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?

No, I don't own a dinosaur themed park and hate my grandkids

Compsognathidae is a social construct.

there are more dinosaurs alive right now than at any time in history

Just get pet geese. These were probably even more aggressive and retarded.

Yes, but you could if only God were more merciful and letting us live at the same time as dinosaurs

Those are actually Procompsognathus anyway. Totally different family of Theropods. They just called them "Compys" for short.

>>5077268
There are currently 0 Dinosaurs inhabiting the surface of planet Earth.

So there is zero chance these things would have had venomous bites? Thank fuck
>>
>>5078675
the venomous animals back then were mammals
>>
>>5078464
birds are birds dipshit, we still have actual dinosaurs today, the crocodilians, which are hundreds of millions of years old. There were no birds when the meteor hit, it's a new form of animal that isn't a dinosaur anymore.
>>
>>5078722
Birds are theropods. If you want to be pedantic even crocodiles aren't dinosaurs because they diverged so much from the dinosaurs that existed then
>>
>>5078697
Is there proof of this? Actually, has there even ever been a venomous bird?
>>
>>5079440
No venomous Birds have ever been known, with venom as defined by a toxin being produced by the animal, and administered to the victim via a bite, sting, barb or targeted exudate.

On the other hand we have toxic, which need only be contained as part of their tissues, and usually acquired via their diet.

And on that, there are several known toxic Bird species, probably the most notorious being the hooded Pitohui.

I want a pet Coelophysis. They would probably make terrible pets, but I still would.
>>
>>5080402
A Coelophysis would be good too. I like to think most of these would be like owning an oversized chicken
>>
>>5077078
These were apex predators.
>>
>>5080801
What is your reasoning? Were there just no actual things bigger than them in their region?
>>
>>5078722
>There were no birds when the meteor hit,
anon, avian dinosaurs coexisted with non-avian dinosaurs for millions of years. And "new type of animal" is complete nonsense. It's 100% accurate to say birds are theropod dinosaurs. You can argue about whether it's useful to describe something one way or the other (like the classic "are whales fish") but... it's also useful to do so - calling birds dinosaurs - in the context of this thread, considering >>5077587 is literally just wrong.
Beyond that, crocodilians aren't dinosaurs. Never were. Nobody ever even tried to claim they were except for people who wanted to sensationalize how "unevolved" they are (which, mind you, is also inaccurate, as crocodilians are not particularly unchanged. In fact, most of our current semiaquatic crocodilians today evolved AFTER modern avian groups did, in what would be effectively their modern form...)
so basically you're an absolute retard.
>>
>>5081353
he's wrong, there were a lot of large dinosaurs that took up the apex predator mantle that coexisted with compsognathus.

IIRC the compys in jurassic park weren't even venomous either. They just had really nasty mouths since they ate shit all the time.

>there were no birds when the meteors hit
Vegavis 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.
