Sea Monsters (2003) Accuracy Review | Dino Documentaries RANKED #7

i mean mosasaur's are a lot different from monitor lizards, so i wouldn't completely rule out the possibility of pods

You could say this documentary doesn’t hold water.

Yeah I know something landing on you like that with the force essentially of a car falling on you I’m pretty sure that would break straight through chain mail if it had a sharp blade attached but yeah the chain mail he was using was not good stuff it didn’t have rivets and also given that he was keeping it under water it’s most likely made of either aluminum or stainless steel which is weaker than the carbon steel that you can use all those some shark suits are made of titanium but if it’s butted mail it’s not very good

great white grow to be 35 feet long

Trex outdated

Yeah this was honestly my favorite doc and always will be.

In the German Version Nigel actually states that the top predator in the Ordovician is a Cameroceras. So good research! 👍🏽

I would give everything for a remastered version with accurate models and updated info

I LOVE Walking With Sea Monsters!

My favorite thing to watch.

My favorite animals are the Mosasaurs

this is my childhood!

I have a suspicion the mosasaurs in a group might be based on komodo dragons and its more of a feeding frenzy/mob type thing. Or it's purely for coolness

If you want to know how stupid I was back when I was 7, I actually thought nigel went back in time for these documentaries

I LOVE DINO FLESHHH

Don’t you hate it when a documentary won’t say the name of the animal it’s showing?
Btw I personally loved this paleo doc it was such a thrill to watch

i love the whalerus.
whalerus is my fav animal now.

But dunkleosteus was a very ancient fish lips may have not evolved for fish at the time or the possibility that it didn’t have lips

Damn, 22k subs in around a year and a half. Nice job

I love how you always use Jaws scenes for sea creatures doc videos, I'm a big Jaws fan too.

They shrunk the dunk

I was so obsessed with it as a child it Is kinda hard for me to accept that it’s not actually that accurate now I’m older. and shoutout to the MUSIC TRACK, THE MUSIC IN THIS IS GODLY

Not on my watch








You figure out when I said this

only a year later he has 24,900 subs.

bruhhh I loved this series

Damn if we had only known that dunks wasn’t strange looking as was. Now it’s derpy looking

Man, dunkleo sure aged well

It’s good to see dunkleosteus was depicted accurately for what we knew at the time, although I do hope we get to see a new depiction of it now that we understand it was much shorter in length than previously thought

When Nigel grabs the Orthoceras by its shell, it swims in the opposite direction because it is like a squid I assume. WTF. I love this documentary btw, I've watched it a hundred times and it is one of the reasons I love paleontology that much. What a great video, love your content mate.

I wouldn't say this show is very awesomebro as much as it is an attempt to show the audience how wondrous the prehistoric worlds can be. Like if The Crocodile Hunter were going after the marine predators of those times.

I really like this one more than the other Nigel Marven specials as it has a sense of adventure, the aquatic environment and sea crew makes it seem more believable than just watching them plod about on land and there are some obscure ones here that get a chance for some attention and spotlighting. Also it feels less sombre and more lively than the Kenneth Branagh narrated documentaries.

But B+ isn't bad

Ashame the shark didn't pop its head in the cage and say "nigel".

Well Dunkleosteus actually has as far as we know, thee greatest bite force of any creature that's existed on Earth. So far lol, you never know

But it's estimated to be anywhere from 75,000 to approximately 95,000psi. Which is beyond frightening when you think about it. Mind the fact it ate over heavily armoured plaxkodermes means it makes sense it would need incredible muscles in its jaw.

As with Chased By Dinosaurs, an enjoyable documentary to watch. Not the best, but still good. Nigel continues to be a good host despite being a threat to change the future. But all good content for sure. Good review again Red Raptor Writes, keep up your informative content, stay safe and have a great day.

I can maybe provide some help here? So Tim Haines and Paul Chambers, who helped make the Walking With… stuff, released a book a while back that detailed every creature covered in these shows, for the most part. It helps with identifying what is what. The orthocone is confirmed as Cameroceras and the sea scorpion is Megalograptus.

How long is it gonna take him to realize in the future that the Donk was actually 13.5

By the way the name of that creature is actually sea scorpion I am not joking look it up

I didn’t know homestar runner was doing dinosaur reviews

Great whites can grow bigger than 20 feet

For being 20 years old this still looks absolutely incredible

I like the fictional Liopleurodon the most. 25 meters of awesomeness.

When i seen this documentary for the first time, i didn't belived that dunkleosteus is a fish, and thought that he is marine reptile, because he didn't had "right form of tail fin"

What’s the difference between Eurypterids and Arachnids?.

If I had a nickel for when I hear about Squamata members living and or hunting in groups, I'd have 2 nickels which isn't a lot but it's weird it happens twice

Chased by Sea Monsters is my absolute favourite Nigel Marvin special, especially the nighttime Liopluerodon footage...my second favourite is Prehistoric Park, which is corny as hell but it's a guilty pleasure...

I know it’s a bit awesome bro, but I simply can’t resist to watch It. It’s just so entertaining

i watched that documentary so many times since i was like 5 and it’s what inspired my love for aquatic dinosaurs. holds a special place in my heart 💯

The estimated bite force of Dunkleosteus being 1100 lbs is somewhat accurate, however the tip of its fangs/plates could generate a bite force of up to 80,000 psi.
