  • Several people have said the postosuchus got wounded in an offscreen hunt so there you go I guess.
  • @Dino_Boy.01
    Imagine they rebooted the show. Still using the puppets and adding better CGI. (And don’t bring up the WWD movie)
  • @carterlazarus813
    "Outside of Quetzalcoatlus, Postosuchus has changed the most in recent times" Polar Allo-venator: "Sir, my family wasn't classified until 2010"
  • @StoneWeevil
    Every rewatch I'm always relieved that the diplodocus female survives all the way to the end of episode 2
  • I always just thought the female Postosuchus got the tusk mark from a different hunting trip off screen since the episode skips forward through the dry season a couple of weeks
  • @Artsy.Journeys
    I will say one thing about this series that HAS withstood the test of time; the MUSIC. LOVE i! Also, BEAUTIFUL artwork!
  • @seanledden4397
    The changes in Postosuchus's gait are very satisfying. When I first saw "New Blood" I found it's walk to look very clumsy, and I wondered how it could catch prey with a build that reminds one of a stegosaurus. (Still love the show though!)
  • @devilix7132
    I absolutely loved walking with dinosaurs when I was younger never new it was such a big thing
  • Next to Jurassic Park, Walking with Dinosaurs is undoubtedly one of the most famous & influential pieces of paleo media there is, regardless of all its inaccuracies, it’s a wonderful series that even 25 years after it aired is still a joy to watch. I’d love to see all the designs redone in accurate ways, & maybe even do this for the spin offs Big Al, Chased by Dinosaurs & Sea Monsters, plus it’s sequel Walking with Beasts, it’s prequel Walking with Monsters, & maybe after those also cover Prehistoric Park & Primeval as well.
  • Walking with dinosaurs will always be my number one favorite documentary even though yes it’s in accurate but this is it a 1999 documentary but it’s story that is the most important and it had one of the best stories of documentaries of Paleo media
  • @The_Industry
    I am so inconceivably jealous of your colouring and shading skills mate, that alone earned you an immediate sub. Only critique I have is that something feels off about the foremost leg of the Coelophysis and Postosuchus, and the perspective on the Postosuchus' head doesn't seem to match the rest of it. Otherwise, phenomenal work, and I am truly in awe. Whilst I'm not as attached to WWD as many others, it was still a big part of my childhood, and I'd love to see the series continued. I'd also love to see you do this for Prehistoric Park (which actually was my childhood and the reason I love prehistory), since, IMO, it is one of the top 3-5 greatest bits of paleo-media ever created, and I mourn the fact that it can never be rebooted or continued at least twice a week.
  • @fabiomorandi3585
    I don't know if it was shot that way on purpose, but the Postosuchus death scene always gets to me. I straight-up cried the first time I watched it and now, 25 years later, it still never fails to get my eyes moist, even when it just starts playing inside my head for whatever reason.
  • @laurachapple6795
    My cat is sitting in my lap and keeps trying to eat your hands during the drawing parts.
  • That is some absolutely beautiful coloured pencil work! I love how you transferred the complex colour pattern of the WWD Coelophysis onto the shaggy feathers
