🔴 LIVE at the ZOO: World of Dinosaurs!

Hi everyone and welcome to the World of Dinosaurs at Paradise Wildlife Park. Today we're going to be going around a tour around the World of Dinosaurs on World Dinosaur Day. So we're going to follow the dino footprints in. Thank you all for joining. And we're going to start the tour by Dino Day Care. Now obviously it is closed at the minute but what you have in here is what it says. We have loads of interactive things, some baby dinosaurs in there that even move, all animatronics and it's really fun and engagement for all the kids. So we're going to follow it around and go through the teeth and follow the footprints. So thank you everyone for joining. If you can please share this post, tag your friends and family, anyone that loves dinosaurs. It is great for people of all ages. Trust me adults will love it as well. All of our dinosaurs here are animatronics. They all move, breathe, weirdly enough and make lots of sound. So entering the trail, our first dinosaur is the Pteranodon flying above us just here. The Pteranodon means winged lizard. So Pteranodons were an order of flying reptiles that lived during the time of the dinosaurs. The Pteranodon ranged in size from a few inches to over 40 feet. They had hollow bones, were lightly built and had small bodies. They had large brains and great eyesight as well. We just see him here flying above us. So Pteranodons were carnivores. They ate fish which they caught at the surface of the oceans. They also had mollusks, crabs, plankton sometimes, some species insects and scavenged dead animals on land. So we say dinosaurs are similar to what you find vultures in Africa. So we have some Pteranodon eggs there and some babies. One of them's taking a little bit of a tumble. We're going to move on to another Pteranodon nursing her chicks and we'll follow the trail around. So the trail is a one-way system so we're going to be sticking left around the world of dinosaurs and our next dinosaur is a carnivorous one and you may see it and that is the Baryonyx. So if you're enjoying this stream please donate. We're currently closed to the public due to the COVID-19 and will be closed for the foreseeable future so any donations using Facebook stars or you go to our Facebook fundraiser they'll help us out massively. So the Baryonyx means heavy claw as you can see and they were a carnivorous dinosaur with long narrow crocodile-like jaws. They had 96 serrated teeth and a foot long claw on each of their hands making them master fishermen. Huge claws. They measured up to nine and a half meters in length and weighed more than two tons and they are awesome and moving on to the next dinosaur. So obviously to our right we have some dino eggs and on to our left one of the largest dinosaurs ever the Brachiosaurus and they are giant. So as I said all of our animal dinosaurs move they're all animatronics but they are very lifelike. We have a couple of baby Brachiosaurus hatching there we are and we have a baby just there look at him. So Brachiosaurus was one of the tallest and largest dinosaurs yet found. It had a long neck small head and relatively short thick tail. Brachiosaurus was about 85 feet to 26 meters long and weighed around 33 to 88 tons. Brachiosaurus walked on four legs unlike the other Brachiorhids and unlike most dinosaurs its front legs were longer than its hind legs. Brachiosaurus was a herbivore, a plant eater, it was a sauropod whose intelligence was among the lowest of the dinosaurs surprisingly. So you can see it's taller front legs and shorter back legs. That's the baby Brachiosaurus for us. He's awesome. So anyone that has just joined the stream, hello and welcome to the world of dinosaurs. Our next dinosaur we're going to be approaching is actually found on our dino train. So we have a train that goes around the center of the woodland that we walk around so you'll see the track here. So obviously the train isn't running today and that is our next dinosaur which is the Dilophosaurus. So this one is triggered when the train goes past but we have another one at the end so I'll talk more about the Dilophosaurus at the end of the trail. So we'll follow it around. So if you want to share this post, spread the word, we hope you're enjoying it so far. Here is our next dinosaur, the Plesiosaurus and they're awesome. This is its habitat behind us. We've got mother and baby just here, distinctive blue eyes and they're massive aquatic dinosaurs. So Plesiosaurus was not actually a real dinosaur, they are in fact marine reptiles which can be divided into two groups, the long necks and the short necks. Much like modern day sea turtles, they breed there and therefore would likely have laid their eggs on beaches before returning to the oceans. Plesiosaurus can reach lengths of up to five meters and weighed up to 450 kilograms. So we're going to say bye to the little baby and move on and we're coming up to one of the most famous dinosaurs next which everyone will know, the Triceratops and they are massive. The baby's hatch is huge. So the name Triceratops means three-horned face. So the Triceratops was one of the last dinosaurs to roam the earth, only going extinct in the late jurassic after the meteor strike. It needed its three horns to protect itself from the Tyrannosaurus Rex which is most probably the most famous dinosaur of all time as they lived in the same period. It is believed that fully grown Triceratops were about eight meters in length, three meters in height and weighed anywhere between six and twelve tons. They're huge. Probably compare the Triceratops to the rhinos of today and they're great. Now the next one you might recognise from a certain film franchise is the Indoraptor. And I'm sure most people that have visited the world of dinosaurs at Paradise Wildlife Park would know this guy as he scares a lot of the kids. And look at those teeth. He's awesome. So the Indoraptor is a hybrid species designed by scientists in Jurassic World to give visitors a thrill since they were no longer impressed with the Tyrannosaurus Rex. Indoraptor had the intelligence of a Barolossoraptor, a heightened sense of smell, night vision and incredible speed. Basically it was the ultimate killer machine and ever the reason that we should probably not biologically engineer dinosaurs. Look at that. So thank you everyone for tuning in so far. If you'd like to send us stars as a form of donation to help Paradise Wildlife Park and the world of dinosaurs while we are currently closed that would be incredibly appreciated. So the next dinosaur we come up to is on our right and it is the Oviraptor. So it actually means egg robber. So Oviraptors got their name from the belief that they stole other dinosaurs eggs. However more recent evidence suggests that the eggs were found with their own. They are thought to have been caring parents and used feathers to incubate their own eggs. They're around two meters long and weighed about 30 kilograms. There are a couple hatched just there in front of us. Very unique species of dinosaur. I'm moving along the trail. You might see a certain one in the distance over there that we'll come and see very shortly but first we're coming to a dinosaur attack. So we've got Velociraptors and the Iguanodon. There we are. The Iguanodon was discovered in Sussex England. So everyone from England hello. Its fossils were found in bone beds which suggests it was a herding animal much like an elephant in today's world. It weighed around three and a half tons and reached about 10 meters in length and this one is going through quite the wars. The Velociraptors, there are some at the end of the trail so I'll talk more about Velociraptors at the end. And we get a better look here at the Triceratops. Absolute beast. How awesome. And now for the world's most popular dinosaur, the Tyrannosaurus Rex. And a famous spot around the world of dinosaurs where everyone gets their photos taken with the Rex behind it. If you ever do come up in the future after COVID, make sure you get your pictures and post them online. He is awesome, look at that. Huge. So the Tyrannosaurus Rex means tyrant lizard. T-Rex was an apex predator meaning top of the food chain. It can be compared to the Jaguar today as they both have both alone hunters with an outstanding bite pressure. You can tell that huge jaw, those massive teeth. The Tyrannosaurus Rex measured up to 13 meters in length, 4 meters at the hip and weighed up to 8 tons. They had very small hands which a lot of people make fun of. I'm sure they wouldn't be making fun of them in today's world if they were still around. Awesome, look at that. I hope you're enjoying the stream so far. We hope to see you as soon as all this is over, back at the park. Not only for the world of dinosaurs but our animals as well. Thank you everyone that's tuned in to all of our live streams. So far they've been amazing and we've had incredible support so thank you all. So the next dinosaur, the Spinosaurus. What's known from that spine like back, here it is. Massive. I'm just going to get a view of its head there. The Spinosaurus means spiny lizard. Larger than the Tyrannosaurus Rex, it may have been the largest carnivorous meat-eating dinosaur ever. Studies estimate that it was about, it was around 15 meters in length and weighed anywhere between 7 and 20 tons. Massive. They look awesome. It's actually in Jurassic Park 3 for everyone that's mentioning that. You can guess right. It's quite cool as you go along the trail the tail swings over your head. It's quite creepy when it does. So that's the Spinosaurus for you. Wicked dinosaur. Now moving along. There's a mother and its baby here, Stegosaurus. They're very popular for their backs. Spikes sticking out of them. Tails with the spikes on. So you've got baby here and mother. So the Stegosaurus means roofed lizard. The Stegosaurus tail is quite agonising. Each tail is about one and a half meters bigger than some of you, which is absolutely massive. So you wouldn't want to be hit by one of them. On average a fully grown Stegosaurus was around 9 meters in height and up to nearly 5 tons in weight. Baby here, very vocal. Sorry if you're struggling to hear me. They're very loud. Spikes at the end of the tail. Obviously the horticulture around the site gives it that real Jurassic feel to it. It really feels like you're walking among dinosaurs. Now this is my personal favourite along the trail, the Conotosaurus. Black bull. And they actually mean Conotosaurus, meat eating bull. So the Conotosaurus is thought to have lived in a cave, very similar to what we've seen today. They both have horns on their heads and a thick muscular neck used for ramming into other animals, also dinosaurs. Estimates suggest that the Conotosaurus was around 8 meters in length and weighed two and a half tons. Similar to the T-Rex with tiny little arms. So for anyone that has just tuned in, thank you so much. And don't forget to share and tag anyone that may want to watch this. And if you are enjoying our streams that we have been doing during lockdown, please support us by sending stars in as all the money raised goes towards the upkeep of our animals and the site itself. So now we're at the Pachycephalosaurus, means thick headed lizard. So as you can see, those Pachycephalosaurus names come from their dense skull, which were over 10 inches thick. Their dome shaped head may have been used in battle against rival members of its species or to ram against predators for protection. They measured in at 5 meters in length and weighed around 500 kilograms. This one here is being a bit vocal, look at him. Now coming up, this beast of a dinosaur is the Ankylosaurus. Look at him, wow. So if you've never been to wild dinosaurs, you've got to come. We're based in Hertfordshire, UK at Paradise Wildlife Park and there's so much to do here and it's a great family day out. Don't forget that once this is all over to come and check us out as we all love it here. I'm sure of it. So the Ankylosaurus means fused lizard. They were the largest of the tank-like armoured dinosaurs. Their bodies were virtually impenetrable to predators and the bony club on the end of their tail would have been a devastating defence weapon. There it is just there. Scientists estimated it reached a length of 9 meters and weighed around 6 tonnes. So they're amazing. We're going to follow it around. Velociraptor skeleton here. It's a big few people. Now to our right we're going to get a better look at the Ankylosaurus and we've got another view of the Pachycephalosaurus just here. As we follow the trail around we're actually coming near to the end of the trail now. So above us again as we come around the windy paths you see the Pteranodons flying high and then we follow the path around and again one of the most famous dinosaurs in the world as we come up to it in the dense bamboo bushes. The Velociraptor. Look at him. There's quite a few of them here so we'll stop at the next one. The Velociraptor means swift Caesar so they played a large role in Jurassic Park movies was often shown inaccurately. Rather than being a larger human-sized dinosaur the Velociraptor was around the size of a turkey. Velociraptors had feathers but could not fly. It's thought that all of today's birds are descendants of dinosaurs and the category from Australia funny enough is often called the modern day Velociraptor. Now for anyone that knows they will know what we're talking about. They're very dangerous birds. And here's the Velociraptor. I hope you recognise that call from the Jurassic Park films. Finally coming up to our final dinosaur which I mentioned earlier which you can see from our dino train. The Dilophosaurus. Look at this guy. So I'm going to get out of the way because this he actually spits water which a lot of you may know but I don't really want to get wet. So Dilophosaurus means two crested lizard. There we are squirting the water. So although movies would have believed that Dilophosaurus could spit poison at its attackers what was previously thought to be poison sacks were actually displaced teeth. Now obviously we're not going to get it to squirt displaced teeth at you because that would be very painful. So we went for a nicer option and squirt water instead. So Dilophosaurus were up to six meters long and weighed 400 kilograms. There's still very little known about the species including where to place them even in the tree of life. They are very cool. And we're sorry for everyone that has been covered in water from this guy that has visited the world of dinosaurs. And that everyone is the last dinosaur. So usually we would go through the dinosaur but as I mentioned today we are closed and we are closed for the foreseeable future due to COVID-19. So all the support that you show us online we want to thank you so much. It means the world to us and it is great that you're supporting us so much and donating and sharing our videos and all of our content. Liking it, it means the world. So if you did enjoy this stream please feel free to send us Facebook stars or donate to our Facebook fundraiser as it all goes to the upkeep of our park and the animals that our keepers are caring for every single day. They're essential workers. So that is me and the guys here at Paradise Wildlife Park and the world of dinosaurs. We want to thank you so much and we're glad you enjoyed the stream and have a great day. We hope to see you very soon.
