Walking with Dinosaurs

Pachyrhinosaurus and what is most likely Albertosaurus, posted a few hours ago on the BBCEarth Instagram account.

The final three enclosures are done! Apologies for the dust storm, apparently some rock crashed into the gulf of Mexico and now all the dust has covered the park

Here's what the final version of the park looks like

Anyways, the first enclosure I'm showcasing is actually the last one I've built, it's the To Hell and Back enclosure, the first animal is a single Pteranodon

A single Archelon

3 Elasmosaurus

1 Halisaurus, using Tylosaurus as a stand in

Speaking of Tylosaurus, we also have 3 Tylosaurus, is it just the same as the Halisaurus but with different coloured stripes? Yes but shut up

Moving on to the Death of a Dynasty enclosure! We got Edmontosaurus annectens, or Anatotitan as it was known back in 1999, there are 5 of them

4 Torosaurus

A pair of Dakotaraptor, with all their chimaeric glory, or as they were known in the show, Dromarosaurus. The model is a Utahraptor recolour, and since I used Atrociraptor as a stand in for that, I've used Atrociraptor as a stand in again

2 Ankylosaurus

And off-course, what is a Dinosaur park without Tyrannosaurus? We got an aggressive female and a male

And our final enclosure holds the only Cenozoic animal in the park, the one only, Megalodon

And that's it for park! I definitely enjoyed building this more than the JPOG Park because I didn't limit myself to what JPOG allowed me to do this time, and I honestly think the park turned out beautiful

Now's the time you guysname the animals and I pick the ones I like the most

Anyways, I'll be leaving you guys with a teaser for the theme of the next park

I've built a Giants of the Sky + Land of the Giants enclosure, and a Spirits of the Ice Forest enclosure, anyway let's start

This is what the park looks like right now

I've built a lagoon next to the aviary for a single Plesiopleurodon, using Kronosaurus as a stand in

First we have a single Tropeognathus/Ornithocheirus

6 Tupandactylus/Tapejara

And the last Pterosaur, 4 Caulkicephalus (it's the Pterosaur that got bullied by the Tropeo) I'm using Cearadactylus as a stand in because it's an Anhanguerid with crest (in this game at least)

We got 4 Dakotadon/North American Iguanodon

Living with them is a single, what the British claim to be is Polacanthus, but we all know it's actually the monster, Gastonia (or Hoplitosaurus I guess)

Next we got actual Iguanodons and Polacanthus, 4 and 1 members respectively

We got 3 Utahraptor, now the in game Utahraptor doesn't look like the WWD Utahraptor, so I'm gonna be using Atrociraptor instead

Next is a single Macrogryphosaurus, that's right! The third time I'm using Iguanodon in the same enclosure, this time I'm using the Dominiom variant

We got a single Argentinosaurus, using the Frontier Dreadnoughtus as a stand in because it's ugly like the Argentino

Finally in this enclosure, we have 2 Mapusaurus/Giganotosaurus

On to the next enclosure, we got 6 Leaellynasaura using Dryosaurus as a stand in (again)

4 Muttaburrasaurus

Finally, we have 2 Polar Allosaur, using Metriacanthosaurus as a replacement, why not use Australivenator?

1. The Polar Allosaur was not based on Australovenator bones

2. The Polar Allosaur looks like, well, an Allosaur, doesn't look like a Megaraptoran at all

Now's the time you guys get to name these guys, the ones I like the most will be picked

Next time I'm building a Giant Claw exhibit and a WWD Movie exhibit

This took me 2 days to finish because school

So we got 2 big enclosures, the first one is a Time of the Titans enclosure that's divided into a prairie for the herbivores, and a salt plains for the carnivores

The second enclosure is a Cruel Sea enclosure, which is made up of two lagoons (a big and a small one) surrounded the whole area in water, then placed islands here and there, anyways, here's what the park looks like right now

Aight, let's start with the Time of the Titans enclosure, we got 3 sauropod species (2 each) first is Diplodocus

Next is Brachiosaurus

And Apatosaurus

We also got 2 Stegosaurus

6 Dryosaurus

Well actually we got 9 Dryosaurus, and 3 of them are a different colour from the rest, that's because they aren't Dryosaurus, they're actually Nanosaurus (this won't be the last time Dryosaurus will be used as a replacement)

We have Anurognathus, which isn't in the game, so I used a different Anurognathid (Jeholopterus) as a stand in, they're adorable! (And annoying) anyways, there are 14 of them

(Sorry I couldn't get a better picture)

Next is Allosaurus, there's 3 of them

And finally for the exhibit we have 6 Ornitholestes, I've used Proceratosaurus as a stand in

Next enclosure! First we got a single Cetiosaurus from the pilot, I've used Mamenchisaurus as a stand in

Next is Eustreptospondylus, I've used Megalosaurus as a stand in, anyways there's 3 of these guys

There used to be 4 of them but uhhhh

Yeah, we'll see what did this later

Next is Rhamphorhynchus, I've used Dsungaripterus as a stand in, there's 6 of them

Now starting with the lagoons, first we have the smaller lagoon which I like to call the fish bowl, we got 8 Ophthalmosaurus, I've used Ichthyosaurus as a stand in

And we got 3 Cryptoclidus, using Plesiosaurus as a stand in

Finally, the big lagoon is home to 2 Liopleurodon, using Kronosaurus as a stand in, because the in game Liopleurodon is not actually a Liopleurodon, he's an aquatic Crocodile turned gang leader

Also I somehow ended up with an infinite supply of Hybodus, which is why I'm using them as food

Anyways, it's time to name! Suggest a name for a specific animal, the ones I like the best are picked

Next episode is gonna be another big one, I'm gonna make a Giants of the Sky exhibit combined with a Land of the Giants exhibit only because Tropeognathus is in both, also I'll also build a Spirits of the Ice Forest exhibit, which shouldn't take as long because there's only like 3 species I could use

I decided to draw some art for walking with dinosaurs for Halloween (even though I don’t celebrate it). Basically it’s all the walking with dinosaurs creatures dressing up for Halloween, the creatures are:

Therizinosaurus: zombie

Tyrannosaurus: skeleton

Giganotosaurus: mummy

Stegosaurus: creepy doll

Postasuchus: Frankenstein

Diplodocus: Dracula

Iguanadon: catwoman (forgot it was Halloween)

Coelophysis: witch/wizard

Ornitocheirus: dragon

Argantinosaurus: the joker

Plateosaurus: was gonna be scream but the mask got stuck on his mouth

Allosaurus: demon

Brachiosaurus: couldn’t find one his size

Small ghost: we don’t know what creature it is yet (all will be revealed in the comic going along with this)

Utahraptor: pumpkin

Dakotaraptor: The 14th doctor who

Leaellynasaura: twisted mad hatter

Torasaurus: werewolf

Ankylosaurus: spider

Velociraptor: scarecrow

Anatotitan: the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs

Protoceratops: triceratops

Tarbosaurus: Rudolph the red nosed reindeer (of course he tried to find something else scary that wasn’t his face, so he decided to do this early)

Cynodont: Spider-Man

Ornitholesties: Alan grant

Liplurodon: dinosaur

Sarcosuchus: pirate (he also asked his friend deinosuchus to ask his friend crocodile for captain hooks skeleton, and sarcosuchus dressed the dead body up as a sarcosuchus)

Big al: grim reaper

Eustreptospondilis: Godzilla

Ophthalmosaurus: dead

Polacantus: tank

Polar allosaur: headless

Cryptoclydus: Victorian ghost

Sadly though, saurolophus had to cancel last minute, something about jury duty. In the art though you can see I added OUR LORD, NIGAL MARVIN. Also about the dakotaraptor, I made this at 10 o’clock at night so I was too tired to search up the proper clothing for the 14 doctor who, and went with his without the fancy stuff look. anyways the reason why I’m making this post now was because 1, I wanna make the comic before Halloween and also I wanna get something done by the third of November (try and guess what it is for) and 2, I’m doing stuff nearly all Halloween and I’m going on holiday the day after Halloween soooo yeah. Anyways don’t forget to like and subscribe and I’ll see you in the next one.

Peace out raptors

Looks like filming for WWD 2025 took place in Canada and Spain.

From here.

https://www.instagram.com/lewisandrewss/

Episode 8 of Surviving Earth (the one focusing on the ice age) has segments filmed in Alberta, Canada.

Note the blurry puppet in the first photo, showing that Arctodus or the cave bear might appear.

From here (private account).

https://www.instagram.com/kate__fv/

Episode with the Great Dying will be in Episode 3.

So episode layout for Surviving Earth is now this:

1. Ordovician extinction.

2. Devonian extinction.

3. Permian extinction.

4. Triassic extinction.

5. Cenomanian-Turonian Boundary Event (or something like it, the nodosaur confirmed is likely Borealopelta).

6. K-Pg extinction.

7. Eocene extinction (or something like it).

8. Missoula floods and megafauna extinction.

There’s more I want to share, but maybe in the not-too-distant future.

Don’t forget, it’s not going to be like the original series.

We won’t know who’s making the music or who’s narrating until when it’s close to release, most likely.

The main animal of each episode will have a name like Big Al (pretty curious as to what they’re going to call the Spinosaurus).

Each episode focuses on a particular dig site that’s active or has been active recently (possibly explaining the lack of a Triassic episode).

“No Species Lasts Forever”. The main line in the Walking With franchise. It tells us how we are finite, and no matter what, no matter how greatly we think of ourselves, we cannot escape death and extinction.

It is a primal fear that we all share no matter what. We cannot fathom the thought of dying. It is natural and understandable, as it is the one threat we cannot escape. It will follow us and we cannot do anything about it. We wait for death to come, and we cannot stop that. We will fall. But there is a better way to think about this.

No species lasts forever, as we all know. We see this with dinosaurs and animals. They will never last forever, but they are mesmerizing to us. The impact they made after their demise makes us wonder and look upon them in awe, and perhaps fear if they were alive today. That is what we should hopefully try to do.

We will not last forever, so let us make a positive impact on the world and let us also be remembered if other sapient species find us. We should not be remembered as a civilization that destroyed the world and ravaged ecosystems. We should be remembered as those that made a mistake, but managed to fix it. We should be here to protect. We should be remembered positively.

We must care about the world around us, for even though physically, no species lasts forever, we can be immortalized with our impacts.

So I just wanted to discuss some hot takes I have with popular(ish) designs in Paleo-Media, because some of these annoy me and also cuz why not. (Note: all of these are my opinions and based on design, NOT behavior)

Hottake 1#

I’m unsure how popular Rex is around the Paleo Community is, but I have heard consider him cute. I honestly can't tell why. To me, his face looks like an ugly monkey, or that weird Vinemeat Earthworm, mainly because it feels like they tried too hard to make his face cutesy and human-like and he has too many wrinkles. That and the fin crest isn’t doing it for me and the design seems quite generic for me. JWA’s Coelurosauravus on the other hand is absolutely precious (and one of many underrated designs from that game). They have the pointed head shape and crest to make them look like the creature it’s based on and the eyes make them adorable (without being slightly uncanny). That and the coloration is stellar. The only shortcomings compared to Rex would probably be the tail length and the base brown color of the center one. But that aside, excellent designed cute gliding bois and much preferred over Rex.

Hottake 2#

I have personal beef with the Jurassic Park Dilophosaurus. I can’t for the life of me comprehend why it would be designed so wrong (even for its time) or why people like it to the extent they do (Nostalgia’s not THAT strong is it?!). I have to admit I the colors are spectacular, but great colors on a bad model doesn’t justify said model (*cough* JW Pteranodon and WWD Theropods in general *cough*). The poison would have one thing on its own, but the inclusion of the frill just feels wrong to me, like it doesn’t belong in a creature like this. Also the small size and abelisaurid shaped skull only makes this design worse for me, given that the long skull and size are my favorite features of Dilo. Dilophosaurus is a cool creature on its own and this design takes away everything I like about it. The main reason I dislike this design (other than the fact it’s barely even a Dilophosaurus anymore) is that this THING is now Dilo’s reputation. Although, I have to admit, the colors make it so that I can’t myself outright hate the design, assuming it stays confined to the Jurassic Franchise WHERE IT BELONGS. I’m just sick of frilled Dilo is all.

Hottake 3#

The Walking with Dinosaurs Tyrannosaurus in my opinion, is hands down the most overrated designs on this list (colors aside). I’m convinced the praise it’s gotten is solely due to nostalgia. At the very least, JP’s Frilled Spitter can be cool to a young impressionable kid, but how does ANYONE think the WWD Rex is cool?! The face is really ugly, shaped like a rock doing an impression of a crumpled up plastic bag, rather than something that looks like a T.rex. That and the tail is weirdly small and limp (which reminds me, why what’s up the WWD Diplo’s limp tail whipping about and why am I the only one bothered by said limp-ness?). This looks more like a child’s cruddy drawing of T.rex rather than a documentary design.

The Allosaurus is definitely less offensive but still overrated in my opinion. For the first design, the body length and tail are a bit off, but it’s mainly the ugly face once again which is overly round for some reason. The Ballad of Big Al version is better (no complaints about the body), but the face is still ugly, too short and because of some horrendous shrink wrapping, looks kinda lumpy too. (Also, I’d put WWD Eustrepto and Utah here, but not enough people like those designs for me to consider).

Hottake 4#

Whenever I see people talk about the Disney Carno, they say it “cool unique choice that’s different from T.rex”, which feels more like Nostalgia talking again. Gee I WISH it was a unique choice that felt different from T.rex. I don’t mind the colors or the spikes, but the main issue is that its far too big and bulky and basically just a T.rex (which is what these were originally supposed to be), even tho Carnotaurus was medium sized and slim. This isn’t a Carnotaurus, it’s a mega-theropod wearing a Carno cosmetic. What’s weird is that Jurassic World actually gives Carno a decent design (as did Ark and The Isle), with a smaller and slimmer build that actually makes it feel different from T.rex. The spikes and arms bother me a little bit, it at least it’s distinct and feels like Carnotaurus.

Hottake 5#

The Iguanodons’ faces in Disney’s Dinosaur are super ugly

This one’s on list, not cause of popularity, but I seen quite a few compliments and almost no criticisms so… I don’t mind most of the Igaundon’s design (even if the texture feels off and the horns are weird). But the faces are kinda gross. I could forgive this if we’re just the eyes, but the lips in place of a beak come off as extremely uncanny, only made worse by the weird teeth. I get that having beaked dinosaur designs talking and expressing would have been weird, but this feels much worse. Part of this may be the nature of a realistic textured 3d model compared to a simplified 2d design, but as is, foul, vile, no thanks.

Hottake 6#

I find it understandable why people hate the Dominion Giga is bad, but I’d argue there’s worse. I don’t hear many complain about it, but Primeval’s Giga is a such a weird and jarringly gangly sight with a bizarrely short skull and I can’t even tell what’s going on with its neck. Meanwhile, while not my favorite design (I prefer the RJ Palmer one), Dominion’s Giga to me is decent enough. It’s mainly just some of the croc skin and the skull being too wide that get me. The rest of the body, primarily in shape, seems alright to me (and it doesn't look like it’s crossed with a homeless man).

But anyways, hope you enjoyed, feel free to debate with me or tell me any design hottakes you have. Thank you and goodbye.

Walking With Dinosaurs 2025 will have no Triassic episode. Apologies to Triassic fans, who now only have Surviving Earth to look forward to.

https://x.com/TomHoltzPaleo/status/1828194088862335316

2. Lourinha Formation.

3. Cedar Mountain Formation.

4. Bahariya Formation.

5. Dinosaur Provincial Park.

6. Hell Creek Formation.

Show will be released in the summer by the way.

And a bootleg Lego plesiosaurs that can transform into a robot and a speed boat/squid possibly. Also the plushie T.rex is the JWD one so if ya want one go there then. Anyways don’t forget to like and subscribe and I’ll see you in the next one

peace out raptors

Before we get into this I wanted to say that some characters are dinopedia users but Jurassic Park characters and not too many users said what characters they wanted to be so I’m using random users for different characters anyways on with the show.

Oh and by the way I’m skipping to the brachiosaurus scene at the beginning because of the other scenes not being that interesting.

(Dino media park jeeps with our main protagonists in are driving through the Dino media valley as I’m calling it due to the fact there are 2 projects in there.)

Godzilla Hammond: slow down stop stop stop stop stop stop.

(cars stop)

(Ocean satler has a conifer from walking with dinosaurs)

Ocean satler: Ornithomimus65 this shouldn’t be here

(Alan ornithomimus65 see’s something and takes his glasses off)

Ocean satler: Alan this species of plant has been extinct since the late Cretaceous-

(Alan ornithomimus65 makes ocean satler look at what he was looking at)

(They then look at a brachiosaurus, but not the Jurassic Park one but the walking with dinosaurs one)

(Alan and ocean studios satler get out the car)

Ornithomimus65: it’s…..it’s a dinosaur

Drake the Dino nerd Malcom: he did it, he actually did it, that fickin man did it!

Duckhunt Gennaro: oh we are making millions man

Orithomimus65: oh dang it I forgot the line I’m supposed to say

Godzilla Hammond: well we clocked one of the t.rex’s speed up to 50 miles per hour

Ornithomimus65: you have a t.rex!

Godzilla Hammond: well we actually have multiple t.rex’s

Ornithomimus65: say it again

Godzilla Hammond: we have a t.rex he he we have a t.rex

(alan ornithomimus65 faints)

Godzilla Hammond: Dr. onithomimus, my dear Dr. Satler welcome to Dino media park.

(we then see all the walking with dinosaurs creatures I repainted on a post I did on Sunday so go check that out. And there were dinosaurs from my next project I’m not naming at that watering hole from the first movie)

Part 2 coming probably next week maybe. I need suggestions on who should be lex and Tim, Dennis nedry, Dr wu and ray Arnold anyways don’t forget to like and subscribe and I’ll see you in the next one

Peace out raptors

Welcome to the Dino media park. This park is one where i repaint dinosaurs to look like ones from different movies,shows and documentary dinosaurs. So first we have walking with dinosaurs. Here are the dinosaurs:

Coeliphysis

Brachiosaurus

Liplurodon

(Femboy) ornithocheirus

Uhtahraptor (or just raptor)

Austrolovenetor (polar allosaur)

(Try guess what creature is under the polar allosaur)

Tyrannosaurus

All in one enclosure (man it’s really cramped)

Now I didn’t mention this at the top this is me doing it to the best of my ability with sharpies soooo yeah. Tomorrow I’m going to do the first part of Dino media park (parody of Jurassic Park but it’s Dino media park and the character are dinopedia users). Anyways that’s it for today don’t forget to like and subscribe and I’ll see you in the next one

Peace out raptors

So i saw Mario Lanzas' video about Walking With Dinosaurs, and when i saw Postosuchus i said to myself: "Dude, why not making some Postosuchus drawings???"

Btw, yea i drew it from memory
