    I do think these animals might have had some kind of social behavior but i dont know if it would really be constant packs...i personally would just speculate that they mated for life and travelled together as pairs, with the only other pack members being their young which would leave at some point in subadult stage I agree that argentinosaurus would require a big group but that formation doesnt just have argentinosaurus, like you mentioned it has a lot of smaller sauropods, limaysaurus and choconsaurus are around same size if not smaller than one mapusaurus but they also still are beefy animals they would provide sufficient amount of food and judging from how ecosystems work they would also be more common than argentinosaurus as smaller animals tend to be more common overall, also another key important thing is the way sauropods reproduced, sauropods laid eggs and abandoned them but they laid LOTS of them, the biomass of sauropods in ecosystem would definitely have a lot if not more young than adult sauropods and for a big part of their life these sauropod as young would only rely in hiding, maybe outrunning (if they were more slender built than adult ones) from their predators and most importantly morality rate in population, the more individuals exist the less chance there is for you to become prey and huincul has a lot of sauropod species too Judging from all of this if mapusaurus wasnt solitary it lived in my opinion in small groups consisting of the 2 parents and their growing young and if they formed at some point bigger groups it would just be random congregation in one area of individuals that aim to take down the same argentinosaurus individual....or if they truly were more than one mated pair maybe jt could also be harem, but not a big one, for example one male and two female mapusaurus adults Or they could be territorial too and not hunt together and simply one individual was out for food while the other was back at the territory or hunted separately at the same time and met again together after hunting in the territory like many birds do which simply go hunt alone and come back to the nesting site Or it could be all of those and just depend on situation, if they were nesting they might have done this solitary hunt but still social thing but when not or when their babies were big enough to help they all hunted together or even maybe sometimes males did have 2 instead of 1 females and no doubt there would be many cases where adult mapusaurus would live alone as they either havent found mate yet or their mate died or they are not fully grown and cant mate yet but still are big to live alone like being subadults for example These are just some possibilities i wanted to suggest

    To me it would make sense that the Mapusaurus specialized in taking down Argentinasaurus and other large sauropods. There are prides of lions in the arid parts of Africa that specialize in taking down Elephants and Rhinos. So it honestly makes sense for these gigantosaurids to have a similar specialization to survive in an arid enviranment in Argentina.

      I figure because most big predators don't hunt in packs in today's time -- except for lions. Also they try and locate bones close together and usually they are more spread out. But I really want dinos to be pack hunters as well, it would be so cool.

    Very good video again. I have also thought about the subject of how did the South-American giant theropods hunt the colossal sauropods. Also the idea of huge predators hunting in packs seems so weird and crazy to me but that just might be my tiny mammalian way of thinking. Our modern day land animals have a bit different size scale after all 😅. Btw your way of pronouncing Giganotosaurus was very surprising but in a good way. It seems everybody pronounces it differently 😁. I personally like to say giga like in gigabit, cus as a Finn it's more natural to pronounce it that way.

  • @IcepickedWalrus
    @IcepickedWalrus 2 дні тому

    I find the idea of large theropod dinosaurs practicing pack hunting to be very fitting. Especially when there were such massive sauropods roaming the lands. Hopefully, some more finds support an even greater range for such practices amongst other species 🤞🏼

    At the beginning of the video, around the @0:05 mark Dino-gen makes an elementary blunder by mentioning "Sauropods" when clearly he meant "Theropod" since the dinos he mentioned are flesh-eaters. Elementary mistake that every elementary student (especially them) knows. But of course it's a harmless error since Dino-gen clearly knows his dinos. Bye.

    Is it not possible that rather than hunting such massive animals they were merely scavengers of these larger breasts as I suspect one dead and decaying argentinasaurus would feed many mouths for many days in the same way the dead whale carcus feed an large assortment of animals at all levels.... In the modern world large fully adult animals of many species are too large for existing predators to tackle.... Ie. Bull buffalo or elephant ... But upon there death out would be a free for all....
