Would it be even possible for Cenozoic terrestrial mammals to live side by side with dinosaurs?

Post the cutest dog possible.
>>5082894We should make chihuahua versions of all animals. Just imagine the possibilities
Picked this little girl up today. I have another BC from the same breeder. The one I already have is super affectionate and friendly and was right away. This one was the runt and she is super skittish.The other border collie is super friendly with her but annoyingly so. I'm glad he likes her immediately and i'm not worried at all about him intentionally harming her, but he's stressing her out by being overbearing.She doesn't seem to like me very much. She just wants to lay down in the most secure and dark place she can find. I made up a crate for her earlier and other than taking her out to potty a few times she is perfectly happy at the moment to stay in her crate. Perhaps that will change in a couple of days.
>>5083294Wow. Impressively cute! She will get more comfortable with her new surroundings in time. Best to be patient and let it happen on her time.Do you train your dog to do anything cool or have plans for her?
>>5083297Just as a companion although I am kicking around the idea of getting a small number of sheep to keep up with a pasture and an orchard.My other BC is similarly just a companion, but he's so friendly and driven that I felt he needed a friend. He just turned 1 last week. He can do basic tricks and obedience but he doesn't have a "job" so to speak.It's kind of weird. Every other dog i've ever gotten as a puppy slept with me or bawled if they were crated in another room. She seems content in her crate, and isn't making a peep. The older BC is whimpering for her though. I'm encouraged by how nice he is being to her. I'm annoyed that if I open her crate door he immediately eats her food, which is the exact same puppy chow I JUST transitioned him off of because he wouldn't eat it.

I love these stupid little retards like you wouldn't believe.Imagine keeping an entire farm of these. God why couldn't we live during the time of dinosaurs?

>>5078722>there were no birds when the meteors hitVegavis and Asteriornis hard disagree. Both are within galloanserae (chickens, turkeys, pheasants, ducks, swans, geese), which means the split of galloanserae and neoaves (all birds other than gallonaserans, ratites and tinamous) had happened, and the split from the paleognaths (ratites and tinamous) had happened even earlier based on extanct bird anatomical and molecular evidence. Vegavis and Asteriornis date back to ~70 Mya at the earliest, but molecular estimates give a date for ~90 Mya or earlier for the most recent common ancestor of all living birds, which makes sense if you look at the fact that galloanserans and paleognaths have to diverge before these fossils.In other words, modern birds share a common ancestor dating to ~90 Mya. The asteroid strikes at ~66 Mya. Quite the gap during which modern birds' ancestors existed, survived and diversified into both ground-dwelling and water-dwelling fowl.
>>5078722>There were no birds when the meteor hit5/10, got me to reply
>>5082949>out of the vast diversity of enantiornithean birds and more basal avialans that existed in the Maastrichtian the only survivors of the impact where at least FIVE separate lineages of the obscure and rare neornitheans |Sounds convenient.
>>5082949Archaeopteryx is 150 million years back and birds had already diverged based on the huge number of strictly avian traits in that one non-avian.

There was an episode where Ben tried release his vultures near a power line and sat by a river for a bit. Does anyone know what episode that was?I believe Ben may have filmed a turtle in that video that is either an entirely unknown species, or is evidence of a greater size than anyone previously known examples of an existing species. The turtle he filmed is a softshell of some kind, but it's gigantic. It's quite possibly the same size as a Yangtze river turtle. If not the same size, then very close. To my knowledge, there is no known softshell turtle that size in the US.
>>5081771government just doesn't record them that big because they don't want to accept any ecological preservation laws that blah blah limit their blah blah. Same deal with appalachy catamounts.

>>5080882>>5080937>>5080967not to mention that elephants are so large and perceive the world at such a sped-up timescale that they effectively plan routes as puzzles that need to be solved; what's the best route to take around these known locations in my memory to best feed everybody with the most nutritious sources of food of sufficient variety that everyone stays healthy, and ensure we have access to safe drinking water regularly enough to stay alert, and pass by sufficiently many identifiable areas that the other members of the herd will remember them if I can't lead them there, etc etc. The whole world is a puzzle for them.
>>5081740is there also a possible truth to the theory that due to the quaternary glaciation resources and climatic conditions are unstable enough large animals can't adapt to the rapid changes purely through natural selection and the development of intelligence is a sort of fall-back solution?overall, there's been a fairly aggressive selection for higher intelligence among large vertebrates in the past few million years, and as evidenced by elephants and whales, unlike many other periods in earth's history, not even the most massive animals can escape this general trend
