T Rex Documentary Summary

Improved Essays
Usually documentaries are the documents that national geographic channel and history channel shows to their audience which are based on facts and techniques that have been used years ago to predict some things like age, size, lineage, height, weight, length etc. of the species that were discovered and recognized in this world. This documentary can get old as there are many discoveries and predictions that are made about different species every day. There were some discoveries that were made in earlier years and based on those facts scientist revels their prediction about age, sex, reason of death, are dinosaurs cold or warm blooded animals etc. in this documentary. They might be right about the predictions that they made during that time …show more content…
Also, we found hair like structure on the body of the dinosaurs which goes from her arm to her tail tip, paleobiologist predicted that that hair like structure are feathers. I think they might be right as a T-rex was said to be the first dinosaur to have a feather and after that all dinosaur from craterous period started having some feather like structure which helped them in flying, protecting their eggs etc. In this documentary they showed hair like structure of a T-rex but didn’t specify what were they used for, its origin or its structure was also not well shown. The biggest question that the paleobiologist was trying to solve in this documentary was what is the reason of the T-rex dying and what is the sex of the T-rex. To find out this two questions they tried many different experiments and showed many modern days’ equipment to calculate the rings around the dinosaur, X- ray machine to see her femur, butcher knives and long knives to cut T-rex internal organs, CAT scan of brain etc. They found that T-rex was very young when she died because the rings that were surrounded by body was around 20 and T-rex are expected to live longer than 30

    After years of debate, scientists now know that dinosaurs were the ancestors of birds, not reptiles. Dr Jakob, along with scores of other palaeontologists, have confirmed that dinosaurs as large as T. rex were covered in feathers rather than scales. " Velociraptors featured quite heavily in the film. We know that there's not a single inch of a velociraptor's body, apart from nails and claws, that wasn't covered in…

    There are a lot of things that need to be taken into consideration when making a documentary film. One common issue that arises with documentary filmmaking is ethical issues. When people go to see documentaries, they are usually looking to be informed on some kind of topic, but some filmmakers might not use the most ethical approach to achieve that goal. Documentaries can “stand for or represent the views of individuals, groups, and institutions” (Nichols, 45). This can lead to issues later, because if a filmmaker’s documentary shows a person in a different light then the way they see themselves, they are not going to be too happy.…

    No matter how many times you've seen the Mosasaurus jump out of the water and devour that great white shark in the trailer, it still takes you aback in the movie. The dinosaurs look amazing and though it's probably not as much of a technical breakthrough compared to the original Jurassic Park in '93, they still look pretty darn good. When Bryce Dallas Howard and Chris Pratt sit down to touch one of the wounded dinosaurs, you can actually see and hear their hands patting the animal. You can clearly see the light reflecting off the Triceratops' horns, the layers of eyelids when the Indominus Rex blinks and the blood dripping from its maw because it's just eaten a few people. It can be argued that the dinosaurs do not look scientifically accurate, but for what they were intended to look like, they look pretty darn real to me.…

    Long Neck Research Paper

    Scientists have long theorized that the long neck of modern-day giraffes evolved to enable them to find more vegetation or to develop a specialized method of fighting. A new study of fossil cervical vertebrae reveals the evolution likely occurred in several stages as one of the animal's neck vertebrae stretched first toward the head and then toward the tail a few million years later. The study's authors say the research shows, for the first time, the specifics of the evolutionary transformation in extinct species within the giraffe family. "It's interesting to note that the lengthening was not consistent," said Nikos Solounias, a giraffe anatomy expert and paleontologist at NYIT College of Osteopathic Medicine.…

    As mentioned above, the two skulls were compared are Proconsul Africanus (an ape skull) and Gracile Australopithecine (a hominid skull). Proconsul Africanus was from Kenya and lived 23.8-5.3 million years ago. However, Gracile Australopithecine was from Ethiopia and lived 5.3-1.8 million years ago. Based on observation the tooth size is different especially in terms of the canine teeth. The ape skull has large canine teeth whereas the hominid skull has small ones.…

    While watching Beast of the Southern Wild I realized when people are secluded from the majority of society they establish their own norms. This makes room for secluded populations to easily disregard any societal standards that conflicts with their own, which can also stem from lack of knowledge. Therefore, when outsiders attempt to invade their space, for any reason, it is natural for them to behave in a hostile manner. Initially, I was under the impression that Hushpuppy, the main little girl in the film, and Wink, Hushpuppy’s father, live in a third world country due ethnocentrism. I could not come to terms with the idea of American citizens living in extreme impoverished conditions.…

    Movies have been around for a very long time and certain characters in different films wear different changes of clothes almost every scene depending on the movie. It can be hard to find every different costume in every movie, so this paper will be over costume design in Transformers: Age of Extinction.

    Essay On Thermoregulation

    • 737 Words
    • 3 Pages

    Thermoregulation is the process of regulating the internal body temperature of animals within a certain range. Endotherms, such as mammals and birds, thermoregulate internally by generating heat from metabolic processes and are able to keep their body temperature high and relatively constant, adapting to the environment to maintain homeostasis. This type of thermoregulation requires a high metabolic rate, that enables organisms to be more physically active without having to rely on the environment, hence increases evolutionary fitness. Ectotherms, such as reptiles and fish obtain heat from the environment and hence have a slower metabolism and can tolerate fluctuations in their internal temperature. Ectotherms thermoregulate by adjusting their behaviour, for example, laying in the sun or submerging themselves in water (Mrowka & Reuter 2016; Griebeler 2013; Grady et al. 2014;…
