when it comes to inacurate reconstructions I am in the "why not both" camp and I make fictional populations of Spinosaurus Hamundi living at the same time as Spinosaurus Egypticus. One a massive apex predator of the rivers and the other a coastal fisherman. They never encountered each other because Hamundi was competing with both terestrial theropods and crocodiles for food so tended to stay in the wider parts of the rivers where there's enough space to coexist with crocodiles and less likelyhood of running into terestrial theropods while moving ashore. Hamundi continued into the cretaceous where they briefly competed with tyranosaurus. Hamundi was forced out of it's natural habitat and was not suited to the teretrial style of hunting so it mostly tried to steal kills from smaller theropods, losing these fights more often than not and going extinct long before the mass exinction. actually probably would have been Suchomimus Hamundi because that's a more similar creature to relate it to.
@@-aureum- Sadly we're in an age where being right is more apealing than being fun and the best way to be right is scientific facts and nothing creative at all. Even fantasy is trying to avoid anything that could potentially be disagreed with.
@lexibyday9504 totally true and it does suck! It's okay for something to be totally out of the realm of reality, but since it's risky, no one wants to try because potentially lower profit (speaking on large corporations, inde projects often are very good with this stuff!)
@@Roar8384 Very fair! Current paleontology breakthroughs blow my mind with what they are able to discover, so imagine what they can do with new technology or techniques in 10, 15 years!
Yay spino!!! I love the garial bird dino man I wonder what environments or scenes would look like in your style. QUESTION: What are those dots by the eyes on all of your illustrations? Are they just parts of the eyelid? They look a little large to be the corner of the eye. Just curious
If you're referring to the top 'chunk' that is colored rather than just line art dots, it's kind of...eyebrows? I don't know how to explain it but I started doing it for all my drawings to help with expressions and it fit with the more cartoonish style! I'll have to try drawing some environments because I have no idea honestly!
4:54 I don't think this is the case, as we have seen over time, non-avian theropod dinosaurs had a hotter metabolism than reptiles like lizards, but less so than birds, but assuming that Spinosaurus was a hunter on the prowl, and occasionally hunting animals on dry land, he probably wouldn't need a very complex metabolism for tasks like this, at least that's what I think.
My favourite dinosaur, you did them so much justice ♥️
This made my day, thank you!!
I love the goofy spiny boi!!!
Big goofy man!!
my favorite spino is the accurate one. Well as accurate as we can get rn. I prefer it over the sailed suchomimus from JP3.
Very valid! I keep JP dinos almost seperate in my mind as more of movie monsters instead of dinos, that way I can enjoy both!
@-aureum- sort of what I do too really
Amazing work! My favorite dino is an Irritator, so this is pretty cool to watch!
Thanks so much!! I believe I covered Irritator in the Spinosaurid Mega Episode a few weeks back if you're interested ❤️❤️
@@-aureum- You done did got me hooked now, I'm on my way! o7
ITS THE CROCODUCK!!!!! 🐊🦆
Officially calling it this from now on!!

Honestly I'm so here for that. I love JP movies even though they aren't accurate because that's what we have documentaries for, so why not both!?

My mind is telling me we are close to what Spinosaurus really looked like…
@@Roar8384 but will we know that we know? 🤔🤔🤔
@@-aureum- something strange and unlike any animal was ever was before I’m guessing

awesome work but spinosaurus actually has its nostrils up more! :D
Y'know what, that's very fair considering the semi-aquatic lifestyle, should have been placed more like a croc's, thanks for the correction!!
Yay! Another long video! It is great to see your channel growing! Keep up the amazing videos!
Thank you so much!! I really like this balance with weekly shorter videos and some longer videos, it lets me ramble a bit haha!

That totally tracks, thanks for the correction!
@@-aureum- I don't know if it would be a correction since in science every idea is valid until proven otherwise, but thank you for responding.
@alekrex5905 either way I appreciate your input greatly!!
Wow! Just found this channel and I love it!
Thank you so much!! Welcome!
