Why is Sue's torso so massive? Compare that to another Tyrannosaurus with the gastralia shown below (Montana's T. rex, MOR 980)
a t. rex egg has never been found. ever. lesser scientists only assume they lay eggs because similar animals do.the sheer size of sue might, in fact, imply they were wrong. t. rex birthed live offspring.
>>5040737HGH
>>5040737She’s just built different
>>5040744Given how most Marine Reptiles of the time (Mosasaurus, Ichthyosaurus, for example) are proven to have given live birth, I can actually see a solid theory here. Not to say they're explicitly Oviparous or Viviparous, if I had to say, more like how some Snake embryos hatch in the womb and the mother Snake appears to give live birth.
>>5040737She ate a little to many Triceratops
>>5040810There’s a T. rex specimen with medullary bone
>>5040795Hadrosaur Growth Hormones? You saying Tyrannosaurs grow big because their prey have been juicing?
>>5040737Pretty sure it's due to how she's posed/mounted
>>5040737chungus
>>5040891even if it wasn't crouching, it would still be immensely bulky compared to other specimens
>>5040737Holy shit. I was just about to post about this exact thing, and your thread was at the top. I even made this illustration just seconds ago.
>>5040908That tail does not look heavy enough to keep that think balanced.
>>5040737She thicc.
>>5040916it's the angle. The tail is also very long, approximately half her total length.
>>5040737Different species like Lions and Tigers
mystery solved
>>5040930Still, though. Look at that fatty. And she's even lifting additional weight with her head.
>>5040810Marine animals give live birth because there is evolutionary pressure to do so. It's hard to be a large free roaming predator and also care for young, so either you leave them to do whatever (and they get eaten en masse) or you figure out a way to protect them (keep them inside you until able to survive on their own). And when you're a marine reptile, this is doubly true because you now have dragging yourself up on land into the mix.>>5040744However, this dude is a moron because absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.
>>5040737Is it possible she had a condition similar to the one that makes some people look like this?
>>5040871That annectens certainly has been. Was it worth the shrunken gonads? You will never contribute to the communal nesting grounds.
>>5040916It's not.>>5040915They clearly just allowed an inflation fetishist to mount Sue incorrectly, and now everyone thinks T. rex is fat.
>>5041053How dear you. She's a beautiful woman. Just because you have an unnatural sexual attraction to emaciated T-Rexes doesn't mean that's their natural state.
>>5040982Would hug
>>5041095Unironically, this is the kind of mentality that has infiltrated paleontology once they let women, sois and assorted shitlibs in.
>>5041174>being nazi triggered about paleontologyYeah, because everyone knows dinosaurs were purebred white aryan natsoc chads with psychic powers. Get over yourself. This isn't a political subject at all. Why are you forcing your bullshit here?
>>5041178he’s not a nazi, he’s a jew. traditional dinosaurs were described in the torah dumb goy. dont assume and you won’t be an accidental antisemite next time.
>>5041180Wtf its realhttps://aish.com/dinosaurs/#:~:text=The%20Torah%20itself%20may%20hint,in%20which%20we%20now%20live.Jews had a rough idea of paleontology 6000 years ago. Too bad they were mostly wrong about it. I guess paleontology is as jewish as particle physics is greek
>>5041178>>5041180>>5041181Having fun talking to yourself?
>>5041182I'm actually none of those three posts.
>>5040737That's a big bitch
>>5040737>>5040915Lol she's a fat fuck. Unironically why I like Scotty more.
How much would it cost to buy an authentic T. rex fossil? I am willing to send flying projectiles to destroy the Burj Khalifa to show my power if it comes to that point.
>>5041174>>5041174I think we should leave politics out of paleontology but I don't mind a chunkier rex. Prehistoric Planet's model is quite good.Anyways, the lips were always a weird point for me, but I think I've gotten used to them.
>>5041178>This isn't a political subject at all.Yet somehow it's all chincoms, troons, women and "atheist" onionss pushing radical anatomical revisionism.
>>5040737that bird had the gay cancer
Yeah whatever this thread was about, I'm putting it back on track with pic rel. Kino as hell painting and Sue, numero uno dino waifu also gets a kino logo that matches the Jurassic Park logo/book cover while still being distinctive. Also the paeleontologist she's named after was also hot. So yeah that's fitting. Chicago gets based Dino finds and also has Brookfield. Pure /an/ kino.

>>5047514not 1:1 with egg-laying. Some extant birds lay eggs without having it. Some animals even have eggs internally that hatch internally before giving pseudo-live birth, too. It's fine to suggest that egg-laying is the more likely outcome (I wouldn't necessarily disagree with it), the issue is specifically that the initial argument (>>5040744) was strawmanned.
>>5040744Exceptionally unlikely. There are numerous instances of species with soft-shelled eggs switching to live birth (occuring amongst snakes, lizards, salamanders, frogs, bony fish, cartilaginous fish, insects & mammals), but there are zero instances of this happening amongst species with hard-shelled eggs (archosaurs).Almost every group of vertebrates has (ovo)viviparous species in it. All of them except one. Archosaurs.Tellingly, throughout the period that dinosaurs dominated on land, reptiles with soft-shelled eggs returned to a fully aquatic lifestyle including live birth at least two times (ichtyosaurs, mosasaurs), possibly more (plesiosaurs).During the period that birds dominated the air, species with soft-shelled eggs did this once more (sea snakes).Since returning from the land to a fully aquatic lifestyle seems to necessiate the evolution of life birth (literally every instance of a full-time return to the sea features it), the evolution of full-time aquatic species can be used as a stand-in for the capacity to evolve viviparie.And no bird, no crocodile and no dinosaur we've found has ever done this over the past 250 million years. Even birds that gave up flight for swimming still return to land to lay their eggs despite existing for longer than whales. Even the already semi-aquatic crocodiles keep laying their eggs on land since literally before the dinosaurs. And while dinosaurs dominated the land just as much as mammal do now (with mammals returning to a fully aquatic lifestyle three times - whales, sirenians, sea otters), NOT ONE dinosaur has done this. But three or four other diapsid lineages did.There appears to be a point of no return where the evolution of hard-shelled eggs nopes any attempt at ovoviviparie, yet alone the evolution of true viviparie.And archosaurs hit that point 250 million years ago.
>>5046292>scientists>chincomsWhy do you hate the evolutionary theory?
>>5040744Not a single archosaur is known to give live birth
>>5047709Everyone here is jumping right talking about birth but can we back it up and try to to figure out the penis and pussy situation first?
>>5047551Oh okay so it can totally evolve to be a gigantic killer lizard or go from lizard to bird but it can’t evolve a softer egg and eventually live birth. Totally believable.
>>5047718Correct.
