I read some short article in Science News a few years back that said the Quetzalcoatlus (the biggest of the pterosaurs) could fly non-stop from New York to Sydney, Australia. It's crazy / cool that the newer models have them just walking around on their wings like that when they're not flying. lol

Oh yeah reminder that there's no such thing as a brontosaurus.

Gammatron 64 posted:Also nothing probably ate full grown sauropods while they were still alive because they were so massive. Most adolescents didn't make it to adulthood, but once something like Apatosaurus or Brachiosaurus got to full size, nothing could touch it until it died of age or disease. There's some evidence to suggest that some dinosaurs did hunt the big sauropods. There's tantalising evidence that suggests not only that Allosaurus could get as big as T-Rex but it also hunted in packs. It was certainly way more abundant than other theropods of it's time. Also in South America where sauropods carried on in to the Cretaceous you get some of the largest Carnivores ever discovered.

The bone wars are a really interesting time because you basically have two old mean dudes racing each other to name the most species of dinosaur possible and one-up each other at every turn, plus they didn't really give a gently caress like these days. They'd name a new species from a single bone.

Yeah but they're a little more diligent about it now. Enlightenment-era science was kind of a mess, plenty of dudes didn't get credit for things because nobody gave a poo poo if some rear end in a top hat from Lithuania invented some math proccess first if a bigger name from England, France or Germany arrived at the same point a couple years later. It's not like they had the internet to check up on that poo poo when the discovery first got made, and after the fact everyone just shrugged their shoulders because the English dude was famous and the random dude from Eastern Shitslavia wasnt And thats ignoring the fact that a lot of those dudes were legit autistic and some of them HATED each other.

What we're missing, though, are dinosaur grooming habits. Look, we can all have super hairy bodies, beards, and long hair - but we don't, because we're not goddamn hippies, and neither were the dinosaurs. They lizard-scaped.

I remember watching a lecture which hypothesized that a lot of the species of dinosaurs we're familiar with aren't different species at all, but are actually juvenile or otherwise younger versions of species. For instance, a triceratops is really a young torosaurus.
