The reason why I say this is because... dragon documentaries don't get enough attention nor haven't been made for years since the last documentary that came out in 2004.

Yes, I'm aware that they don't exist due to no fossil evidence....but that doesn't mean they should be avoided or ignored cuz mind you there have been documentaries about certain creatures that combines real life biology, evolution, and mythology all together that makes the series more interesting,

This is why it makes sense for Silverback Films to tackle a speculative documentary on Draconology because the project mirrors the evolutionary, nature-documentary format that the studio has perfected. Vikasrao’s work reimagines dragons as scientifically grounded evolutionary missing links rather than pure magic.

Silverback Films is renowned for executing mega-hit natural history series like Life on Our Planet and The Dinosaurs. Draconology fits their signature style of treating mythological creatures as an unrecorded branch of the tree of life that evolved and adapted to different climates alongside earth's natural fauna while existing in a era that's becomes a lost chapter in the tree of life....Exploring dragons this way allows the studio to dive into believable speculative biology. Fans and researchers have praised Vikasrao's lore for its highly plausible biological explanations for how dragons might have evolved to achieve traits like flight and fire-breathing.

Which could bring speculative documentaries to a whole new level of education and entertainment but it depends on the outcome in the future 🤷.

Making a speculative documentary about "Neo-dinosaurs" (descendants of non-avian dinosaurs evolving after the Mesozoic and coexisting with mammals) is a suitable idea for Silverback Films to create, since It builds directly on their visual and storytelling success with megahit projects like Life on Our Planet and The Dinosaurs.

Building on their past series that weave massive evolutionary arcs (like the Cenozoic evolution and the Cretaceous empires), a speculative docuseries serves as a thrilling "next episode". It explores how the tree of life might continue its cycle of adaptation and diversification.

Since Silverback films specializes in mirroring modern natural history documentaries (like Our Planet) with prehistoric creatures, placing them in recognizable ecosystems. Speculative "future evolution" allows them to use real behaviors, current ecological niches, and evolutionary biology to predict how surviving dinosaurs would adapt to modern or changing climates.....and besides Silverback has already invested years developing cutting-edge digital assets, behavioral models, and rigging. Extending this workflow into speculative biology allows them to leverage their massive technology and design investments for a fresh project, which could give a new perspective on cryptozoology and build to future projects that focus on other creatures outside of prehistory.... such as unveiling the origins of dragons or exploring the evolution that dwells on the animals of tomorrow

I know some or alot will disagree, but this is only a what-if idea..... for now it depends in the future 🤷.

They too deserve a toob of their own since there's already a toob that features baby versions of the figures 🤷.

Now the reason why I say this is because....since Safari Ltd is a toy company that creates a vast majority of creatures of the animal kingdom, prehistory, and mythology......it makes sense for them to create "animals of speculative evolution" because it aligns with their mission of fostering curiosity and education of the natural world allowing them to spark imaginative, forward-thinking discussions about biology and evolution when it comes to wildlife.

These speculative figures could encourage creative and environmental awareness while expanding beyond their traditional, scientifically accurate, and highly detailed animal toys. Now, I know some may disagree and say that far-fetched, but if safari is able to create a vast majority of figures based on creatures of myth and legend like Dragons and Cryptids, then they would have no problem creating creatures of speculative zoology.

Which one of these creatures would win ?

Basilisk abilities: Venomous Bite, piercing mounted claws, constriction.

Leviathan abilities: Whirlpool & Tsunamis, Water Manipulation, Crushing Tentacles, Abyssal Adaptation.

I would actually love to see safari's version of the Kasai Rex, Mokele M'bembe and Burunnjor 💯🔥

Me personally I would go for a Prehistoric Dragon as a call back of Animal Planet's Dragon Documentary 💯🔥

You know what's funny, eversince I had these as a kid I always wonder why Safari included non feathered dinosaurs (such as T-rex, Apatosaurus, Chasmosaurus, Pachycephalosaurus Etc).

Like seriously It makes sense for Safari Ltd to feature feathered dinosaur figurines in their Toob sets because it reflects modern scientific consensus that many, if not most, dinosaurs were covered in feathers and the sad thing is that they already had figurines that represents dinosaurs with feathers.... WHICH COULD HAVE BEEN PART OF THE TOOB FROM THE START SMH.

That is why I made my own version that actually represents and features actual feathered dinosaurs so that way it doesn't look like they made it just for a quick buck 😭💀.

I decided to create fan made versions of toobs that safari could have made years ago since that aren't that many within the prehistoric line.

1. Carnegie Dino Toob

2. Feathered Dino Toob (my version)

3. Triassic Toob

4. Cenozoic Toob

5. Prehistoric Life Toob (my version)

You know something.....I just realized that eversince Safari created the carnivorous dino toob in 2005, that still exist today,

it took them years to finally create a toob for herbivorous dinosaurs while knowing they already have established plant eating dinosaur figurines thats been around since the 90s-2000s

So the real question is.....WHAT WAS THE HOLD UP 🤨?????
