It's about 68 T-rex's found in the Gobi Desert. That can't be true, as Tyrannosaurus rex is only known from North America. Unless you mean Tarbosaurus bataar...occasionally considered a Tyrannosaurus species... They actually call them Tyrannosaurs as a generic name, Albertosaurus and Tarbosaurus are used when they talk about the specific bone beds. And it's about 16 not 68. The Albertosaurus bone bed has 20+. Ha,ha they just now identified a Triceratops as a Protoceratops . It's still pretty interesting, though nothing groundbreaking. |

Mostly they say Tyrannosaurus this and Tyrannosaurus that. In order to understand Tyrannosaurs, Curry studies Komodo Dragons and Lions. His theory is Tyrannosaurs hunted like lions. Anyway it's all very speculative. Witmer is involved also. |

Well 'tyrannosaurs' is fine, as they are tyrannosaurs, but they definitely aren't Tyrannosaurus rex if they're in the Gobi Desert. Mind you, that ad continually refers to 'T-Rex', whatever that is  |

I finally got around to watching it. I'm not too fond of this one. The CGI models look a bit strange, and the some of the information doesn't make too much sense. For example, why did the carnivores just stay there for the winter when there's almost no prey? Wolves follow caribou when they migrate.
The Albertosaurus were compared to crocodiles a bit too much I think. How could such large endothermic animals have gone months without food? They were the most ridiculous of the dinosaurs in the documentary. The first one to attack can ninja jump, but the rest can't go faster than a trot? They were a bit too dramatic too. Like when that one Albertosaurus had Scar cornered, and just stood there. Like it was waiting to get swept away or something.

I'm sorry to say that it actually aired last night on the National Geographic Channel, but was actually named 'The Dinosaur's Great Escape.' It was one of my favorite dinosaur documentaries and you actually got attached to the young Edmontosaurus named Scar as in an actual movie! I would definitely recommend this to all the dinosaur toy forum! ;D |

www.novamov.com/video/9yd2rnoly67g7Watch out though. The site has too many bloody advertisements that pop up while the video is playing (even if you use full screen). And you have to pause the video for a long time so it doesn't have to reload every half a minute.

Thanks guys. Actually if National Geographic played this week, more than likely it will be on again this weekend or repeat sometime in the near future.
Well dang, it's not on again for some time. I'll check out that vid. Thanks.

Yeah, I looked and find anything for a while unfortunately since I found out about as soon as it was on so I missed the HD version and recorded the 'not' HD version. |

Hey guys. I watched it and I must say it was good. Not perfect, but good. Sometimes we are too harsh on these documentaries and I think March worth watching. The marine animals are Prognathodons, according to wiki. Not pliosaurs... For you guys, like me, can't watch on TV, I recommend to download it. I downloaded it in this blog. There are two versions, one of 1.45 GB (which I downloaded and is pretty good ) and another of 550 MB. The movie is hosted at Mediafire.com if anyone would like to know. super-mercy.blogspot.com/2011/06/march-of-dinosaurs-2011.html |

Just saw it online at the itv website. Very well done. Entertaining. Some silly speculation, some reasonable, a plot and scene "lift" from Disney's "Dinosaur", but overall quite good.
The feathered Gorgosaurs and Albertosaurs are the coolest renditions of Tyrannosaurs I've ever seen. Just beautiful.

A couple of quick low-res screen captures I did last night ... the feathered head and "mane" plus the little "tuft" at the end of the tail were masterstrokes ... ALBERTOSAURUS:  GORGOSAURUS:  |

Dodgy arms though. (Although they should be praised for the lack of pronation, still.)

You know..the posture and all kinda reminds me of the juvenile tyrannosaur suits that some zoos and museums are using...not bad though.
