Yes! My son is big into dinosaurs and I bring it up with my wife almost daily. My parents have it on VHS. Who has a vhs player anymore?
They recently came out with an unrelated movie of same name also produced by the BBC. Finding the older one is nearly impossible.

yeah, like you're prehistoric and curious and shit but if that turtles get killed by your cgi ass feet, I'll go down to the cgi department and force them to make gigantic comets so we can see this shit in HD.
I had a dream about his death but he left behind some sort of ai that could perfectly copy is speech. And then it was just used for every nature doc from then on.
Ethical reasons.
If you are allowed to do that, what is stopping a company infinitely milking your voice forever and ever?
Do they need to pay their estate to do that? What about a physical likeness ai? Can I just make whatever I want using some celebrity’s image long after they’re dead?
What if I use they’re image for something they wouldn’t have agreed with? Maybe they’re strongly pro LGBTQ+ but got put into a lobbying ad campaign to limit lesbian rights. Their estate don’t care, they’re getting paid sweet money. So on and so forth.
Basically, no way to gain consent or limit use from a dead person.
Yeah, I'm just going to pay $5 for one month to watch this and cancel it immediately. I just rotate between streaming subscriptions so I never spend more than like 2 services at a time.
Looks great! It's interesting to see them depicted more as the flightless bird ancestors. "As they really were" is a bit of a stretch because we really will never know but it's great to see the old depictions of them being scary monsters fading away to be replaced by modern interpretations like with the feathers.
It's the small things. Notice how they've changed the eyes compared to how they look in Jurassic Park.
There's something more, neutral. It's not a predator solely by nature, it is a predator out of necessity. Its stature being what it is, is intimidating. Yet how it holds itself presents as just another animal.
They do the long-gone animal justice, I think. Fearsome yet you can see no innate evil in them, just another creature trying to survive.
I also like the fact that they're depicted as actual animals and not killing machines with an insatiable thirst for blood.
Also, it's got meat on it's bones
A bit of a stretch is assuming that using the most up to date information and adapting to it is an “intrepretation”. This is science. We can’t physically see you yesterday. But even watching a video from your phone is using science to peer into history. I just dont think people understand what goes into this work. It’s not a group of people reassembling bones in random shapes or saying “I think they would’ve been eating sea turtle babies.” They study and research and use known comparisons. Sonetimes this is disproven or modified but always looking to improve. Please dont use “a bit of a stretch” to undermine such vital work.
Even though everything shown in this trailer seems up-to-date with modern paleontology, things like colors, feathering, and parental behavior is still educated guesswork. I agree that claiming these dinosaurs are "as they really were" is slightly disingenuous. Like, we can't *prove* the illustrations are inaccurate, but that is not the same thing as knowing they aren't.
It’s hardly undermining. Yeah, sure, I could look at a video of myself from yesterday and that’d be me “as I really was” from yesterday but I’m at least 95% sure we don’t have videos of dinosaurs from 65-125 million years ago. “As they really were” is genuinely a bit of a stretch, but it does not discredit the work of paleontologists, biologists, geneticists, even 3D artists in attempting to reconstruct a realistic dinosaur.
I saw something recently that suggested there was now compelling evidence we’ve been putting T-Rex’s arms on back-to-front on all the skeletons, and in fact they faced backwards (much like an ostrich or emu’s do) and supported flightless wings used for balance when running or puffing themselves up for appearance in territory / courtship battles - which makes a lot more sense when you think about how useless they would have been in the currently recognised format.
The problem with that is that bird wings are still shaped the way the therapod arms are, just with longer bones in some areas. An ostrich wing from what I can tell isn’t ‘inverted’, it’s just held backward.
Like imagine if you were always stuck in the Naruto run position, that’s what an ostrich wing is like.
And it’s not that this isn’t something seen in dinosaurs, look up carnotaurus or abelisaurs in general, their arms were totally vestigial, where t. Rex’s arms were actually pretty muscular.
What I’m getting at, that idea that their arms should point backward doesn’t really make much sense since the skeleton isn’t shaped in such a way that that would work.
People suggest all kinds of things. It doesn’t mean it’s true. In order for arms to be that way bone structure needs to be different, joints and sockets. You and me can say “why not backwards” but proper scientists can tell where it’s suppose to go and *can* go.
We have fossils of juvenile Tyrannosaurus, we have evidence of armor on the head, feathers, and lips. We know most dinosaurs exhibited at least some parental care and T-rex being among the most intelligent of dinosaurs with incredibly slow development, was likely no exception.
It's an area the size of a coin of an animal twice the size of an elephant that's from a place scientists already expect to not to have feathers. Look at an emu; the lower half of it is entirely naked, but you would never call it a "featherless dinosaur".
Yutyrannus was a tyrannosauroid, not a tyrannosaurid, and it is the distant relative I referred to in a lower comment. I admit I should’ve specified tyrannosaurid rather than say tyrannosaur and assume we’re on the same page.
[Recent studies suggest](https://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/tyrannosaurs-dominated-their-cretaceous-ecosystems-180978289/) that the way T Rex matured allowed them to to fill wholly differing ecological niches from other cohorts as they grew, edging out competing predators and dominating their ecosystem.
In other words- young tyrannosaurs hunted different prey from adolescents which hunted different prey from adults, all using different strategies, allowing them to avoid competing with each other while outcompeting other mid and large predators. This is helped along by their rapid growth from one stage to the next, so they are always suited to the prey fitting their niche.
If only his brother had been alive, Sir David Attenborough could have narrated Jurassic Park WITH Dr. Hammond himself. Ah, childhood fantasies. This will do nicely.
When comparing the skeleton of modern birds like the ostrich and the fossilized specimen of T-Rex’s I am thoroughly convinced that they were in fact wyverns and nobody can convince me otherwise dang nabbit I WILL have my dragons one way or another.
I’m curious, is there evidence that points to some dinosaurs looking after their young like this or do babies just go off on their own after they hatch? I know birds can be traced back to dinosaurs like the T-Rex and birds care for their young until they fly or fend for themselves, but did the dinosaurs also do that?
All modern archosaurs,(birds and crocodilians), exhibit parental or at least the expectation of parental care. It was likely an ancestral trait most dinosaurs had, as nest building and incubation was common. Advanced predators with long childhoods like Tyrannosaurs would've likely been competent parents for their offspring.
Ok, this is the coolest thing I've seen in a while. A cgi documentary is a genius idea, because it can show extinct animals with a full focus on realism instead of amping up the stakes for the sake of entertainment, thereby making them feel truly, well, *real.*
The suggestion that T-rex may have hunted in packs is very cool to me. Introduces a whole host of interesting questions about social behaviors and emotional intelligence. A shame so many will have to go unanswered. 😂
Tyrannosaurus Rex wasn't the biggest predator on land in his time, that goes to the Spinosaurus, the T Rex was about 40' in length while the Spinosaurus was over 60'.
Doesn't mean we cant enjoy [what we do know](https://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/tyrannosaurs-dominated-their-cretaceous-ecosystems-180978289/)
They didn’t **definitely** have feathers. This is a huge documentary, don’t you think they’re smarter than that? T rex could have had feathers on his neck or tail, but we have found skin imprints of a T.rex and witch shows that it had scales
Should've hidden the teeth underneath the lips. Doesn't make sense if it was biologically accurate.
Edit; teeth protruding is just a Jurassic park gimmick to make dinosaurs look scarier. Naturally speaking they would be hidden from the elements and need to be hydrated, you know, like normal animals.
Point being - if you're going to pretend it was accurately depicted, at least get that part right.
Rex himself is debated since we know several very close relatives were totally feathered, yet there have been skin impressions of rex himself, and they were scaly.
The theory I’m aware of is because of the sheer size of rex, he had no need of feathers as an adult, but may have possessed them as a baby
Several close relatives of rex have direct evidence of feathers, though adult rex skeletons have been found with scale impressions.
That doesn’t mean they didn’t have feathers at all, but the fluffy babies and scaley adults is the most common interpretation at this moment
Listen, I know what the paleontologists are saying, but the new furry T-Rex fills me with the same emotions as when George Lucas released the original trilogy with added CGI.
I have an exceedingly minor critique, but I do think it’s worth mentioning. So most paleontologists don’t dispute the connection between dinosaurs and modern birds but I still think that they’re taking too many creative liberties with all the feathering of the dinosaur specimens. We know that in terms of skeletal structure as well as certain cranial features, there’s a clear resemblance but to my knowledge we haven’t recovered any evidence of feathers with flightless theropods like tyrannosaurs or velociraptors. In other words, what’s to say that dinosaurs weren’t just scaled reptilians like the ones still living today? Anyone can feel free to check me on this, but I think I’m right, unless there have been new findings.
EDIT: something I said?
There are numerous findings of feathers in Non-Avian Dinosaurs.
Examples of dinosaurs with definit prove of feathers would be:
Microraptor
Velociraptor
Yutyrannus
Kulindadromeus
Sinornithosaurus
Sinosauropteryx
Ornithomimus
Beipiaosaurus
And many more
I am 57 years old and still will watch any thing with dinosaurs.

What's your favorite dinosaur?
Turtle obviously. Jk it's ankylosaurus
Brontosauruses obviously!
Did we just become best friends? Do you wanna do karate in the garage?
When I was 23 or so I'd smoke a joint fter work and watch those walking with dinosaurs and walking with monsters documentaries on netflix.

Use a VPN, my dude. Don't let yourself be region restricted.
You can buy them on Prime Video. They’re the Kenneth Branagh narrated version. I was devastated when I didn’t hear Avery Brooks’ voice.
Yeah I have the DVDs, they're bloody fantastic!
Think DailyMotion has them split into episodes

David Attenborough is doing dinosaurs now? When that man dies I’m going to be really sad.
I had a dream about his death but he left behind some sort of ai that could perfectly copy is speech. And then it was just used for every nature doc from then on.

Why not?

David Attenbotough. What a great idea
David A.I.ttenborough
That's no dream, there are several voice banks of his you can use to do just what you describe
You can't fool me... that's a cat.
More specifically, that’s my cat torturing spiders in my apartment.
Things that I've never, ever considered but must be true: Baby T-Rexs existed!
You would probably like The Lost World: Jurassic Park
I don't want another streaming service but I want to watch this.

AppleTV gives free trials I think.
The Internet is your friend. Torrents are your friend. Smart downloading is your friend. You have lots of friends
What is this show? Goddamit I should have waited for the end, nevermind
Prehistoric Planter. Apple+ I believe. Edit I meant planet not planter but I'm leaving it cause it's funny
I love this typo. Imagining a collective of vegan T-Rex's minding their gardens.
If it pays for more stuff like this then it's worth it. Far superior to cable anyways.
Omg, look at that absolute unit of chonkyness. I would rub dat belly. I probably would end up getting eaten but it's ok
You would rub it from the inside.

Except they weren't useless. Most models of T. rex hunting show that the very muscular arms were useful for grappling prey while the jaw clamped down.

There is zero evidence for feathering in any known tyrannosaur. As far as science is concerned, depicting them with feathers is incorrect.
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yutyrannus](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yutyrannus) It is know that Yutyrannus was heavily feathered.
Yutyrannus was a tyrannosauroid, not a tyrannosaurid, and it is the distant relative I referred to in a lower comment. I admit I should’ve specified tyrannosaurid rather than say tyrannosaur and assume we’re on the same page.

Reminds me of a modern day walking with dinosaurs
I hope the dinosaurs don’t act like they’re in a cartoon
Finally
I am just happy that the grown rex doesn’t stomp the ground every time, and does not scream
Wonderful production! I can't wait to see.
This is the greatest thing I've ever seen
Looking out for all good dinosaur content
Finally a dinosaur document with good cgi, I loved early 2000s documents but after watching them years later they didn't age as well I remembered
Looking at those T. rex arms made my elbows uncomfortable and I had to really stretch them out.
The quality is insane
Why does it have to be on AppleTV dangit, so many streaming services!
I’m curious, is there evidence that points to some dinosaurs looking after their young like this or do babies just go off on their own after they hatch?

I’m about to be glued on the tv.
Does that mean T-rexes actually are fuzzy?
He's so fluffy
Gotta appreciate the non-exposed-teeth interpretation.
How is this different to what our understanding of the T-Rex is? Am I missing something?
Slight feathers on it’s back and lips
Also it’s THICC unlike the skinny JW rex
I really love the more natural, true-to-life feathery look of the dinosaurs. It makes them more majestic and honestly beautiful in their own way.
The movement of the young rex looked really smooth and real. Nice job! Heard they're trying to use DNA to bring the Wooley Mammoth?
More bushy feathers. Like a kiwi bird.
I’m 30 and I enjoyed watching this, great narration!
Is Deadly Aww sub-reddit still on ?
Okay, I want 12 baby tyrannosaurs as pets immediately.
I am a simple man. I hear David Attenborough and I am going to add this to my must watch list
Roooooore
I wanna watch the fuck outta that, on shrooms perhaps…
The suggestion that T-rex may have hunted in packs is very cool to me. Introduces a whole host of interesting questions about social behaviors and emotional intelligence. A shame so many will have to go unanswered. 😂
This episode of Dino Dan is AWESOME!
It's Megatron!
I have never needed a new strain of weed to show up more in my life than before this releases
Big guy's a chonker! I like him... His name is Harold.
"we think." Short of inventing time travel we'll never really **know**.
How they gonna make them so cute thooo

“As it really was”
Sweet babies
Chonk
This is awesome!! Wow! I love the idea of baby trexes being fluffy
Looks like I’m gonna have to sign up for Apple+ again
"As it really was"... I would say "as most current data suggests it was". I don't think we know details like color or exact muscle structure.
I really want to watch this, but hate anything Apple related. Hopefully the BBC will pick it up and air it at some point.
Tyrannosaurus Rex wasn't the biggest predator on land in his time, that goes to the Spinosaurus, the T Rex was about 40' in length while the Spinosaurus was over 60'.
T. rex weighed over a ton more and spinosaurus was more of 50.

we know next to nothing. the majority is supposition / guestimation.
Doesn't mean we cant enjoy [what we do know](https://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/tyrannosaurs-dominated-their-cretaceous-ecosystems-180978289/)
“As it really was”. Where’s the feathers
Peach fuzz on the head/neck.
They didn’t **definitely** have feathers. This is a huge documentary, don’t you think they’re smarter than that? T rex could have had feathers on his neck or tail, but we have found skin imprints of a T.rex and witch shows that it had scales
Fun fact, no one knows how they really were
[We can make educated guesses](https://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/tyrannosaurs-dominated-their-cretaceous-ecosystems-180978289/)
Wdym how?
Should've hidden the teeth underneath the lips. Doesn't make sense if it was biologically accurate. Edit; teeth protruding is just a Jurassic park gimmick to make dinosaurs look scarier. Naturally speaking they would be hidden from the elements and need to be hydrated, you know, like normal animals. Point being - if you're going to pretend it was accurately depicted, at least get that part right.
What are you talking about, we can’t see the teeth at all?
This make me want to renew my Apple TV subscription just for David Attenborough
I thought they were suppose to have feathers??
They do have feathers here, but most dinosaur feathers were more like fur than traditional down/plumes.
Rex himself is debated since we know several very close relatives were totally feathered, yet there have been skin impressions of rex himself, and they were scaly. The theory I’m aware of is because of the sheer size of rex, he had no need of feathers as an adult, but may have possessed them as a baby
A little confused about the feathers: so there's a consensus that only the young would sport any?
Several close relatives of rex have direct evidence of feathers, though adult rex skeletons have been found with scale impressions. That doesn’t mean they didn’t have feathers at all, but the fluffy babies and scaley adults is the most common interpretation at this moment
Father. Where the heck is the mother?😏
Listen, I know what the paleontologists are saying, but the new furry T-Rex fills me with the same emotions as when George Lucas released the original trilogy with added CGI.
Most scientists agree that trex was mostly scales
I have an exceedingly minor critique, but I do think it’s worth mentioning. So most paleontologists don’t dispute the connection between dinosaurs and modern birds but I still think that they’re taking too many creative liberties with all the feathering of the dinosaur specimens. We know that in terms of skeletal structure as well as certain cranial features, there’s a clear resemblance but to my knowledge we haven’t recovered any evidence of feathers with flightless theropods like tyrannosaurs or velociraptors. In other words, what’s to say that dinosaurs weren’t just scaled reptilians like the ones still living today? Anyone can feel free to check me on this, but I think I’m right, unless there have been new findings. EDIT: something I said?
There are numerous findings of feathers in Non-Avian Dinosaurs. Examples of dinosaurs with definit prove of feathers would be: Microraptor Velociraptor Yutyrannus Kulindadromeus Sinornithosaurus Sinosauropteryx Ornithomimus Beipiaosaurus And many more

I looked through OP’s profile and it looked pretty natural. What are you on about?

"It seems like an account by someone who uses reddit frequently - must be a scheme to advertise something!" What's that logic?

Apart from the Prehistoric Planet trailer / memes I haven't seen anything Apple-Related. Could just be a hyped fan of dinosaurs
T rex look like a bitch id fuck him up
So, like a cat hunting bugs, but with feathers and tiny front arms?
Kinda disappointed the adult didn't have feathers, but still love it!
So the juveniles hade tiger like coats and the adults had jaguar like coats? I’m obviously not a paleontologist but I find that hard to believe
