Feather dino gang please rise up...strike down the revisionist scaled dragon lizard dino lovers...
:yes-sicko: Feather dinos are infinitely cooler because evidently they actually existed. Sorry not sorry
There's evidence both for feathered and scaly species. There's tyranosaurids who definitely had feathers, there were also later species that were definitely scaly. Feather gang's cooler, though :bird-bouncy:
oh for sure, I was thinking of the Jurassic Park depiction of velociraptors etc, which to be fair, has a perfect in-universe excuse of including lizard/amphibian dna, and being a rough reconstruction.
Feather dinos are infinitely cooler because they actually exist right now.
Th can literally just obsess over the crocodilians from the time, never understood the hassle.
Geese and swans are legit assholes, but fucking raptors are scary as shit. Dinos with feathers are still badass.
I got to take care of my mom's dinosaurs for a bit. They definitely run like they're raptors.
I'd love to see raptors goose-stepping like a rooster trying to show off.
Geese are tiny relative to humans and have no meaningful way of hurting us but they're still scary as fuck
anyone who doesn't have a healthy fear-based respect towards chickens has never had chickens
They may actually be more terrifying, at least in certain contexts. Everyone knows what a scaly monster with steak knives hanging out of its mouth is, and could quickly spot and avoid the danger if you actually encountered it. The more modern reconstructions with signifigant feathering and teeth covered by lips look much different, and less obviously predatory, it would be awful to run into one and think haha funny herbivore, then be eaten.
This all works on the hypothetical of time travel or a jurassic park scenario, where the fear is something irl. The scaly dinosaurs are much more of a movie monster.
I feel like raptors can be equally scary with feathers, but like T Rex... Idk
yeah clearly someone's never seen a blue heron commit cold-blooded murder
The Virgin dirt-with-footprints preserver vs the Chad "oi that rival paleontology team might complete to unearth these bones during the night so we better blast them"
If any nerd tries to tell you that dinosaurs had feathers, throw them in a locker and tell them to watch Jurassic Park
I like when they’re not sure if they’ve discovered a new species or dinosaur or it’s a juvenile of an known dinosaur and they argue back and forth
old paleontologists thought the dinos were super slow and lethargic
Yeah you stick it to those underpaid scientists. Take down big archaeology.
