3 years, 6 months ago3 years, 6 months agoI was recently watching a TV series and they said that cerotopsians actually used there frills not to protect the neck but yo tell the different species apart. This is because of how thin the frill is. Does anyone agree or diaggree?
It is true that they were thin and used to recognize each other, however they were also like the frills of boa snakes, used to flash and intimidate predators and threats. They would make them look larger and stronger and could fill with blood to give them more color, like a stegosaurus’ dorsal plates. It’s also believed that carnivores loved to eat the frills, as they were rich in blood and gave lots of energy and nutrients.
Also what tv series? I’m always looking for new documentaries
l agree they weren’t for defence. not only were they too thin, but they also started developing late, when it should be in the young stages of their lives that they need the most protection. More importantly, rach species had a wildly different frill and horn arrangement, which wouldn’t make sense from a defensive point of view in which they would all settle on the same, most protective pattern. However, it makes total sense from a species recognition point of view. There were over 50 species of these things on a land area the size of Arabia, so you need to tell apart your species from those massive varied herds
@a-trilobite did you watch Dinosaur Planet, Paleoworld, Planet Dinosaur and When Dinosaurs Roamed America?
@a-trilobite and the whole Walking With series? l just found out it’s way bigger than l thought
I have
@a-trilobite unfortunately it has left Netflix recently and you could only watch it on there. it is called Dino hunt. there each half an hour long and four episodes
@leonardo-miranda I have watched whole walking with series except the walking with beasts. I watched when dinosaurs roamed America but only one episode with zuniceratops. @a-trilobite you could watch it on YouTube maybe.
I did but all I found was a 2008 video with Android quality. Still watched it though.
I saw it, but it’s a 2008 video with Android quality.

@a-trilobite Walking with dinosaurs……. Walking with beasts…… walking with monsters…… The ballad of Big Al: a Walking With special……. Sea Monsters: a Walking with special……… Walking with cavemen…….. chased by dinosaurs: a Walking with special…….. Prehistoric Park……. that’s all of it. check if you missed one out
8 SERIES IN TOTAL. Aside from the 3 main ones

l felt the same way when l found that out a month ago
Sea Monsters is great. that’s where they show an orthocone
I have watched Big Al all 20 min episodes of walking with dinos and I have watched sea monsters @leonardo-miranda I just don’t like the way they leave it on a cliff hanger. also I’ve watched giant claw and land of giants but not the others.
that ending also left me on edge
Planet dinosaur by bbc is really good
They should film a new one with the newer spinosaurus
