The Last American Titan
Вставка

- In the middle of the Cretaceous, the sauropods disappeared from North America. It would take more than 30 million years for another to rise, the last of their proud lineage in North America.
This is Alamosaurus. This is the Last American Titan.
This is our 250k and 300k special! Thank you all so much for helping me get to this point, and I hope you know how much I appreciate every single one of you. Enjoy!
I do not own any artwork/images in this video.
T. Rex: Look! A shooting star! Make a wish!
Alamosaurus: **staring intensifies**

T. Rex: "I'M THE UNDISPUTED KING OF AMERICA! WHO WANTS TO CHALLENGE ME?!"
Alamosaurus: *starts playing boss music*
Alamosaurus: T. rex....ACKNOWLEGDE ME!
Technically, King of *insert ecosystem here* refers to apex predators.
@@jeffreygao3956 Ah. But Emperors outrank kings. Therefore, Alamosaurus would be the emperor of the ecosystem, thus outranking Rex.
@@rhedosaurus2251 Hm. I guess the British missed the memo when they clashed with Japan in the Pacific theatre.
@@rhedosaurus2251 T Rex: OK!
* Pulverises the throat *
The Sauropod: *Fcking dies*
I love that I'm seeing this video the very same day I went to a museum and saw an alamosaurus skeleton. The size really is impossible to imagine without seeing it first hand.
What museum was the Alamosaurus skeleton located?
@@Azureblue25 the perot museum in dallas
I don't understand why people think carnivores could solo a sauropod, baffles me
Because lots of people get their dinosaur facts from Jurassic Park/World and don’t realize their mistakes
Probably only the carcharodontosauridae can solo a sauropod, since they are design to do such
they hunt in packs
Depends on the sauropod
Exactly! It's pretty much the equivalent of a lion or a tiger taking on a full-grown elephant. 🤦♂
My absolute favourite sauropod. Thank you so much for doing a video on it!

There were many dinos that trex fears like triceratops, and ankylosaures but this titan of the cretaceous put a trex in the shoes of what it is like to be small
Most Dinosaurs were sub-adults (And are always the most abundant fossils) and died before adulthood
Its extremely likely that nearly all Sub-adult alamosaurus deaths were caused by the Tyrannosaurus and even sub-adult tyrannosaurus
So I wouldn't exactly say what you said lol, but the adults sure ig
Avoiding them or not wanting to fight them face to face doesn't mean that It feared them
@@gonzacabro1126 it avoided them because it had no chance of winning and why tf u are stanning over a dino ? IT'S A DINO NOT A MOVIE CAHARACTER.
Stop the cringe i am fed up of these things.
@@TouchMeIfYouCan007Way more cringe is your comment LMAO! I literally did not say anything about what you said yet you claim so, and heck, you even dare to say that I am the one who is cringe here? Kid, you seriously are just sad lol

I love how over the years more evidence has come of an interchange between South and North America,a glimpse into what Laurasia-Gondwana interactions may have been like have it not been for the K-PG impact.Thanks for making a video on one of my favorite Sauropods,a standout animal in a group I already hold close to my heart,good job!
Makes me wonder how Gondwana non avian dinosaurs would have adapted with the new arrivals from Laurasia
I'm especially interested in the competition between Abelisaurids and Megaraptorans against Tyrannosaurids@@lightman3581
Hadrosaurs and Nodosaurs came to South America, like Secernosaurus and Patagopelta
This makes the GABI during the Pliocene feel not as special or unique, since the Americas had faunal interchanges long before that.
I love that ending shot of Mark Witton's work, it's so pretty
I find it interesting that Quetzalcoatlus and Alamosaurus inhabited the same region, because that could hint at sauropod hatchlings being a perfect food source for those terrestrial hunting azdarchids
Alamosaurus is one of my favorite sauropods! Thank you for reviewing this titan!
What a great video about the story of my favorite sauropod of all time, can't wait for more of this long-form stuff, because this is fantastic!

@@xNotShady No, I'm from Europe.
@@Doomguyhunter1 favorite just looks weird 😂, we like our u's here lmao
Ya think for your next video could you talk about Tyrannosaur diversity as well as the differences between the species & some of their uniquenesses? I'm always surprised by how many rexes are discovered in both North America, Europe and Asia.
I hope sauropods like this would get more attention honestly, they are so diverse
how did you type this 14 hours before the video came out?
The video was in premiere. U could chat here before the video premierd@@joema500
@@joema500It's a premiere meaning people can still say about the video before it starts

Thank you Dinofax for making more Dino content 🦕🔥 sauropods are my favorite
Remember the Alamosaurus
I make no apologies for this pun.
Bravo. Give yourself apatosaurus on the back.
0:18 the flute in the bg music fits so perfectly in this segment
Very interesting! Congratulations on reaching 313K. And thank you so much! 🥳
11:00 I drew a Barinasuchus eating a dead Perucetus in one of my sketchbooks inspired by a bunch of polar bears eating a bowhead whale carcass I had seen in a documentary.
Your shorts on tictoc got me back into dinosaurs after years! Sauropods have always had a special place in my heart, so learning about them again is really special to me!
during the last stage of the Cretaceous the interior seaway was cut in half and was a fraction of the size your showing. The northern half ended at North Dakota Hell Creak
I would honestly love a video about the fauna of Paleocene . It’s a very interesting time on earths history with some truly bizarre creatures. There is also not much content from it on media so I believe many people will appreciate it 👍.
..WRITING...NARRATION..EDITING
... your channel is definitely in the top 5 of Dino content ...longer videos are the best...MUCH LUV FROM N.AUGUSTA S.C
The last titan out of a titanic family. I can only imagine the fear the tyrannosaurs had if they dared tried to kill one of them. And they’re supposed to be the kings 😅.
Still, one of my personal favorite sauropods. And I didn’t know they had armor until recently…
I love sauropods they are my favourite
Thank you for this video
I saw this picture you included and it reminded me of an argent and amarga migration I participated in, in a Path of Titans server called “Velocci’s realm”, I even see a amarg that looks like it has a similar skin to my skin that I used during the event. Could you tell me where you got the screenshot from? It would be really cool to know that I was in a picture you used in one of your videos! Here’s the time stamp: 5:47
Yes, Tyrannosaurus could reach as far as south into Texas, but not time traver back 2 million years into past since those tyrannosaurid fossils similar to Tyrannosaurus are 2 million years older than oldest Tyrannosaurus and if i remember correctly, were kinda similar to those of Daspletosaurus
(Thats in case if we both talked about "Alamotyrannus")
If I remember right, "Alamotyrannus" was similar in size to Tyrannosaurus rex. Maybe it had evolved specifically to take on Alamosaurus and followed a slightly different body plan to most other tyrannosaurs of its time?
Alamotyrannus? Goddamn how many Tyrannosaurus are there?
@@kylefessenden3111Alamotyrannus should be about same size as smallest specimens of Tyrannosaurus (talking about full grown adults (so around 11.5 meters)) but was probably also lighter (you know, if you live with sauropods (its kinda paradox) you need to be fast if you wanna hunt them)
You know, when you break bones like Tyrannosaurus and live in environment with sauropods larger than you, they gonna fall on you if you break their legs, carcharodontosaurids are for this much better: they are faster and bleed out larger prey
@@nono9543there should be probably around 16 tyrannosaurids known to us (counting both described and undescribed) which were not few but next to other families of large theropods isnt alot either
@@nono9543tyrannosaurids*
I got an idea: every time an animal had it's name stolen by a bug. Like Titanopteryx was going to be used for a pterosaur but stolen by a fly. Syntarsus was going to be used for a Coelophysis but stolen by a beetle.
Can't wait i love you channel ❤️
I'm in love with this Video cuz not Only It's a Long Video about 1 Animal but that 1 Animal is my Favorite Titanosaur
I wanna discuss more on Kritosaurus, Hadrosaurus & Edmontosaurus in their respective habitats
I enjoy your TikTok videos and once I seen your UA-cam channel I like your passionate delivery of the dinosaurs.
Something I remember is this scene In walking with dinosaurs where the narrator said insects like dragon flies would use the dinosaurs as gigantic feeding platforms. While the show is outdated the idea that predatory insects would use dinosaurs as feeding platforms makes a bit of sense.
A giant creature like a sauropod or tyrannosaur for example would be a magnet for parasites like mosquitoes and ticks. Thus it would make sense that insects like dragon flies would take full advantage of this situation to feed on said parasites.
definition of gentle giant
Alamosaurus:Its time to make America better!
Camarasaurus:USELESS USELESS USELESS X999
Alamosaurus:Standing here I realise
makes you wonder what sauropods would be like if dinosaurs didn't go extinct
Awesome video as always. Would you be willing to cover the fauna of late Cretacious Appalachia?
The fossil record is much sparser either due to less favorable conditions for fossilization or the fact that eastern North America is more covered in forest, farmland and human infrastructure. That being said I'd love to see a video on it too.
Great series, glad we got details on this sauropod. We would like to see your real face.
@TheDinoFax love the videos, not fussy on what you do next I've enjoyed all your videos......... I know it doesn't help you with what to next but I thought I'd said it anyway keep up the good work
This is my favorite sauropod and I believe this is the only vid on UA-cam dedicated to it
Alamosaurus would smash all the therapods easily.
Do a video about ceratopsians especially about the least known/underrated species, the ones with weird or interesting facts, and of course which species were the largest
Great video! Can you make a video about the cave lion
I love your videos😊
I like to think huge theropods would have taken down juvenile and sick sauropods. Mike
If I had a pet alamosaurus I'd name it David Crockett or James bowie lol
I would love to watch a dinosaur movie where the T.Rex rule the land of North America... until the arrival of the Alamosaurus changes everything and incites a war. The Last War.
Lol
I just saw prehistoric planet say differently listing them at 100 feet long and over 80 tons.
CAN NOT WAIT TO HEAR ABOUT IT NICE WORK MATE VERY NICE WORK
You're 9th
Awesome video!!! Also I subbed :) I also have a theory that Tyrannosaurus might of won in fights against Triceratops 86% of the time, mainly because of the fact that Trex was very very intelligent and has the Ability to shread off bones, it would have likely gone for the Trike's horns, then when the Triceratops was distracted by wailing in pain, the Trex would take this moment to strike for the Trike's neck to end the fight, but that's my theory
Meanwhile trike pretty agile and impales rex most of time
This is great, can you do a video on the current theory of how the Stegosauridea were drove into extinction in Laramidia.
Very cool dinosaur, ty 💪
Well, that was fun. Thanks!
What I think cased the North American Sauropod gap was the formation of the western interior seaway & the cooling climate. There was a study that shows Sauropods could not handle cold climates very well & we know North American was experiencing a cooling trend around the time they disappeared. And to add to it Alamosaurus seem to show up when the North America was experiencing a brief warming trend at the end of the Cretaceous.
Truly the REAL Kings and Queens of the Mesozoic
Eotriceritops didn’t coexist with alamosaurus it died out 68 mya with albertosaurus
Perhaps in the southern half of North America there was a sub species of T rex or a unrelated species of tyrannosaur that adapted to be more of a sauropod specialist
Dinosaurs are beautiful ❤❤❤❤
Alamosaurus, Zhunchengtitan, Nullotitan, Isisaurus, Nemegtosaurus and/or Opisthocoelicaudia and Ampelosaurus are proof that big sauropods were doing great during the Campanian and Maastrichtian.
Here’s an interesting one, could you do the Pterosaur Cyncorhamphus!
It’s hard to believe that with animals this unbelievably massive in the time of giants.. It’s our blue of today whale that is still the biggest animal we know in existence.
Hey man, can you do one on the patagotitan next
Alamosaurus is a cool dinosaur
This was great. When I was a kid, all the dinosaur books and info were adamant about the extinction of sauropods happening during the Jurassic. It never seemed plausible to me even as a kid in the 60’s and 70’s. Now, I find that there were sauropod specimens that were very much Cretaceous in time placement. I know it’s old news, we’ve known for decades that sauropods persisted right up to the K-T event. But dinosaurs were still backwater science when I was growing up and, until the last 20 years, remained a red headed stepchild. No offense to gingers…..Glad the science is exactly that.
Do you think you could do video on Triceratops and their family origins?
You should do one about Mapi the megaraptid
A.k.a. the real life night feeder
I would love to see more videos about preistoric crocodiles
One of the largest land animals ever to walk the Earth

Actually, the Cretaceous Period has three epochs: the Early Cretaceous (Berriasian, Valanginian, Haiterivian, and Barremian), the Mid Cretaceous (Aptian, Albian, Cenomanian, and Turonian), and the Late Cretaceous (Coniacian, Santonian, Campanian, and Maastrichtian).
Please cover more prehistoric felines, canines, bears, and Man thanks
“Biggest land animals that we know of” makes you wonder what would be bigger than sauropods
nice video
Honestly you should do more fauna type of video
What species of Sauropods Vanished from North America between the early Cretaceous and early late Cretaceous Periods?!
Holy crap prehistoric plant season 3 needs to cover migration and it shows the alamosaurus swimming from South America (gondwana ) 2 North America!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
God said no more sauropods. Alamosaurus said nah
Even god had a soft spot for sauropods
"NO MORE SAUROPODS!!"

There was an alamosaurus found in texas in 2020 i believe that was estimated to be 49 meters and thats an insane size estimate for something that was alive at one point. Thats 160 feet for people too lazy to look up the conversions and close to 90 tons
Bro, wdym? Alamosaurus isn't even close. The last American titan is the infamous Caseoh.
Do a video about the dinosaurs from Ice Age 3
This music sounds like godspeed you black emperor
Were there any sauropods in the north or south pole
Saurapods were so diverse there saurapods like margyasaurs to supersasaiurs
How the hell is this not the Texas state dino??
I'm upset we don't see this sauropod in Jurassic Park or World or in the games. Like the heck? It's literally a skeleton in the Visitor Center with the T-Rex and yet we have a T-Rex.
Ikr, that’s something I used to think about regarding Jurassic World Dominion, Alamosaurus should’ve been the Titanosaurid they used for the movie instead of Dreadnoughtus, not only did an Alamosaurus skeleton appear in the visitor in the 1st Jurassic movie but it also would’ve made the Jurassic World Dominion prologue more paleontologically accurate because it takes place in North America 66-65 million years ago, the only inaccuracy I tolerate with the prologue is the Giganotosaurus because it was meant to set up the rivalry between Rexy and the Giga later in the movie.
If I could remake the JWD prologue, I’d keep Rexy, Giganotosaurus, Ankylosaurus, Quetzalcoatlus and Pteranodon, and replace Dreadnoughtus, Iguanodon, Oviraptor and Nasutoceratops with Alamosaurus, Edmontosaurus, Struthiomimus (covered in feathers) and Triceratops and I’d also add in Thescelosaurus, Pachycephalosaurus and Dakotaraptor to make it feel more diverse.
@@Azureblue25 agreed
@@Azureblue25I hope we see them in the new show or movies.
Jurassic world evolution two has it
@@M1N1moloYup that’s true, at least we have Alamosaurus in that game, I personally think it’s one of the best sauropod designs in the entire game.
REALLY big boi
Yo wouldn’t be cool to see a group of rexs taking on one of these?
Can you make a full length video on carnivores dinosaur hunter or ice age
