Amazing Dinoworld

Amazing Dinoworld (japanese name is Dinosaur Superworld) is a 2019 documentary co-produced by both NHK and Curiosity Stream. It focuses on Mesozoic life.

This documentary provides examples of

• Always a Bigger Fish: In The World of Sea Monsters, an unidentified pliosaur takes down a Spinosaurus.
• Amazing Technicolor Wildlife: The Deinocherius, Avimimus and Zanabazar are all vividly coloured, with the former being bright pink (with its hump being red in females and blue in males), and the latter two shades of bright green and blue. In fact, the latter is actually modelled off an actual bird, the Taiwan Barbet
• Anachronism Stew: The dates given for each segment is 66 million years ago, but most of the fauna in the episodes are from earlier, at minimum of four million.
• Half the Man He Used To Be: Happens to one Xiphactinus courtesy of a ticked off mother mosasaur.
• Mama Bear: The mother Deinocheirus and Mosasaurus.
• Ptero-Soarer: Averted, most of the pterosaurs that do appear are very good with only minor inaccuracies.
• Ridiculously Cute Critter: The baby Troodons and Deinocheirus. The adult Troodon also qualify, in part because of the sounds they make.
• Seldom-Seen Species: Let's see:
  • Zanabazar, Avimimus, Halzkaraptor, and Nanuqsaurus in the first episode.
  • Rugops (Abelisaurus in certain dubs), Azhdarcho, and Desmatochelys in the second.
• Somewhere a Palaeontologist Is Crying: Quite a bit.
  • Most of the theropods have pronated hands to some degree.
  • The tyrannosaurs are all overfeathered, when scientists think they had at most sparse, basal feathering like hair on an elephant. They're also carbon copies of Jurassic Park's, and thus have the inaccuracies it has too (exposed teeth, shrink wrapping, excessive horns).
  • Pachyrhinosaurus has a massive nasal horn, when it was y'know, famous for not having one in lieu of a nasal bump. It also has some feathering on it, which is plausible as suggested by British palaeontologist Mark Witton. Except it's described as fur, which no reptile let alone dinosaur have.
  • The sauropods all have feet that are too elephantine. They should instead have four long toes on each hindfoot with one toe that dangles uselessly. They should also possess five toes on each front foot, two of which don't support the weight, and should possess claws.
  • Protoceratops and Halzkaraptor are both not from the Nemegt Formation where the Mongolian segment takes place.
