Look at this thing, absolutely crazy. This thing lived right at the end of the dinos, with T rex and Triceratops, in the same environment. Those mighty claws were for busting open ant hives and it used its tongue to slurp em. The teeth were tiny and lovely and barely did nothing.

They also found a toucanosaurus

Looks goofy as gently caress, but I imagine could slit you open in a heartbeat.

seems like pterasaurs evolved from a kind of tree dwelling archosaur and went through a gliding phase before eventually becoming immensely gigantic and powerful. Like if bats became 40' across.

Alvarezsaurs have been known for years, get with the times.

Now this I'd like to hear more about, did they actually finally find a possible pterosaur ancestor?

I wonder what is like to be the first of one's species to learn how to fly.

I guess no one would gently caress the non-flyers anymore so that would speed the process up.

Birds are birds when they are alive but upon their deaths and sufficient decrepitude they become dinosaurs. Yes, that even includes that box of frozen wings in your freezer

An dinosaur is walking through the jungle and gets a painful splinter in his foot
He is moaning in pain, just when an ant walks up. The ant sees his problem, and says, "Hey, I'll pull the splinter out of your foot, if you let me gently caress you up the rear end."
The dinosaur laughs a bit and agrees. So the ant climbs along his foot, and is able to pull hard enough to remove the splinter. The dinosaur is immediately relived, and thanks the ant. The ant says, "You made a deal - now I get to gently caress you up the rear end!" The dinosaur laughs again and says, "Yep, a deal is a deal - go ahead!"
So the ant climbs up the dinosaur's hind leg, goes under his tail, and starts to do his business. Meanwhile, a monkey has been up in a tree watching this whole thing, and throws a coconut at the dinosaur, hitting him squarely in the head.
The dinosaur then rears up on his hind legs and lets out a huge yell of pain.
The ant screams, "Take it all, Bitch!"

I wonder if paleontologists get really shat off that whenever they google search their current dinosaur of interest, it just brings up links to the fantasy versions of the dinosaurs in Ark Survival Evolved with features like "Rubbing the duckosaurus's head makes a special lubrication goo come out their butt that can power UFOs"

I assume these "scientists" just put dino bones together in different ways and come up with new dinosaurs so they can keep getting paid to smoke weed all day and play counterstrike in a nice office.

This is pretty close to the early days of archaeology, not gonna lie. Just replace weed and counterstrike with big cigars and pharmacy cocaine.

You know scientists, they probably just saw this little fellow has a funny mouth and long tongue and said, oh well they are ants. For all we know these dudes are rear end all day every day and evolved that mouth to get past the huge buttcheeks of the other dinosaurs.

Dinosaurs are bullshit now with the feathers and whatnot. They used to be cool and scary, now they're just overgrown turkeys. Fuckin paleontologists can suck my dick from the back. Tyrannosaurus Rex more like Thanksgivingasaurus. Gonna go to the natural history museum, crack me a big rear end wishbone.

Nothing has been made less cool by me growing up than dinosaurs. If I have kids I'd rather they get into trains or magic tricks or something less uncool than Big Birds great grandpappy

Scientist cowards will never admit most dinosaurs ate rear end every day even though it's obvious just from looking at the fossils. 90% of dinos are found in the rear end eating pose, to pretend it's just an accident of the fossil record is ridiculous

"They" don't know poo poo. They found some bones with a beak and some rear end in a top hat in khakis and a hat pulled the ant-eating dino theory out of his rear end. I bet the creature didn't look anything like the drawing, ate beans, and lived in the 1800s.
