To the delight of many, Prehistoric Planet came back this year for a second season, bringing with it a whole cast of new and returning maniraptoran dinosaurs. How do these depictions line up with the latest science? I discuss this in my review.

Speculative reconstruction of the mysterious theropod Imperobator antarcticus from the Maastricht of Antarctica. A fragmented leg and teeth of this animal were found in the Snow Hill Formation (James Ross Island). Initially, they were attributed to dromaeosaurid (the dinosaur was nicknamed "Naze dromaeosaurid" in honor of the place of discovery), despite the absence of a sickle-shaped claw. In 2019, the taxon finally received an official name meaning "imperial warrior from Antarctica". He was excluded from dromaeosaurids, referred to basal deinonychosaurs. Judging by the remains, it grew to the size of giant dromaeosaurids of the Utahraptor type. Teeth found with bones are typical of predatory maniraptorans, although the mere association with leg bones hardly confirms the carnivory of the animal.

Imperobator
Imperobator — рід тероподів з групи Paraves, що мешкали під час маастрихтського етапу пізньої крейди на території сучасної Антарктиди. До нього належить єдиний вид, I. antarcticus, знайдений в острівній формації Сноу-Хілл. У 2019 році автори опису припустили, що Imperobator був приблизно такого ж розміру, як і Utahraptor.

Imperobator
Tumblr media
Imperobator is a paravian theropod from the Late Cretaceous of Antarctica. Most of the body is unknown, but it is estimated that Imperobator was around 2 m tall. This shows that it exhibited gigantism, a trait not often seen among paravians. Despite prior assignment to Dromaeosauridae, Imperobator has since been assigned to the clade Paraves due to certain characteristics that differ from those of dromaeosaurids, including the lack of a sickle claw. Based on evidence from other paravians, Imperobator likely had a feathery covering on most of its body. It was probably carnivorous, however it is unclear whether it scavenged or hunted its prey.

In the far south of the planet, on the islands of the Antarctic peninsula, winter brings months of freezing temperatures. Here too, being part of a family brings benefits. A thermal camera reveals a huddle of glowing bodies. Imperobator: hunters. Like most dinosaurs, they are warm-blooded, but to stay warm, they need a lot of food, so they must make a kill every few days if they can.

This is just so fucking cool man, there's not much more to say lol. I love when dinosaur documentaries do shit like this.

The Antarctica chase, a short but intense segment, the best part for me was the overhead shot of the Morrosaurus fleeing and than the pack of Imperobators flying out of the treeline after it. Gave a good sense of dread for the little guy.

Islands was a good start to Prehistoric Planet Season 2! 
Kind of surprised we didn't start with Hatzegopteryx, kind of like a Season end to Season beginning transition. Zalmoxes was a nice way to start though. Wonder what that pterosaur was at the start? Also yeah, animals hop on rafts like that all the time. It's one way they can spread to new places.
Tethyshadros vs Hatzegopteryx was probably my favourite of the Europe segments, always nice to see the creepy giant giraffe storks in action. Should mention that Tethyshadros was found to be from earlier than the Maastrichtian stage so technically dated, but oh well. If this news somehow was able to drop earlier so it could inform the show, I could see this segment actually playing out pretty much the same. They already have Telmatosaurus models from last season, so yeah.
Was excited to see Simosuchus! Strange, unique crocodilian relative that is portrayed like it's a gopher. The injured Majungasaurus was a nice touch, trying to hunt smaller prey than often depicted doing.
Favourite segment was the Adalatheium one. Loved getting a Mesozoic mammal with the spotlight, also the babies seem to be live action rodents as the stand ins? Huh. Also nicely connected to the larger ecosystem. Like, we got the Majungasaurus, but also Masiakasaurus tried to hunt the cubs, only for itself to be hunted by a Madtsoia. Also seeing how Adalatherium be shown with familiar mammal traits but unique ones as well because it's Gondwanatherian and not close to any modern species.
Imperobator segment wasn't bad but still the weakest, just a theropod hunting ornithopod segment without much special. To be fair though, we don't know much about the species depicted (especially Imperobator, whose classification is just "Paravian"). Also, at least the Morrosaurus doesn't end up like small ornithopods in other documentaries and existed just to be theropod food, lol. 
Hatzeg mating sequence had a lot spoiled and also I was at my limit with the internet but it was still cool to see the full thing! Nice continuity with the Tethyshadros being the prey the male shows, though I wish they explained how his crest and stuff got more colourful.
I think I can guess how it works, but still some clarification in the narration would've been nice. But yeah, was a cool final segment, even if I kind of wanted more based on the Season 1 episode structure. XP
Also can't help but wonder if Magyarosaurus or Paludititan were considered in any concept stages for the episode - I think to really show the strangeness of island dwarfism, seeing small Hateg sauropods would've sold that well.
