the coolest dinosaur was without a doubt gasosaurus because its a boring as gently caress dinosaur that was so boring they just called it gasosaurus cause it was found in a gas field



That's not boring. Big enough to gently caress you up, small enough to get in your house.

Yeah I like Parrots kinda. They're assholes, but they have a right to be assholes cause people treat em like pets and amusement by keeping em in cages. Fuckers just wanna chill.

trex aint even the goofiest looking guy out there. i can't remember the name, but the LA natural history museum has a skeleton of something that was about the same size of a rex but its arms were even more pathetic. like little tiny flippers or chicken wings on a 15 foot tall dino.

e. VVV yeah carnotaurus, that's the one



Pretty funny this dude still has full sized scapulae to go with those vestigial armlets.

I hope you're not joking because this is so exiting. I bet those poor scientists don't have enough funding :( Drug making is sucking all the money away from important projects like this

It's kinda funny how Western societies, the US in particular perhaps, took up the style of the Romans based on ancient ruins where the paint had chipped off centuries ago. If the people behind buildings such as the Capitol had really followed in the footsteps of the Romans, they would at the very least have painted the whole thing red, white, and blue, while the Statue of Freedom would have been painted in naturalistic colors. The Statue of Liberty and Mount Rushmore too I suppose.
