With a likely body length of around 5m (16ft) and weights of between 250-300kg (551-661lb), this was a raptor larger than a tiger and as big as a large grizzly bear. What’s more, based on its disproportionately large and robust hindlimbs (being comparable in thickness to theropods double its size), it is apparent that Achillobator wasn’t just large, but also exceptionally powerful for its size, likely being capable of killing prey as large or larger than itself. Such size and strength would have allowed it to be a genuine apex predator of its environment of late Cretaceous China and Mongolia, just as Utahraptor had been before it in North America.

You gonna buy the Stegosaurus skeleton thats on the market ? I’ll go halves… ( if half is about 30 quid) 😂

@@Ceege48I agree, I don’t want to see an important scientific discovery lost to some rich snob again.

I love playing this dinosaur in path of Titans lol

Fantastic as always. Mike from Prehistoric Magazine

"...nearly definitely was feathered...". Perhaps a bald patch here and there...

Underrated theropod💪🦴

As a Greek, let me say you pronounced Dimitri's name just fine.

Phew! I'm getting there haha

Speaking of sauropods, I'm waiting for you to do an episode on Brachytrapelopan, the anti-sauropod.

Love this channel - including the questions. It's always worth watching to the end.

Still baffles me how the recent JW movies keep showing off hybrids when there's like a limitless number of dinosaur species out there that can meet pretty much any movie monster specification. Why the Indoraptor when they can get Achillobator or Megaraptor? Why Indominus Rex when the novels themselves present Carnotaurus with the exact same abilities. 🦖

I love how Utah State fossil is the allosaurus, it's just like why not have to be the Utahraptor it has Utah in the name, also you could do Utahceratops as well well

Love this channel!

In a Skeleton Crew episode related to rating Velociraptor in JWE2, one of the paleontologist, James Napoli, tells how the apper desrcibing Achilobator was a theif. It's quite intresting

A new kind of raptor just as big as Utahraptor

@rylandfrederick431

Not as big, it's a good bit smaller, achillobater is around 450-650lbs while Utah is around 800-1200lbs, close but not the same

Utahraptor and Dakotaraptor watching from the sidelines: 😞💀

Thank you for another high quality video much appreciated. Would it be possible for a video on dinosaurs from England please thank you

Finally, a new video on achillobator. It’s crazy how very little achillobator videos there are, glad to see it’s getting the recognition it deserves. Also did the featherless sub have to be in the thumbnail 😭

Like your storytelling abilities with the data presentation. Also the camera loves you. Los Angeles

My dumbass thought this was a path of titans vid 😂

nice

Thank you so much for these videos! Excellent work

Like your storytelling while relating the data as we understand it. Los Angeles

❤

If you look slightly away from the word "giant" it looks like a very different word! Changes the meaning substantially....lol

I….did not read it like that but now I can’t unsee it 😂

Young Sauropod? Sure.. Adult? Sure they can try (Alamosaurus size)

Not this crazy Aussie thinking this was going to be about Australovenator. The largest known Australian Therapod/ megaraptor/ Little Polar allosaur/ Giant Sized dromeosaur (whatever science thinks it is now) in a land that has many discovered sauropods. I enjoyed this from start to finish anyway. Thank you 🧡

Australovenator is a megaraptor witch is a group related to tyrannosaurids so australovenator is not a dromeosaurid

How did large and medium crocs and turtles survive?

I dont think most raptors pack hunted.

My ass thought its a pot video because the thumbnail

WHY THE HECK DID YOU HAVE A PATH OF TITANS IMAGE ON YOUR VIDEO IMAGE??

Haha you serious dromasaurs were very small the tallest was only 6 feet inches that being denichus and utahraptor. Raptors and theropods have very dull claws but still sharp enough to leave a cut . No they couldnt kill a therthinsasaurs even in a pack
