I know that always comparing with t rex can be annoying, but what do you expect? Larger than carcharadontosaurus? Normal people doesn't know sh*t about dinosaurs, it's the only one they can think of, helps with the audience.
I believe that there are four ages of dinosaur depictions: 1. Slow, unintelligent, tail dragging, cold-blooded reptiles like you would see in retro paleoart. 2. Fast, active, deadly action movie monsters like in Jurassic World and Jurassic Fight Club. 3. Depictions that are actively trying to challenge the norm like fluffy T. rex and knuckle-walking Spinosaurus. 4. The most accurate ones at the time that behave like real animals like in Prehistoric Planet and Kingdom.
I always wondered why scientists thought spino could not walk on two legs when the whole reason extinct theropods had such long tails was to counterbalance their immense weight in the front of their body.
It kinda reminded me how the hybrid theropods from the Jurassic world franchise can stand/walk/run on all fours even though they’re mashups of real bipedal theropods.
@@catpoke9557 “immense weight” the spinosausus had a narrow flattened and thin body with very short legs compared to Tyrannosaurus rex was a TANK(powerhouse)
I think there could be a cool documentary called something like "what the hell is Spinosaurus?" And it follows the constant changes of Spinosaurus, from Stromer's kangaroo-spino, to the fish eating, bipedal, tail-sail spino of 2022
*Long (Outdated) Theory Warning* It is possible that Spinosaurus could have used its paddle tail to help it chase after prey. However, my alternative theory is that the tail may have evolved to help it swim more efficiently to traverse its wetland environment without being directly intended for predation. While I believe Spinosaurus could and would swim after slower aquatic prey (mainly fish), I think it would have preferred to hunt its prey on the shoreline using the wading method used by herons, with the intent to save energy. Since spinosaurus was a massive animal that sustained itself off prey that is small relative to its body size, It would probably be best for spinosaurus to not spend too much energy actively chasing after fish. However, as I stated before, the ability to swim in an environment more efficiently than its contemporaries is still a very useful adaptation, especially for a wetland ecosystem, as spinosaurus would have access to territory, food, and travel routes without having to compete with other terrestrial dinosaurs except for other spinosaurus. A good comparison for this theory would be geese (and hippos, to an extent), as they have evolved to become good swimmers, yet they feed primarily on land; they swim mainly to avoid predators and to establish their own territory, not to eat aquatic food. In conclusion, while I am not claiming the spinosaurus pursuit predator theory is by any means inaccurate, it should be noted that, as with modern animals, not every adaptation of a dinosaur, especially predatory ones, has evolved with the primary intent of killing.
Very well thought out and with my experience sounds not only plausible but very accurate. I’ve been a longtime dinosaur researcher and I’m making a video game with the intent of making accurate animal portrayals and I’ll be keeping this in mind lol
I would recommend checking out the newest paper by Sereno et al titled "Spinosaurus was not an aquatic dinosaur." You can find it for free online with just a google search and at the time I'm writing this comment is the most up to date version of spinosaurus we have. For a few of your points, spinosaurus was definitely NOT a fast swimmer and given its density compared to other secondarily aquatic animals, it couldn't even dive under the surface. Again I'd 100% recommend giving it a read yourself as its not boring in the slightest (if you're into this stuff, which I'm sure you are given the comment as well as video) but just a quick excerpt from the abstract in case you're curious: "That model [the flesh model they recreated for this study] shows that on land S. aegyptiacus was bipedal and in deep water was an unstable, slow-surface swimmer (
@@eewweeppkk I have already, I just didn't get to updating my comment before you replied. Still, Even if it couldn't actually swim well (if at all,) it feeding on aquatic prey was still a useful case of niche partitioning, while I now believe that spino used it's enlarged tail along with its sail and large hand claws for display and to intimidate rivals and potential predators such as carchar, similar to how giant anteaters intimidate predators such as jaguars.
Do "Animal Armagedon" (2009, 2 seasons for 8 episodes) ! It's a dinodoc who depict all the 5 main great extinctions event that Earth has known in History ! With : - Ordovician-Silurian extinction. - Devonian extinction. - Permian-Triassic extinction. - Triassic-Jurassic extinction. - Cretaceous-Tertiary extinction. - Cretaceous-Tertiary extinction. - Toba disaster. - And one dealing with future risks on life on earth after a new KT-type disaster. I see this documentary there a long time, but I clearly remember that was captivating ! Do it please ! This dinodocs deserve truly a check !
One month later: A new analysis indicates that Spinosaurus used its sail and tail together as a wing. Red Raptor: Dang It! my video is already outdated!
Spinosaurus being quadrupedal wasn't that stupid for the time. Besides, it was still a "mediocre walker" which is awful for a terrestrial lifestyle. A semiaquatic ambush predator matches the adaptations best.
I find it mildly annoying whenever someone says "iT's GoNnA bE oUtDaTeD iN a FeW yEaRs AnYwAy". Just... please, stop it people. The more pieces of the puzzle we collect, the better we can infer what the missing ones are like, and the less often we will have to rearrange the ones we have. We are not going to lose that which we already have. The unusual thing about Spino is that we simply found a lot of new pieces of a formerly very incomplete dinosaur in a short amount of time. I'm not saying what we have now is perfect, but any future alterations will likely be smaller details, or concern behaviour and maybe soft tissue rather than the fundamental structure of the animal.
Spinosaurus is that one dinosaur that is like that high school teen who changes its fashion style every time you see him/her. Out of all the dinosaurs we’ve discovered so far, it’s definitely the strangest when it comes to how much it’s scientifically accurate (and by extension, pop culture) depictions have changed.
The environment was a lot different it would’ve been covered in swamps and lakes and rivers and yeah I’m actually surprised that there are lots of predators instead of the herbivores it’s pretty interesting
I remember seeing this on TV, but I only watched it for few minutes before I had to go to school and never watched it again because I didn't know what the documentary was called back then
BTW congrats on 20k subscribers, I am been subscribed since before you even hit a thousand, its been great watching your channel grow, though you are still criminally undersubbed in my opinion.
When the legs were found, it surprised us. The arms haven't been found yet, so I wonder if they'll surprise us as well. Even if its something surprising, I'm pretty sure Spino didn't have winged arms (it was too big to fly and probably didn't have a keel on its sternum).
Gotta love that little Vitruvius scene in this video though; that's considering the general popularity of The Lego Movie in the year this documentary was released.
I do have one other question about Spinosaurus. When the latest size estimate for Spinosaurus yielded a weight of around 7 tons, was that study taking into account the Spino’s relatively high bone density, which was reported in the paper you mentioned? I am curious, because if it turns out that estimate was not taking into account the Spinosaurus’ updated bone density, I wonder if that could make its true weight a little closer to that of T-Rex.

The story of spinosaurus on its own is still something to feel bad about and yet behold, but media seems to twist it the wrong way sometimes like a knife in the gut. It gets old and annoying to the point I just don't bother with TV.
It's true modern Birds are not only relatives (the closest one) of dinosaurs but they are officially and reconized today to be modern dinosaurs too !

This is good information about Spinosaurus. I look forward to seeing future tier list videos. The one I'm looking forward to the most is one on Prehistoric Planet. I'm curious to seeing the Accuracies and Inaccuracies of this famous Dino Doc. I know Prehistoric Planet isn't perfect, because of the inclusion of dinosaurs like Velociraptor (Which went extinct five million years prior).
Well, in reality, there a lot of chance that the genus could managed to survive to the K-T extinction too (which bwt, occured between 66 and 65 millions years. If you consider the Velociraptor case as an abberation, so the declaration that the extinction event happen precisely at 66 millions years is a true dog's shit ! Because that come from only ONE paper who don't take into account all the others numerous studies who always give 65 instead. I can accept that wasn't precisely at this date to the precise second, like one second after "66,999 millions years and 23h59:59" precisely, because that was already quite dum to say toward the public to say 65 only instead of 65, something. But 66 is too exagerated far from 65 to be serious ! A between these two point like somewhere 66, 40 or 50 or 61 millions years ago is more realistic. It's really sad that the scientists themselves Can by as the same level than a regular ape sometime). It's just we havent fond the fossil evidences yet. Also, it's possible than a close relative live in this time. And since this relative should be almost looking similar in physical appearances and behaviors, it's always possible to rename the creature we see on screen (unlike the Gorgosaurus from Walking With Dinosaurs movie de can't rename stupidly Nanuqsaurus, because these two have too many differences physical traits. In fact, resolving innacuraccies problems by only renamed them is not a thing to do. Because most of the time that create more problems than that resolved, in addition to be very lazy in many ways). In fact, they should present Velociraptor as an unknown/unidentified raptor than the genus itself. Like they do for the Troodontid de see during the fire sequence (Troodon or Stenonychosaurus ? Who know !). Like that, you have more freedom in this kind of show !
I am surprised they don’t do a pressure test like they did with T.Rex but for its tail vertebrae to deduce if it’s spines were strong enough to propel it in water or just there for display because that’s a display structure that would be very resource demanding.
According to the newest paper "Spinosarurus was not an aquatic dinosaur" (which actually uses a paper "Evaluating the ecology of Spinosaurus: shoreline generalist or aquatic pursuit specialist?" (Hone and Holtz, 2021)) the tail was much more likely to be a display structure than an aquatic adaptation.
Great review again! I know that you are already way past national geographic documentaries, but since you’ve already reviewed Bizarre dinosaurs and sea monsters 3D, I was hoping if you could go back to review the other ones too, Dino deathtrap, dino autopsy, flying monsters and super t-rex, if you can find them of course. Watched them all many times when I was small, would be nice to hear your thoughts on them too!
A dinosaur documentary you could cover is Britain's Deadliest Prehistoric Predators| Dinosaur Britain. It's by Real Wild and it's free on youtube so you don't have to pay to watch it. By the way, this documentary came out 5 years ago with two 40-minute long episodes, but it was republished a few months ago as 1-hour long movie documentary.
"Surprisingly enough, suchomimus came out as more hollow, adapted to terrestrial life" I would not consider it surprising seeing as how much longer its legs are than spino.
@@dandino8100 you don't need a complete skeleton to know the size of some limbs, we have spino And suchos legs and hip so we can know the size of their legs. And we have 80% of spino skeleton complete the only thing missing is the arms and other small parts that won't change anything.
My take on spinosaurus is that is was mid-transtion when it went extint. If it didn't die off, I feel it would of evolved into something like the mosasaurus. It was developing its arms for a fully, or atleast semi, aquatic lifestyle, leading to the ability to both walk on all fours and on two legs. And it could hunt like a herring bird, but was starting to favor driving for prey.
I think you have a bit of a misunderstanding on evolution long term. Every individual is 'mid-transition', and there is no goal for evolution. Spinosaurus isn't a step on the way to anything, its a spinosaurus. Given the date range we have for it, it was very well suited to doing what it was doing because it stayed the same for a very very long time. Change is driven completely from the environment, so its very possible it would've become more aquatic if there were pressures pushing it away from land (such as competing against carcharodontosaurs) or it possible it would've lost some of its semi-aquatic adaptations and become much more terrestrial if, for example, its environment became less and less suited for semi-aquatic life (such as the marshy environment it usually resided drying up).
Seriously, people need to stop comparing new theropod dinosaurs to T. rex. Every goddamn article about new dinosaur is LITERALLY like: “NEW DINOSAUR BIGGER THAN A TYRANNOSAURUS, AT THE SHOCKING SIZE OF 2 METRES, EATING BABY TYRANNOSAURUS REXES WHICH WE NAMED FROM THE COMPLETE REMAINS OF 3 BONES”
I swear like 4 months from now there's gonna be something new with this confounded thing, like legs large enough to add another 2 tons or something ridiculous like that.
12:54 T-rex: When I was a chick, I ate Mom's dinner scraps every morning to help me get large. But, now that I'm grown, I eat Triceratops, so I'm roughly the size of a barge!
12:48 it’s not correct currently spinosaurus lenght 13,3-14 meters long, carcharadontosaurus lenght 12,1 meters long, giganotosaurus 12,5-13 meters long compared to Tyrannosaurus rex lenght 12-13 meters long, the ONLY one that slightly exceeds it in length is the spinosaurus.
Even if the centre of mass is near the hind legs... that still doesn't mean it's spine could have supported such a long large bulk just cantilevering without any support. It would have snapped
remember when this or last year some carcharadontosaur from middle asia was described that shared it's ecosystem with smaller tyrannosaurid and it got clickbaited into TREX KILLER also Walking with Cavemen and Mammoth Titan of the Ice Age?
Is it okay that one documentary you review is the documentary called the mystery dinosaur. It is a documentary that is primarily about the nannotyrannus or juvenile rex debate.
Still pretty funny how in a good 2-3 weeks the spinosaurus is gonna get a new rendition But seriously spinosaurus is my favorite despite it constantly going through different renditions
Spinosaurus is like the emperor penguin of the dinosaurs, it like nothing else on the planet today or back when it lived, it went to the water instead of the air or land and look very different then it relatives This is a stupid comparison i know it
as of the 2020s T Rex is back to being the biggest land predator ever, and the new weight estimatesmade it bigger, and the weight estimates of Spinosaurus Giganotosaurus, and Carcharodontosaurus were downsized to more realistic proportions.

I can accept that wasn't precisely at this date to the precise second, like one second after "66,999 millions years and 23h59:59" precisely, because that was already quite dum to say toward the public to say 65 only instead of 65, something. But 66 is too exagerated far from 65 to be serious ! A between these two point like somewhere 66, 40 or 50 or 61 millions years ago is more realistic. It's really sad that the scientists themselves Can by as the same level than a regular ape sometime). It's just we havent fond the fossil evidences yet.
Also, it's possible than a close relative live in this time. And since this relative should be almost looking similar in physical appearances and behaviors, it's always possible to rename the creature we see on screen (unlike the Gorgosaurus from Walking With Dinosaurs movie de can't rename stupidly Nanuqsaurus, because these two have too many differences physical traits. In fact, resolving innacuraccies problems by only renamed them is not a thing to do. Because most of the time that create more problems than that resolved, in addition to be very lazy in many ways).
In fact, they should present Velociraptor as an unknown/unidentified raptor than the genus itself. Like they do for the Troodontid de see during the fire sequence (Troodon or Stenonychosaurus ? Who know !). Like that, you have more freedom in this kind of show !
Hell yeah! Got a red raptor video on my birthday
Out of all the dinosaurs that existed, spinosaurus was definitely one of them.
you got me in the first half as you can tell it is my fav dino
Yes you're right. Spino is truly one of the dinos
I am surprised they don’t do a pressure test like they did with T.Rex but for its tail vertebrae to deduce if it’s spines were strong enough to propel it in water or just there for display because that’s a display structure that would be very resource demanding.
According to the newest paper "Spinosarurus was not an aquatic dinosaur" (which actually uses a paper "Evaluating the ecology of Spinosaurus: shoreline generalist or aquatic pursuit specialist?" (Hone and Holtz, 2021)) the tail was much more likely to be a display structure than an aquatic adaptation.
Great review again! I know that you are already way past national geographic documentaries, but since you’ve already reviewed Bizarre dinosaurs and sea monsters 3D, I was hoping if you could go back to review the other ones too, Dino deathtrap, dino autopsy, flying monsters and super t-rex, if you can find them of course. Watched them all many times when I was small, would be nice to hear your thoughts on them too!
I love how our view spinosaurus has shifted so much over such little time that like we can only really confirm spinosaurus existed
The media; "Latest discovery, an aquatic predator that was bigger than T Rex!" Sperm Whale; "Hold my beer."
A dinosaur documentary you could cover is Britain's Deadliest Prehistoric Predators| Dinosaur Britain. It's by Real Wild and it's free on youtube so you don't have to pay to watch it. By the way, this documentary came out 5 years ago with two 40-minute long episodes, but it was republished a few months ago as 1-hour long movie documentary.
I still believe in what trey the explainer said that spinosaurs could evolve into a dino like whales creatures
IVE been waiting for more
I remember hating this dino doc for knuckle walking spino
"Surprisingly enough, suchomimus came out as more hollow, adapted to terrestrial life"
I would not consider it surprising seeing as how much longer its legs are than spino.
We don't know how long his legs were or arms we don't have complete skeleton
@@dandino8100 we do have the legs of both sucho and spino, spino had much shorter legs compared to its body.
@@silverandgold4351 no we don't have complete
@@dandino8100 you don't need a complete skeleton to know the size of some limbs, we have spino And suchos legs and hip so we can know the size of their legs.
And we have 80% of spino skeleton complete the only thing missing is the arms and other small parts that won't change anything.
My god I can’t wait for you to do Prehistoric Planet :)
Thankfully no Rugops where harmed in the making of this documentary
Flashbacks to monsters resurrected
I always found the recent Spino sail shape very weird. Where did the middle dip idea come from?
My take on spinosaurus is that is was mid-transtion when it went extint. If it didn't die off, I feel it would of evolved into something like the mosasaurus. It was developing its arms for a fully, or atleast semi, aquatic lifestyle, leading to the ability to both walk on all fours and on two legs. And it could hunt like a herring bird, but was starting to favor driving for prey.
I think you have a bit of a misunderstanding on evolution long term. Every individual is 'mid-transition', and there is no goal for evolution. Spinosaurus isn't a step on the way to anything, its a spinosaurus. Given the date range we have for it, it was very well suited to doing what it was doing because it stayed the same for a very very long time. Change is driven completely from the environment, so its very possible it would've become more aquatic if there were pressures pushing it away from land (such as competing against carcharodontosaurs) or it possible it would've lost some of its semi-aquatic adaptations and become much more terrestrial if, for example, its environment became less and less suited for semi-aquatic life (such as the marshy environment it usually resided drying up).
Red raptor writes vs Rick raptor reviews
Hey Red Raptor could you review the accuracy of Dino Death Match and T.Rex Autopsy?
Yo red raptor! great vid, but i have a dino doc that you should review! Dinosaur Britain, i've seen clips and it looks pretty good.
My university lecturer, Dr David Martill is in this documentary!
Seriously, people need to stop comparing new theropod dinosaurs to T. rex. Every goddamn article about new dinosaur is LITERALLY like:
“NEW DINOSAUR BIGGER THAN A TYRANNOSAURUS, AT THE SHOCKING SIZE OF 2 METRES, EATING BABY TYRANNOSAURUS REXES WHICH WE NAMED FROM THE COMPLETE REMAINS OF 3 BONES”
I swear like 4 months from now there's gonna be something new with this confounded thing, like legs large enough to add another 2 tons or something ridiculous like that.
We don't talk about spino...
12:54
T-rex: When I was a chick, I ate Mom's dinner scraps every morning to help me get large. But, now that I'm grown, I eat Triceratops, so I'm roughly the size of a barge!
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE!!!!
I remembered I watch this documentary around 5 years ago
You won’t know how much I will do to get a time machine and go back in time just to discover the truth about spinosaurus.
Any Spinosaurus not wanting to paddle with their big tail : "Ibrahim turned me into a Newt !"
"a newt ?"
"I got better"
14:14 Why did someone add a Indominus rex image in it, like I wanna know what “5” dinosaurs that are theropods are they
Thank goodness the knuckle walking is no more. I always thought that was stupid.
JP3 flashbacks "it sounds bigger"
12:48 it’s not correct currently spinosaurus lenght 13,3-14 meters long, carcharadontosaurus lenght 12,1 meters long, giganotosaurus 12,5-13 meters long compared to Tyrannosaurus rex lenght 12-13 meters long, the ONLY one that slightly exceeds it in length is the spinosaurus.
Big question,will red rapter do dino dan/daina? It was something I grew up watching
Yay new Dino do review
Even if the centre of mass is near the hind legs... that still doesn't mean it's spine could have supported such a long large bulk just cantilevering without any support. It would have snapped
That Documentary sucks! Not enough footage of Spinosaurus yeeting Rugops around! 0/10 Points, what a waste!
Yeah! The correct size of spinosaurus is 273 feet!
It had a 30-foot skull and preyed on the Carchar! This documentary is way inaccurate! -10/10!

lol
14:15 Also that picture looks like Indominus rex
Please make a review on 'prehistoric predators' it's my favourite doc! Also i love the Spiderman memes 😂
He did one recently, just so you know.
@@speedracer2008 I know, I 've seen it the day it came out. Thank you tho!
Witch Dino doc we’ll you rank next?
Probably T-Rex: Ultimate Survivor considering the fact that that documentary came 1 year later.
remember when this or last year some carcharadontosaur from middle asia was described that shared it's ecosystem with smaller tyrannosaurid and it got clickbaited into TREX KILLER
also Walking with Cavemen and Mammoth Titan of the Ice Age?
A meme in 13 seconds, that seems like a new record, right?
Very Unique Dinosaur,I'm fascinated by the Evolution of Spinosaurus,honestly I like the 2014 reconstruction design.
Is Suchomimus the same as Suchosaurus or not? I heard that they got merged on a video but never saw anything else about it.
The strangest question came to mind watching this. Would Spinosaurus taste like Goose or Duck?
Is it okay that one documentary you review is the documentary called the mystery dinosaur. It is a documentary that is primarily about the nannotyrannus or juvenile rex debate.
I can't wait till Ibrahim comes out to show us Spinosaurus actually didn't have any legs and flopped around like a big tadpole seal hybrid.
Where can I watch that documentary?
Dr Paul Sereno is awesome and yes he found a lot of African dinosaurs
And many Mesozoic crocodilians
@@beastmaster0934 them to
YEAH NEW VIDEO BEEN WAITING
Still pretty funny how in a good 2-3 weeks the spinosaurus is gonna get a new rendition
But seriously spinosaurus is my favorite despite it constantly going through different renditions
Spinosaurus is like the emperor penguin of the dinosaurs, it like nothing else on the planet today or back when it lived, it went to the water instead of the air or land and look very different then it relatives
This is a stupid comparison i know it
as of the 2020s T Rex is back to being the biggest land predator ever, and the new weight estimatesmade it bigger, and the weight estimates of Spinosaurus Giganotosaurus, and Carcharodontosaurus were downsized to more realistic proportions.
LIKE CROCODILES AND NEWTS
*shows aligator
spinosaurus is definitely one of the dinosaurs of all time
How different would things look if there had been a complete Spinosaurus skeleton from the beginning?
14:12 why did they use an image of the Indominus rex?
Can you do a review on Prehistoric Predators?
I’m guessing that’ll get an A+ or A for accuracy.
Could you make a prehistoric planet accuracy review?
Wow, the spinosaurus no longer swims well and does not dive as previously thought.
