tame
@@BigMidGang i love the yuty but i hate getting surprised by them on of know were
A R G E N T A V I S
Paralyzed Orbit whenever I find a yutyrannus, I am riding my spino. I have leveled this particular spino up a lot and I can easily take down the yutyrannus with claw attacks.
Thank you so much for coming to Utah and featuring the Utahraptor Project. I donate my time working on the web content and graphics for the team, and we're so grateful for the interest and support from the gaming community.
BJ Nicholls No problem! It was amazing to see it in person and I'm just glad I can help spread the word
You go BJ! keep helping the project along. Science is not left to those who sit on the sidelines!!! Thank you for all of the help
Hehehe
BJ Nicholls i
Your work is very important to the world! you are uncovering secrets of the past basically!
i like this guy's attitude, he clearly enjoys and is enthusiastic about his profession. god bless him and the awesome work he does.
I mean i love dinosaurs, and think about it: if you loved dinosaurs and you got to study their fossils every day for your JOB, id fucking love it
Too bad he's wrong.

“Feathers are a pain in the backside to animate”
*slowly turns to look at the argentavis*
He seems like that kind of guy you can sit with and just talk for hours.
Yeah
He would a perfect teacher. The only teacher were you would sad that the class ends ;)
I’d love to get that opportunity some day.
I'm sure most PhD are like that, especially when teaching/talking about their own research.
I can personally say, yes, Jim is that kind of guy
I'm actually slightly impressed with Jim's observations on the difficulty of creating a fully feathered game model... and he's absolutely right, too.
Valandar2 If we are talking about hyper realistic movie computer graphics, then definetly. But in games feathers mostly are just planes with alpha masks and aren't simulated but manually animated or if they are simulated, it is in clusters, not each feather individually. Overall, not that amazing.
ark has 4 or 5 feathered/ furry creatures for example, argentavis and mammoth
The isle feathered most of it's dinosaurs, except the really large ones for obvious performance issues (they're pretty scientifically accurate which means cimparednto their standard unit these things are f-ing massive), so there's that.
Valandar2 his name is James
lovable Megan Jim or Jimmy is a common nickname for James.
11:34 XD the guy in the back looks so disgusted with every single one

This made me cry seeing all the stuff in the back. I have a dream to be a paleontologist but I can’t afford or do college. So videos that help me learn are my closest thing. Thank you.
That's why there's school loans. Go for it!
@@leejenkins7184 lol if it would be easy. The U.D. is trash
@@leejenkins7184 don't tell people to go indebt. Especially to the government.
The fact that he pointed out how Theropods couldn't turn their wrists down made me happy. It seems to be such a little-known fact.
Kara Sume Its because movies and games (most games are inaccurate) have turned people into morons.
Ikr
Agreed!
Am Ros This is mostly due to nostalgia and their need to stick to the familiarity of the dinos for the sake of the audience.
The Isle's Utahraptor dosen't have the arms like that- it was just a picture that positioned them weirdly
James, in case you weren't aware, you just helped out the _Utahraptor_ project a whole lot more. There have been way more donations and support for it within the last couple of hours thanks to you!
That's brilliant. Glad he could help out. Was great that he went out to do this. It's just so out of his element here, like he said at the start. But still very very good that he went for it. The interview was fantastic. Better than what most professional interviewers would have done. As most tend to talk over and interrupt the people we actually want to hear from. 10/10
Luigi Gaskell cool I hope ya get as much help as ya need
And hopefully more will come pouring in 👍
Luigi Gaskell Hey Luigi nice seeing you here!
This dude’s joy and passion for dinosaurs was absolutely infectious. Great interview subject!
When he described a Utahraptor attacking, it felt like the scene in Jurassic Park at the beginning when Alan Grant scares the kid, but this guy’s overall vibe was much more Ian Malcolm! Exuberant joy and sarcasm/humor.
I feel like with his comments about being friends with the early Jurassic Park producers, the Alan Grant character could easily have been a caricature of him and the real person that character was based on.

Spinosaurus fan: "Reality is often disappointing"
End Boss Eleven 🤷♂️ the world will never know the actual answer
Me🙇🏽♂️I still think in some cases the spino could take out a T Rex if it had to.
@@GhostGaming-yi7pf Spinosaurus walked on all 4 as wasn't as nearly as big as the t rex the way they displayed it in Jurassic park so no t rex would win
Dankie Can you not read? Size doesn’t always mean you win. Also I said in certain situations, like a spino needing yo defend itself from a trex could have a chance to win the fight. Yes in most cases a Trex will win but it doesn’t mean always. Also I already knew it wasn’t bipedal and was smaller.
@@GhostGaming-yi7pf They didn't live on the same continent OR the same time period. There's no point in discussing "who would win".
Man I love everytime Scott reacted to the Utahraptors in games he was like "dafuq?"
Oh, hey!
Scott is not impressed
MUHGURD WE'RE ALL HERE

One more here, guys!
HOLY RAPTOR JEEBUS
Who's here because they love dinosaurs?
*I raise my hand*
I'll raise my hand because i feel bad nobody else has the past six months man *raises hand*
*raises hand*
I tried lol
*Raise my hand* I love theropods & ceratopsid and also hadrosaurid

12:40 hahaha that expression of the guy in the back like “I can’t believe this idiots create such things this days” LOL
Why would you call him an idiot when they were the ones to discover dinosaurs and bones of the dinosaurs
@@-_-life_is_unordinary-_-9423 they are talking about the game designers
@@-_-life_is_unordinary-_-9423 get some glasses
@@-_-life_is_unordinary-_-9423 you stupid
If I was rich I would fund the hell outta this and make sure that EVERYONE gives this man 100% percent credit for, not just the Utah raptor but for, all his discoveries. But that's just me if I had enough $$ to do so...
To those who think that a feathered raptor isn't scary:
Go find a cassowary and square up with it. Shouldn't be a problem, it's covered in feathers and much much smaller than something like a Utahraptor.
Heck I doubt they'd keep their cool against an accurately sized velociraptor.
Did ya know, that a velociraptor is the size of a chicken? Utahraptor ya mean.
@@prestonang8216 Yeah thats why hes saying that a lot of people would even be scared of a velociraptor in person despite its small size. Those things are quite vicious.
ReggieRecklezz
They didnt hunt in packs... ya could grab it by the neck and punch it to death
I love cassowaries but I would never go close to one XD.
ReggieRecklezz ikr those bastards are cannibals too!
the 2 paleontologists are so cool!! i wish Hollywood & gamedevs would consult them more for accuracy.
check out Saurian if you havent already
Jim: my raptors bigger than Spielberg’s
Indoraptor: *hold my genetic modifications*
You are an ultimate dinosaur fan
spielberg wasn't the director of jurassic world like in the first movie of jurassic park. he was just a producer.

So much respect for these guys... I wanted to be a paleontologist when I was little and my dreams never came true. But this is amazing!
Never too late to go to uni and make a career of it.
Don't let them be dreams it's never too late
I agree I wanted to be a paleontologist too 😀
well, here i am, 30 years, going back to university, so...
A goal without plan is just a dream :\
Well at least they showed mercy on Ark xD as a animation artist myself feathers are super difficult to animate but they're doing such a good job with the animation i think they can upgrade the model.
Meanwhile, ark making the Deinonychus a raptor but over-floofy :
I'm coming back to this in 2020 and Jim truly is the man. Makes me so happy to see him being so passionate.
Damn he is lovely guy. I bet he makes the whole work shift one big laugh.
He does. Very nice guy, great with kids coming through the museum.
I want him to be my uncle
Remember that there are people who think fossils arent real...
And those people are ignorant creationists who think that the banana was created by a "God" specifically for human consumption. Either that or just mindless conspiracy theorists who need to make themselves feel like they know some truth that no one else does to boost their own egos because deep down they know they're idiots who can't comprehend some pretty basic scientific principles.
WUBBA LUBBA DUB DUB
Kyle Mills ok. I can buy that conspiracy theorist bit, but everything you said about Christians was incredibly wrong. I'm a Christian and all I can say is, you'd have to be dumber than a sack of hammers to not think fossils are real
Kyle Mills Yeah I mean religion is questionable but not fossils
he said creationists.... not christians dummy

It’s 2020 and I still love it. Wish we could rewind to here again
Wow. Unbelievable. I mean seriously, I thought you just sat around playing games or takin' a walk in the park in a t- rex suit all day.
Crazy to see you actually in a lab of some sort talking with a legit palaeontologist, one that named a famous dinosaur! You really outdone yourself, man, you should be proud.

Does anyone else remember that episode of Far Cry Primal where an eagle stole a goat from beaver, and then dropped it from about 50 feet high?
Edit: It didn't steal the goat, Beaver just randomly spotted it in the sky.
Thanks for the love Beavs!

so donated to this. Thank you for letting us know about it!
Kaitlyn Hunnefield thats great to hear its an amazing cause and theyll appriciate it : )
You should make a ark series again,on your own server we'd all play on it.
This is wonderful! I paint at the Museum of Ancient Life pretty regularly and it's a ton of fun. I miss having the Utah Raptor block over there but excited to see more happen with it. Thank you for doing this video!

I love how we're constantly learning stuff, as a 90s child dinosaurs seemed to change every month... even animals we have today we're still learning, I'm so glad my little nephew show me ur channel cause he loves the gaming and I get to nerd out too....
December 31st 1999?
Ryan Hogan you don't count lol
December 14st 1997 studying this shit now :D
Did you notice my question mark? I was asking if you were born then
Ryan Hogan oh, I thought u were asking if your date counted.... no, June 1990
17:00 holy shit something super obvious just occurred to me. Feathers would work GREAT for camouflage in undergrowth and whatnot. Scales might be reflective, but feathers, unless glossy black like a crow's, are not
Nerd Alert
Did you hear what he said that the raptors top coat is brownish and it’s top feathers life up to reveal red feathers also it’s wings have eyeball like patterns on them that when shaken look terrifying
Heart Blazer I don't think color hasn't been proven yet, but it might have been under the arms instead, so it would have been tucked away while it was stalking something, like how the front and back of some bird's wings are different colors.
Possibly however unlike dna Melonozomes can be fossilized and therefore tell color of the Dino
Nerd Alert really?!
Mrturtle 1928 yeah we have like 10 dinosaur colors for now, like pssytacosaurus or micoraptor
James: ".....dinosaur club..."

I once got to go into the lab area of the Academy of natural science museum in Philedelphia for my 5th birthday and got my picture taken stand next to a fossilized bone from a Paralititan, a massive Sauropod from Egypt before it was a desert.
Now I'm in college and I took a paleontology course. To my surprise, my professor was on the team that found that same Paralititan!

28:49 The way they ran out of there you would swear what one of them fossils came to life!
Haha lol
**moving trex fossil**
Much more interesting than I thought it would be, thank you!
This was so much fun to watch!!
I love the Museum of Ancient Life the exhibits are just amazingly set up in my opinion. It's the best museum of Utah. I should know because, I live in Utah.
The feathered Novaraptor is definitely the most accurate of the bunch, right down to having the primary wing feathers attached to the second finger.
The Jurassic World the Game one has a tragopan wattle! I find that hilarious for some reason XD
I mean. It's better than small naked scaly Einstein Dino I guess. Although they went a little overboard with the feathers and colors
My favorite of the bunch has to be the Utahraptor from ark, but that's just my opinion...
Does any one know that a Utahraptor is the biggest raptor
@@RetiredRodan dude... I *LOVE* Utahraptors, of course I'd know that!
Slugterra brothers/ Fourt builders Um, if oviraptors are raptors, gigantoraptor would be largest.
Me reacting to an ARK Raptor:
*HOLY SH-*
This video has popped up in my recommended ever since it was released so I'm finally watching it
Should've showed him pictures from Saurian! Would've been so cool too since Saurians goal is to be as perfectly accurate as possible
Well thats a Dacotaraptor but its close enough ;)
It’s so sad how paleontologists r never well funded he said it himself the process is slow and can take ages and he’ll never be able to see his discovery be fully unveiled
Shrimptor Shorts That's Why Alan Grant and Ellie Sattler were so Excited when John Hammond Promised to fund their did site for Several years Paleontology is unfortunately not well Funded
Sadly its true. Paleontology positions are rarely paid and mostly volunteer geologists and biologists. I’ll probably donate my time after I graduate.
James reminds me a lot of my old milling teacher.
Laid back, easygoing, extremely knowledgeable on his field, food connoisseur ;), passionate about his work, and just an absolute joy to be around.
That teacher is one of the best people i've ever had the pleasure of meeting, so i'm serious when i say that James looks like such a great guy to work with. :)
This is a wonderful video. Thanks for the fun :)
Yey, The Utahraptor project Rocks!!!!
Good pun lol.
AquaSuicune Good you noticed
I see what you did there
Oh my god I want one of those claws! :0
u can get them in arizona
Nockrow me two!!!
Whats the price.
Me too
arun rana TELL ME WHERE IN ARIZONA AND THE PRICE
you know these claws were dulled by time under the ground! See how sharp they look now and imagine how sharp they were Then
Not only that, but the keratin covering that was on the surface has completely decomposed, leaving just the inside bone of the claw. With that covering, the claw would be slightly longer, and way sharper!

Why?
As a BIG ARK player i thought ark was always right
Chill Bro
No i play ark, it is just that as he said in the video, it looks like they just stuck feathers on it after they created the creature. It looks good, but it would need a lot more feathers if it were to be realistic.
Papaya
Pee pee poo poo
Idk why people would get tilted it’s a video game and really a lot of things aren’t right they don’t know everything about dinosaurs anyway arks still a good game but it’s never gonna be completely correct
i love that guy, he is so chill.
This guy is a wealth of knowledge, so down to earth too.
as a dinosaur nerd I give you the badge of *SCIENCE!* approval
Austin from Game Theory hint?
yes.
I like the halszkaraptor
the first semi-aquatic dromaeosaur ever discovred
dino dude lol I’m a *mini* nerd of dinosaurs
we can never learn enough from them...
i remembered reading about the discovery of the Utahraptor's death trap a few years ago. it was an amazing news for the paleontology world as once it is excavated and researched, it could open so many new knowledge about utahraptors and dromaeosaurs in general! so glad to see people are funding the research and i cannot wait to see what we can discover from this amazing set of fossils.
So didnt know this was your vid until I heard your voice and it made me happy
This was awesome!
Sweet interview, I love how cool that guy is about the videogames
Fantastic video! These are exactly the kind of videos people need to see! Great work dude (and mega jealous you actually got to chat to Jim Kirkland)
Its so good to see how much this man loves his job.
This was so cool I would love to see more videos like this
This was an amazing interview with amazing people.
Good to see finally see what you were doing with paleontologists, Also, 2 things, I saw those 2 JP T-rex toys on your insta post, Secondly, I know why your in California currently, BIS spilled the news about the JWE event, can't wait to see that one!
Do you know where he is in CA? I want to find him!
DragonEntity10 Somewhere near Universal, check BIS's video about it.
*T.Rex
He was in Utah not California
lego boy30 We were talking about his invitation to the Jurassic World Evolution Expo in California, not about this video
His imagination is amazing. The way he described his idea of a Utah raptor would be absolutely awesome in a movie. That really captured my imagination.
I've loved dinosaurs and fossils since i was a little kid, this was awesome! So cool
My gosh. TheGamingBeaver should have a series called TheEducatingBeaver. This was very informative and interesting. Kinda encourages viewers to be paleantologists, I know I want to be one hahaha.
most people who act like a feathered dinosaur wouldn't be scary are kinda... not all there?
"Oh look at has FEATHERS it ain't scary! It looks like a giant chicken! Haha it looks so.... *screams as they're being mauled*
Eagle In A Beanie I’m sorry but Dinosaurs with feathers has ruined my childhood, not saying they don’t look scary at all, but they look less scary than a featherless dinosaur.
Darth Malgus how are they less scary. I dont get you
Fast moving dinos ruined my childhood, they should be slow lumbering and dragging their tails.
Science dont cair what your childhood thinks. -_-
Kostas 2405 They look like fucking birds mate, oversized fucking birds.
What if a 14 m eagle with shark jaws came running at you
Raptors are my favorite! They're so beautiful!
Compliments from the Kingdom of the Netherlands for this great video!
After saw those claws, guess tigers, lions, bears cannot scare you anymore. Whole claw can slice a human body.
That's why I love prehistóric creatures so crazily awesome
Ok so i cant say a raptor wouldnt scare me but you saw you wouldnt be scared being in the jungle and not hearing a thing then all the sudden a tiger jumps outta the brush and slay you.
Tiger: growl!
Me: mister tiger look this Allosaurus claw
Tiger:growl?
Me: don't worry I said the same thing the first time but they are extint now so you can eat me at least you are not that giant dinosaur
Zevon wonder raptors were able to do the same as tiger but even worse, that's why they were called raptors, they were god level in sneaking attacks
Yes, I do agree but I was just saying this bc you mentioned there is no need to be scared of a Lion, Tiger or Bear. But now that Raptors are extinct *or so we think ;)* we have to be worried about Bears, Lions, and Tigers. Ps. Tigers have mastered walking in the jungle without being heard AT ALL.
Thank you for this. Please do more of such videos if you can. It is always good to see professionals giving their input on the dinosaurs as seen in movies and the games.
I loooooovvee Raptors since I'm a child. You are so lucky to get to see that and talk to Jim in person. Pure envy from my side here.
absolutely fascinating! Dinosaurs are such amazing creatures and seeing fossils has always amazed me
I dig the use of Chaos Continues music.
thats what it waaaas. was thinking about the first one for snes or the ps1 lost world game. thx :D
In defence of the Jurassic Park franchise, when the book and movie first came out it was very accurate with what science knew at the time, and changed the view of many people on dinosaurs like the t-rex posture and the inteligence. But as science marched on, they had an established image they could hardly move away from. I still wish they would add more feathers and all. But yeah when it came out it was as accurate as could be in a movie
Olivia Williams well to some extent. They they already knew that raptors couldn't pronate their hands in that way and the dillo was purer artistic interpretation. But Jurassic park was the first dinosaur media to portray them as active and warm blooded and at least mention their relationship with birds. So i give credit for that
The novel/movie Velociraptor was based on Deinonychus, but was called Velociraptor because the name is catchier. It notably lacks the distinctive long and thin skull of Velociraptor.
That does make one thing kind of funny: Deinonychus was about the size of the movie's Dilophosaurus, while Dilophosaurus was about the size of the movie's Velociraptor.
MWSin1 the reason why it was called velociraptor instead of deinonychus is because in the 70s some paleontologist thought that they were the same genus. We know that's not true now. In fact we knew when the film came out but as you said they went with velociraptor because it sounded better.
Jurassic Park was a victim of its own success.
Olivia Williams true I guess
Totally digging the Jurassic Park II game music in the background about halfway through. My brother and I used to play that game all the time when we were growing up.
I live in Utah and when we were building our house we were digging for the basement and we found about the top third of the piece of the Utah raptors left site of the snout don’t believe me ask them
