Patch 4.5 Billion (Released: 21 February 2023) - Nerfed dunkleosteus size by 50% - Nerfed dunkleosteus health by 50% - Added goldfish skin to dunkleosteus
The funniest part, imo, is that with the way its body proportions are set up now it is much more akin to fish like a largemouth bass in terms of proportions. That being said, with proportions like that, along with the new reconstructions could show us that their bite force was actually stronger due to having more muscles focused solely on their head.
we're only average 5.5-6ft (180cm), ain't no way a dunkleosteus can't eat entire, or they can just hang us at the branch for tomorrow bruh Edit: I'm just typo, I mean the most tallest person is probably at 8ft. Wahh, now I can rest in peace..
@@EeveelutionStorm around 20 years ago palaeontologists believed that the known fossils of Liopleurodon were from juveniles, leading them to believe that adult specimens would be around 20-25 meters long. After new studies it was revealed that the "juvenile" specimen, was actually an adult individual, with more reasonable estimates of 7 meters. This year (last week) new studies on Dunkleosteus reduced its size estimates from around 6-10 meters to 3-4 meters long.
@@EeveelutionStorm Not necessarily. Also, Liopleurodon and Dunkleosteus aren't dinosaurs. Studies show that most large theropods were much larger than previously thougth (in animals, size is determined by weight/mass). Tyrannosaurus for example was thougth to reach about 7 tonnes in the 90s and early 2000s, but we now know that it could reach up to 10 tonnes. Palaeontology is an ever changing science. The more we discover, the more we know about these animals. And some things can change. The most important thing to remember, is that palaeontology is not guess work. Palaeontologist study alot to try to understand these magnificent animals. Sometimes, mistakes are made, when there's not enough evidence to clearly understand how the animal look.
@@chingyik123 The largest complete specimen was estimated at 3.6 by the paper. An isolated jaw was estimated to have belonged to a 4.1 metre individual. The estimate you are using seems to be the one by Fabio Alejandro using largely the same body as the paper but with a tail length based on Coccosteus and Amazichthys, which I personally agree with. Both of the previously stated specimens belong to D. terreli. There are far more (around ten I believe) species of Dunkleosteus, including the metre long D. Raveri
For anyone that's seen the "Ed, Edd n Eddy" episode with the rocket car, that's all I could think of with Dunkle's new body. Ed: It's too small. Edd: 'Small? Please, Ed. It's compact.' Seriously though, this is an intriguing new fact.
best part is, even though dunkles size has been reduced, bite force estimates have stayed the same. a 4 meter long dunkle has the same bite force as a 10 meter long one.
Funny thing is, it actually may have increased. Less length=less muscles in the rear of the animal, and more room to reinforce the front. Based on the new model, estimates show their biteforce may be up to 20% stronger
Paleontology is an… interesting science. It can be amazing and enlightening, but then you also have stuff like this, lol. It’s gonna take a while to get used to a dwarf Dunkleosteus (although 13 ft. is still pretty large), but I’ll take scientific accuracy any day.
Yeah twice the length of the average adult height, an apex predator, an incredibly strong bite, self sharpening blades of bone and dentine. That sure sounds pet friendly.
I find it funny how he can have a humor like this one video but then in the next he’s like “this is one the most dangerous dinosaurs on the planet” and then goes on to thoroughly explain how it could rip you to shreds. 😂
It’s pretty surprising seeing this change, since I wasn’t expecting it at all. But Regardless of the size change or how its depictions have changed, the Dunkleosteus is still one of my favorite marine creatures of prehistory/all time. It was still a predatory fish with a powerful bite force, something that you would not want to come across in the ocean.
The sharpedo one got me 💀💀💀 and also this is my first video watching you laugh and I love it man 😁. Keep up the dino entertainment man your doing great!!!
Such mixed reactions and portrayal of excitement in the voice of the narrator...!!! Seems like...an episode of Tom and Jerry...where both have accomplished a space mission or an underwater expedition in search of the specimen
First the Liopleurodon, now the Dunkleosteus. Why must I still live to see my favourite aquatic marine predators get shrunk from their Walking With sizes?! Why am I still here? Just to suffer?
To people who think Dunkleosteus is no longer OP, I think we should be reminded that this is now Less Longer, which is harder to hit. And what if it's gonna be faster? If not, it can still Bite you through Like Scissors, and being Smaller is way harder to spot far or dark or if it's camouflaging or something. Yes I know it ain't smart, but there are also people that's less smarter than a Goldfish.
Idk why, but I kind of like this version of dunk more, I mean just the thought of a small chunky fish being this vicious prehistoric predator is amazing
Patch 4.5 Billion

@@TheDinoFax I wonder if other animals lived in the Devonian (I think that’s where dunk lived) and were able to fight or even hunt it
I want to complain to the devs
They did bro dirty with the goldfish skin💀🤣🤣🤣
I love that our dino guy went from his normal teaching tone to a relaxed giggly guss and I am here for it
A freaking goldfish 💀👍 Yeah, we all know he did him dirty for real (▀̿Ĺ̯▀̿ ̿)ᶠᵒʳ ʳᵉᵃˡ
That skin costs 3,000 points
The other one looked like the body of a sun fish💀💀
@seadoggo567 Bonjour
Bro went from badass fish that can bite your head off to an oversized chiwawa that bites ur ankles
Chiwawa’s gonna have a much harder time amputating your limbs though 👀 Dunk still has that going for it
I mean it’s still a giant
Look at it it’s large shark size
It would still be able to bite your head off.
it a big piranha that gonna bite your little fingers while you sleeping because you misbehaved
One of the saddest days in the paleontology community
Fr
😢
Fax
alongside the execution of kronosaurus
Even sadder than Pluto not being a called planet no more
I don't like how some people act like the Dunkleosteus still couldn't eat an entire half off your body
The only thing this changes about Dunkleosteus is its now got a tighter turning circle.
I know, the thing is still 13 feet.

@@mr.google7364 there's only ever been one or two people that reached 8ft and that was because they had gigantism
The Dunk has shrunk, he has now become chunk.
Chunky boi
The Tullymonster is a riddle, and has played the scientists like a fiddle
If these replies aren’t prehistoric rhymes, a cryolophosaurus will cry.
El chunko the Dunko
Chunkleosteus
Bro went from a Garchomp to a Sharpedo in the funniest way posible.
fr tho lmao
ignoring dracovish's existence now are we?
Nah its now Alomomola

Laughs in *Mega sharpedo with avalanche*
A day of silence for our Dunky Boi...

A whole day??

@@tusharroymukherjee3370 hell he probably deserves an entire month
the sunfish dunk tho 💀💀
Poor dunkle, was up there as one of history's most renowned marine predators, and then it got that liopleurodon reality check
It's still an apex predator that could bite a human in half.
The WHAT!? I'm screaming, tell me more!

hearing him laugh just fills me with joy
Yes!!! Instant dopamine boom 😂😂😂
I wish we could just see what they actually looked like
Bro this has to be the first time i wver heard TheDinoFax laugh
But the sunfish dunkleosteus is brilliant!
I cannot believe this hasn't caught the attention of Luke's Goldie's yet-
This is probably one of the best paleo memes to come in a long while lmao
We need him to name one of his goldfish "The Dunk" now. Go, go, GO
Brilliant
this is the first time we see DinoFax laughing
Bro shrunk to dolphin size 💀
Like a really really big dolphin
The picture that was shown is wrong it was dwarf yes but they are bigger than the the great white just smaller then before🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓
Dino found that Goldfish one so funny he laughed in fluent Dolphin 🤣💀
They nerfed my boy 😭
nah bro was nerfed on release we just never realized
I think dunkelesteus still a dangerous predator
This is nothing. Remember liopluerodon :(
@@VelociraptorWithInternet FR
Why WWD
WHY!!!
Still more than capable of getting its own episode of river monsters
Heck yeah the a pro in the cons that cons aren’t really that bad anyway
Yeah, that's what I was thinking. 13 1/2 feet is nothing at all to scoff at. If I ever saw a fish that size no one would believe me lol.
"Just 4 meter"
Yeah "just"
So Primal got their size more accurate, that’s funny
primal just turned dunkleosteus into mahi mahi💀
No. 3.6 metres (largest complete specimen) is far from small enough to fit in a tyrannosaurus's jaws.
Even before the shrink there was a species of dunk, D. raveri, that was a metre in length.
@@trilobite3120 nah it is 4.5 meter max

DinoFax laughing is something I never knew I needed😂
It's a cleaver-faced tuna from hell now. Still pretty scary.

Ed: It's too small.
Edd: 'Small? Please, Ed. It's compact.'
Seriously though, this is an intriguing new fact.
To be fair to the Dunk it would still be one of the most terrifying fish to encounter if it was alive today.
I love when dunkleosteus said “It’s Dunkin’ time” and dunked on those sharks
Truly a moment in the Devonian
i need dunkleosteus sharpedo in my life
Seeing Dino laughing just made my day better
I don’t know why…
bullet bill comparison is probably my favourite
Dunkleosteus: How could they do this to me!
Liopleurodon: ... first time.

Hes having the best time with tgese memes. Good for you brother. Good for you.
Even with "just 4 meters", it's still a terrifying creature and it would eat humans!
Imagine if Schleich toys made Dunkleosteus smaller too , that would be too good 🤣
Hearing you lose it laughing is something I didn't know I needed to hear, truly amazing XD
Me watching as dunkleosteus' size shrinks to 1 cm in length
Dunkleosteus before: *Huge, nightmarish fish*
Dunkleosteus now: *Smol, nightmarishly adorable fish*
"My goldfish don't bite."
The goldfish:
Truly a Chunky Dunkie moment
He went from a monster to a prehistoric goldfish
Every year, dunk becomes more closer to becoming a large species of goldfish.
From Dunk to Dank
The most fearsome fish into most pet friendly
Yeah twice the length of the average adult height, an apex predator, an incredibly strong bite, self sharpening blades of bone and dentine. That sure sounds pet friendly.

Dunkleosteus: it's becoming extremely obvious I can't deny it no longer! I am small... Got me 🤣
Idk why but I loved seeing you lose your composure and laugh. Really did me some good. I like seeing people happy.
Bro went from won of the battery creatures ever to looking like a giant nemo
I love this new reconstruction of Dunkleosteus . It looks both awesome and adorable ^^
You also have a sweet laugh .
Hungry shark's dunk be like
I pretend I didn't see that
Up next, Megalodons were the size of VW Beetle, and were built pretty much like frogs as well.
Megalodon was actually two feet long and used its single tooth to shovel molluscs out of the seabed.
this aged well since megalodon got bigger
Irl:dunk😊
Hungry shark:dunk 💀
It went from being the greatest prehistoric fish of all time, large boy of the seas, to a fucking sunfish.
The gold fish got me harder than expected (ﾉ≧∇≦)ﾉ ﾐ ┻━┻
Don't worry dunkleosteus, you're still my favorite dinosaur.
How DARE THEY SLANDER MY BOY!!
It’s pretty surprising seeing this change, since I wasn’t expecting it at all. But Regardless of the size change or how its depictions have changed, the Dunkleosteus is still one of my favorite marine creatures of prehistory/all time. It was still a predatory fish with a powerful bite force, something that you would not want to come across in the ocean.
All hail the chunkleosteus
The sunfish dunkleosteus image, at least a different one, predates this discovery
Sunfish + Dunk = Sharpedo.
Enough said.
More like Dunkfish
How did we not hear you laugh, it just made my day, it stands out like the KSI laugh
Let’s be honest, we still would not want to be in the ocean with that thing. I don’t care if it’s only 13 1/2 feet instead 16 to 33
Exactly.
Yes
We need different scientists. New scientists.
I don't care. It's still horrifying.
The sharpedo one got me 💀💀💀 and also this is my first video watching you laugh and I love it man 😁. Keep up the dino entertainment man your doing great!!!
The old giant goldfish pet if you're lucky you will find a shiny LOL
The terror of the Devonian, the scourge of the ancient seas, shrunk to the size of a dolphin. Unacceptable.
Such mixed reactions and portrayal of excitement in the voice of the narrator...!!!
Seems like...an episode of Tom and Jerry...where both have accomplished a space mission or an underwater expedition in search of the specimen
Your laugh just made it better XD
Atleast spino is still big and scary and still resembles a dinosaur, dunky just became a level 100 tuna
Hearing you lose it at the memes was as entertaining as the memes themselves
Now it's like a grouper. Which is still scary, but not as the previous mini-armored Megalodon.
First the Liopleurodon, now the Dunkleosteus. Why must I still live to see my favourite aquatic marine predators get shrunk from their Walking With sizes?! Why am I still here? Just to suffer?
Pro Spongebob meme usage 👌🏼

Glad to see I wasn't the only one who thought the new reconstruction looked like the spicy version of those chubby goldfish.
Honestly it still looks terrifying. Small or not thats still pretty decently sized compared to a human.
Lmao the sun fish skin to gold fish skin, perfect back to back combo 👌
The Prehistoric Armour Fish, Dunk
Sad moment, but not as sad as the Liopleurodon’s size decrease
That intro killed me
Bro became a Goldfish ☠️💀
Bro has one of the most devious laugh's I've ever heard
13ft is pretty big
you wouldnt call a 13ft alligator tiny
but hey, all guys like to add an extra two or three inches
God I love his laugh, please laugh more often
Yall acting like 13 feet of armored fish isnt still terrifying
He's smaller now... but could still tear me to shreads, so it's fine, Dunk
The aftermath of being in a tom and Jerry cartoon.
When the prehistoric era looking more and more like pokemon
It would still fuck a person up! Though I'll admit it is gonna be weird to get used to.
0:39 My pet goldfish from 7 years ago:
“Hey man, thought I was dead?”
The thing about this is, The skull is still the same size. Bro could still very easily bite you in half and remains a swimming bear trap.
Still that’s pretty scary if you saw it underwater
turns out that sea beast is " Sheldon H. Plankton" 🤣🤣🤣
Kinda makes it more terrifying. Like a oversized Pirhana of doom.
Dunks are now ancient sea bulldogs and no one can convince me otherwise
The meme at the start is to good it’s just halarious 😂
I love hearing him laugh :D
Bro looks like the evolved form of relicanth
