As the left hindlimb was retracted backwards, the tail flexed to the left, and vice versa for the right hindlimb. Cue Plateosaurus coming in bellowing, as if to tell the Coelophysis 'Make way for the new hotness, Gramps' During the first attack of the Allosaurus, one of the baby Diplodocus makes a sound (at around 0:50 in the video. Stylistic demonstration of the studyвЂ™s main finding: the tail of bipedal dinosaurs like Coelophysis laterally flexed (wagged) in sync with the forwardsвЂ“backwards swinging of the hindlimbs. At the end of the first episode, the narrator talks about the Coelophysis leading to bigger animals. They suggest it is likely that other dinosaurs used their tails in similar ways.Д¬omputer simulations of running locomotion in a modern tinamou bird (brown) and extinct theropod dinosaur Coelophysis (green). They found that doing so forced the dinosaur to exert more energy as it moved-without the tail, it used 18% more muscle power. The researchers also changed the size of the tail in the simulations to see how it might impact the creature's locomotion, and in one case, removed it altogether. Grey tiles = 10 cm for tinamou, 50 cm for Coelophysis, played at 0.2Г— actual speed. Computer simulation of modern tinamou bird (brown) and extinct theropod dinosaur Coelophysis (green) running at maximum speed. They noted that the swinging pattern of the tail resembled that of humans walking or running as they swing their arms. A close look showed that the dinosaur was using its tail to regulate the angular momentum throughout its entire body along an axis to maintain its balance. The researchers found that the dinosaur swung its tail back and forth as it ran or walked in harmony with its neck, creating a rhythmic pattern. Grey tiles = 10 cm, played at 0.2Г— actual speed. Computer simulation of modern tinamou bird running at maximum speed. After inputting its known characteristics, the researchers ran the simulation and watched as the dinosaur was put through its paces. The episode focuses on a female Coelophysis who must endure a severe drought that tests who will remain to claim the. After finding their simulation matched closely with the real bird, the researchers turned their attention to Coelophysis bauri-a relatively small Triassic species. In their place, the dinosaurs have evolved. The researchers began by developing a generic muscle-driven therapod dinosaur framework, which they tested by simulating the gait of a modern tinamous bird-one that tends to walk much more than fly. To learn more about the role of the tail in locomotion, the researchers used recently developed 3D simulation technology, which are based on computational biomechanics and have been used in a wide variety of applications. In this new effort, the researchers have found evidence that suggests that the tail also was used to help with balance. Of course, his 7-ton mumsy shows up immediately after.Prior research has suggested that the long, heavy tails sported by dinosaurs served mainly to counterbalance their long necks and heavy heads. Cue a baby Tyrannosaurus running in and squealing adorably.

In the Arena Spectacular, the Narrator makes a whole lot of build up to the Tyrannosaurus rex's grand entrance.

This is followed by Al tromping out after her, and out of sight, she screams. for 'The Ballad of Big Al', the scientist lays flowers on Al's grave, and walks off over the hill. Rex chasing a Didelphodon, only for about a hundred Didelphodons to start chasing after it.

It immediately runs off and jumps all over the place.

In one of the title gags, an animator gets annoyed at a living dinosaur model that he's trying to scan for the 3D rendering and tells it to stand still.

The ' No dinosaurs were harmed' sign, accompanied by a pre-rendered dinosaur licking its privates like a dog, then realizing it's being filmed.Utahraptor: 'Chase this dinosaur!' 'Chase that dinosaur!' You'd swear we couldn't act! It's so degrading! The Stinger, featuring a Utahraptor being interviewed while smoking a cigarette and saying, in a really posh British accent, that he found the animators to be the most difficult to work with.Like the production crew filming the animals as if they were actors, or the Earth tremors at the end of the Cretaceous turning out not to be the results of the meteor impact, but a random dromaeosaur construction-worker jackhammering the place. Not really laugh-out-loud funny, more amusing.

The 'Making of.' programs are chock full of gags, spliced in between the more serious scenes of Talking Heads.

Gorgon glaring at Patchi after the latter calls him 'Tiny Arms'. Coelophysis bauri Named by Edward Drinker Cope, 1889 Diet: Carnivore (Prey included insects, fish such as lungfish, small reptiles such as, more commonl.

' Someday, these mammals will go extinct, and we'll have the last laugh.' How wrong you are, Patchi.

John's played-up accent and deadpan delivery make this even more hilarious.
