ughhh /an/ is always dead. post your fav dinosaur + a fact about it, NOWWW

avian dinosaurs/bird talk is also welcome, we love our current theropods

I wonder did small and medium sized ornitschians could be actually omnivorous and consume invertebrates and maybe even small vertebrates from time to timr
>>
>>5158583
How accurate was turok?
>>
>>5158589
fairly accurate, not enough culturally ambiguous natives though

As far as i'm aware Carnotaurus is the only predator i the earth's history to have proper non-crest horns

dilophosaurus didn't actually look like this, but more importantly it was probably the largest land animal when it was alive, and most likely the apex predator of its ecosystem

In my opinion, posting about dinosaur facts is the same as posting about Skyrim facts
They're both made up stories that can be read for fun, but its a huge waste of time studying something for so long that isn't even real.

>/an/ is always dead
I wonder if that's because your threads are painfully childish and shallow?

Couldn't be that. What's your favorite fruit and list 2 interesting facts about it, guys!

So cringe

Triceratops had a really strong bike force and could have chomped you

We don't know why the dinosaurs of the early and middle cretaceous period went extinct. The spinosaurus just disappeared during those specific times. While we can pinpoint many reasons for other mass extinction events because of geological reasons.

Nah you just bait him into a charge then dodge at the last second. Then circle around to his back legs on the side and continue pummeling him
>>
Did you know that the T-Rex mogs every dino mentioned and to be mentioned in this thread?

I like that allosaurus hyperextending its jaw like picrel also implies that future carnosaurs probably had a similar mechanism and I ponder what purpose it serves

straight up just to bite bigger prey bro, no need to think it hard

reminder that as we speak a good chunk of fossils out there are:
>being eroded by natural causes
>destroyed or brought even deeper in the earth by seismic activity
>destroyed by unregulated human activities like mining and building (also happens for archeology)
>stolen and sold who knows where, often with destructive methods
>rotting in some archives (it would shock you how many fossils, even well preserved ones, are never properly studied)

>it was probably the largest land animal when it was alive
Lol what? Largest land predator maybe, Vulcanodon and other basal sauropods still dwarfed it.
>>
>>5159893
>Vulcanodon
What a cool fucking name. How come i didn't know about this thing?

If i remember correctly, it had the strongest bite force of any herbivore ever
>>
>>5159969
Now imagine giant like Sauroposeidon was real
>>
>>5159560
It was likely due to a variety of factors
>>
>>5159560
I have heard could be Little Ice Age back then

Such as climate change or outcompetition from other predators and hunting by humans
