>largest predatory dinosaur ever>bigger specimens found all the time>recently found to have hunted and killed adult individuals of large herbivore species by biting them in the face>by far the most popular dinosaur>if you combine the popularity of the rest of the top ten dinosaurs, they’re about as popular as T. rex is on its own>has a stranglehold on media depictions in every form, in spite of the small arms>studies will specifically include rex because it increases the odds of the study being funded significantly >is responsible for a lot of interest in dinosaurs in general and helped push the field forward in many waysHow is one species so influential on the field it’s a part of?
>ruined forever
>>5106274dont forget the lips.
>>5106274The random ahh sakura blossoms are the fruitiest part of this. What were they thinking?
>>5106245That's because, in reality, animals are as cool as kids say. It's retards that want to tell you that in reality they are hecking wholesome chungusses
>>5106303On the second half of points. I mean are you not looking at your own pic? how can you see that skeleton mount and not think it is the coolest thing to ever exist?
>>5106304their arms look stupid
>>5106303>>5106304It was more rhetorical tbqh
>>5106284Chinese dinosaurs in Japan?
>>5106284>ahhHere comes my dick! Keep that mouth open wide!
>>5106245it is called REX for a reason.
>>5106303Animals don't fucking start random dino battles for the enjoyment of some 5 year old little shit, they care about being injured and don't want to fucking die.
>>5106725Yeah and we also have evidence a T. rex crushed an adult Edmontosaurus skull with its jaws. Stop being an extremist retard.
>>5106756While the edmontosaurus was aliveImportant distinction
>>5106245It's a motherfuckin t-rex
It has the most aura
>>5106756Yeah, and then the defining injury that killed an Allosaurus was an infected toe.
>>5106789Not the CBT thagomizer?
>>5106274No anon, having feathers and lips does not nullify any of the feats listed by OP
>>5106245It's hard for me to appreciate T. rex unless I'm looking at the skeleton. It was an incredibly cool animal and paleoart can't do it justice.
>>5106700Crunchy.
>>5106245My utter limp, fragile and meek twink body is collapsing on my self as we speak, spinobros....
>>5106791Sadly, that has yet to get an adaptation to make it widely known.
>>5106854I-I can’t run away fast enough, my legs are too small!
>>5106864>>5106854Kek
>>5106245that's nothing>strongest bite force of any land animal ever>potentially the best vision of any animal ever>unusually long cochlea for hearing footsteps>unusually large olfactory bulbs for smelling prey>largest encephalization of any dinosaur aside from a few small dromaeosaurs
>>5106245Was there any event similar to the theft of the Mona Lisa that contributted to it's popularity? No one cared for the Mona Lisa before the theft but now it's the most famous piece of art of human history.
>>5106854>just wants to eat fish in the marsh>gets dragged into an endless monkey dick waving competition millions of years after its deathSpino doesn't deserve this
>>5106901It being a movie star
>>5106901In the 1950s American oil companies used dinosaurs extensively to promote their companies. They only knew about like 5 dinosaurs. T. rex was the only giant predator they advertised
>>5106845it literally does
>>5106894>>unusually large olfactory bulbs for smelling prey>>largest encephalization of any dinosaur aside from a few small dromaeosaurswould be impressive except these are the same thingsolfactory bulbs are generally calculated as part of encephalization even though they don't add to intelligence at all
>>5106284>The random ahh sakura blossoms are the fruitiest part of this. What were they thinking?The oldest known fossil flowers were tree flowers similar to cherry blossoms. This fossil was from the Hell Creek formation, same place T. rex was from.Tyrannosaurs have always been illustrated alongside cherry blossoms, it's a very old and probably accurate depiction.
>>5107030Dragged into it by an Epstein client of all people.
>>5107092Notice the difference in skill and tastefulness between the two art pieces
>>5106845Good thing it didn't have feathers and lips are not a proven fact
>>5107097>lips are not a proven facteveryone forgets that Daspletosaurus skull with the face preserved.It's like the feather debate of a few years back.we already know it didn't have lips, we have fossils of it. But people are going to ignore the fossil and argue about lips anyways.
>>5107099>people who get autistic over “accuracy” ignore the actual fossilsPaleontology becoming a fandom was a mistake.
>>5106274Why is this meme still perpetuated when no palaeontologist believes it had feathers, and no modern Dino show depiction shows that.>>5106725Then why do we find dinosaurs with injuries from fights? Why did dinosaurs evolve defense mechanisms and hunting tools, just like all animals have done?Why arr you gay?>>5107301>>5107099It is because of the type of teeth it had. They were likely protected as they were not fast growing and easily replaced, like crocodiles or sharks.Lips are something found in reptiles throughout history, and mammals, and there is no reason why it wouldn't have them to protect its most useful tools. It was Hollywood that have them big shredding-curved teeth that stuck out, and it looks retarded.This t-rex looked great to me.
>>5107092Those are Magnolias.
>>5107311I could do without the cope peach fuzz and the legs seem too short for me but other than that it is a good model
