Carnotaurus is a retarded build but it's my beloved retarded build
>>719361114>I'm sure to win as my speed is superior
>>719361114i would've believe in those creatures if i lived in world where they actually exist.
>>719361114>>719365272Dinosaurs had feathers. These pictures are not accurate.
>>719365405Well your mom should have been a fucking Pterosaur because you came 245 million too late.
>>719365629Some did, some didn't Carnotaurus is one where skin imprints were actually found and it didn't have feathers
>>719365629Your mom has a mustache and yet you were balding at 20
>>719365629Dinosaurs looked just like they do in Jurassic Park.
>>719366082incel rejected
>>719365629Raptors had feathers. Ankylosaur likely did not.
>>719366227Raptors didn't have feathers. That's a Chinese psyop.
>>719361114*AGP builds
>>719365629Funny you say that because Carnotaurus is known to not have had them
>still no primal rage successor
>yeah bro, Allosaurus totally hunted this
>>719366569well they were ridiculous retardslike less animals and more robots acting purely on instinct on a level you only see these days in insects
>>719365807sure, albert
Dont mind me, just posting pics of my carnotaurus
>>719362385cry about it mahmood
>>719366852he physically can't stand like that you're making him suffer you monster
>>719366852
>>719366569Look at the allosaurus jaw. The allosauroidea are particularly well-suited to hunting large sauropods.
>>719366930>has no arms>but is armedNOW the build makes sense
>>719366930
>>719361114
>>719361114Act dumb, get thumb.
>>719366569It probably did. Like this Anon says: >>719366679 Allosaurus were extremely aggressive, voracious, predators, we have some evidence that may suggest they may have hunted in groups, and the animal has one of the widest jaw gaps of any dinosaur. It's completely believable they hunted sauropods.
>this frightens the featherfag
>>719365272carno is my fave too. what a badass looking animal.
>>719367726>>719366569and course always remember an animal dedicated to hunting something doesn't have to take on the healthiest adultsallosaurus packs were probably just going after the juveniles that only just joined adult herds, sick and old animals etcand always remember: sauropods were r-strategists, so by virtue of them not having eaten the entire world, they would HAVE to have had a massive number of predators
>>719368159>r-strategiststhat's a relative measurement
>>719368358>>719368420Why does this feel more realistic than >>719366082
>>719368514Sovl vs soulless
>>719366894theory of evolution was originally pushed by "Muhammadians" i.e. Muslims because it doesn't contradict with their beliefs.It contradicts Christianity quite a bit, but I don't think Christians care they'll just cog dissonance their way through it
>>719368508the amount of offspring they had was ridiculous by megafauna standards
>>719368817evidence: some guy from an instution that's wrong about everything pulled it out of his ass
>>719368810catholic church embraces evolution by the way, it's only retarded dogmatic protestants that have issues with it
Carno is what I imagine STR only builds would look like if it were a dinosaur. Nothing but pure facemashing unga that he never evolved his arms to do anything else.
>>719368810impressive, that's the worst load of hogwash i've heard in months. purestrain tel aviv.
>>719368862sauropod nesting sites we found contain significantly more eggs than would be even remotely reasonable for a k-strategist
>>719368514It was made back when you had to have talent to work with computers.
What were the arms for?
>>719369104this is retarded, a single one of those bullets could have killed it and would have inflicted immense debilitating wounds, there's just flat out no way a predator continues pursuing anything capable of hurting it that bad
>>719361114>the weak should fear the strong
>banned most of VIT/STR buildsAGI/END/INT chads rule nowadays.
>>719369373INT/STR is still viableJust can't get away with dumping INT anymore
>>719366930>A polite society is an armed society
>>719369324I actually thought they were gonna give Carno its own scary scene for a second.
>>719366569>>719367726>>719368159According to google, Allosaurus was 14 feet tall, 30 feet long and weighed 3 tons. Whereas a brachiosaurus was 44 feet tall, 60 feet long and weighed 45 tons.So a brachiosaurus is 16 times heavier than an allosaurus. Even though that seems like a huge size discrepancy, keep in mind that lions sometimes hunt elephants and this is the same size difference between a lion and a female elephant. And considering allosaurus had teeth designed for serrating, them hunting sauropods isn't that unrealistic.
>not running a CHA/INT/STR build
>>719365629back to >>>/an/
>>7193697016 ton orcas also hunt 200 ton blue whales and like you said allosaurus was perfectly equipped for the task, if they could get a good grasp on the neck of a sauropod they could easily open up large enough wounds it bled out
>>719366679>like less animals and more robots acting purely on instinct on a level you only see these days in insectsdumbass. dinosaurs share a ton of lineage with birds, there's no reason to think they couldn't also share their improved brain density. you can't compare a dino brain to a mammal brain.
Hey STRfags, watch this.
>>719368749these scared me
>>719369207>Fire everywhere>IMMA FIGHT THIS OTHER DINOSAUR BECAUSE REASONS!
>>719368921not the thagomizer
>>719369949sauropods were incredibly distant from birds, like more distant than we are from koalas who have literal smooth brains there's absolutely no reason to assume sauropod brains had the same level of complexity as bird brainsnot to mention that there's always a minimum amount of brain space needed to just govern bodily functions
>>719369324https://youtu.be/Uy6wWBzC-1I?si=svNxq_bqYjnHa2II&t=71This scene always stuck out to me, mainly because how brutal it felt. Like you can hear the guy screaming in agony as the T Rex chomps on him.It's not very realistic though is it? Pretty sure a T Rex bite will take the life out of you before you could even feel it.
>>719367726I remember reading a paper where it describes most allosaurus skeletons having injuries from every single dinosaur from that period. They weren't just angry retards they were The greatest angry retards of all time.
>>719366082why even bother having small arms?what's with this false narrative?
>>719361114How can Carnotardus ever recover from being such a gag dinosaur? Is there even a game where carnotaurus is actually a threat?
>>719370253They were fast runners that either headbutted things or when they could just scooped things up with their mouth, with a strong sense of smell but not much else. That documentary isn't that great but it's supposed to be demonstrating their focus on scent.
>>719370146great whites can already bite someone in half and T. Rex had double of themit would be lights out instantly or else such traumatic injuries you're in shock before bleeding outwould be no screaming the only way you could survive is if they had offspring they were teaching how to hunt and deliberately bit you """gently"""
>>719370253the documentary proposes they were used for mating displays which frankly isn't unreasonable, they were both completely useless for their lifestyle, but also surprisingly highly articulated and capable of a wide range of motionoutside of display functions it just flat out doesn't make sense they even had the arms
>>719370092
>>719370360BeholdNo seriously they were pretty scary in both the movie and the game. They were conically oversized compared to the real carbo. In fact, I heard that the Carnotaurus fossil at Disney's dinosaur attraction was just a carno skull attached to the fossil of Scotty the T Rex.
>>719370034closest relatives btw
>>719370639Damn I forgot about this movie. Didn't know it had a game either.
>>719370113they have the respiratory system. they have the hollow bones.don't get me wrong, they were certainly retarded, but assuming they were giant multi-ton insects when efficient brain density solutions exist in their family tree is presumptuous.
Carnotaurus in media is like the dinosaur klingon. Always gets beaten up to show how big and tough the real bad dinos are.
>>719370034>archosaur posers vs actual dinosaur
>>719370805I mean crocodiles share a respiratory system with birds and don't nearly have the same neuron density
>>719370801CLEAN IT UP, JANNY
>>719370924This looks like asylum shit
>>719368806If the film was from the Carno's perspective it's a tragic romantic drama where a husband loses his wife while surviving and gets killed in his grief hunting for revenge. Jokes aside it's funny how these two were better at cooperating and sharing then the herbivores.
>>719370924>Surprise Cockface!
>dinosaurs with feathers aren't scaryOh yeah? So you wouldn't be scared by this?
>>719368894catholic church ain't Christianity though; they merely wear its skin to fit in
>>719365629This, we need more vidya with scientifically accurate dinosaurs
>>719368749I love the fact that you can see how the Dinosaur back there is getting eaten by the Carnotaur.
>>719371016It's not that they're not scary, it's just that dinosaurs with feathers aren't real.
>>719369271Dinosaurs>army shit
>>719370509>>719370146A T Rex apparently had a bite force of 12800 psi. That's way stronger than literally anything alive today barring an orca.
>>719371020orthodox, catholics and eastern churches all agree it's the protestants who are being weird biblical literalism is antithetical to christianity
>>719370914crocodiles/alligators separated from birds before dinosaurs even existed, and brachiosaurs came about 100m years after that. that is comparable to humans and koalas who are apparently around 125 millions years separated.
>>719369324This franchise is so mean to poor Carnotaurus
>>719367923And it's still far more accurate than the mutant Deinonychus in the Jurassic franchise.
>>719371113orca's bite force has never once been measured properly, it's pretty much a "it came to me in a dream" measurement
>>719371113>one of the smartest animals on earth>one of the most powerful hunters on earth>eat basically anything>only attack humans in captivity during moment of extreme mental stress/traumabased
>>719370360>biologically designed to run in a straight line really fastthey can't, they are conceptually hilarious. They played life on Krunch mode
>>719371124>biblical literalism is antithetical to christianitylmao wtf. what's even the point of the Bible if it's not to be taken literally? what a load of horseshit
>>719369827The fact there's no blood or puncturing, just the impact marks oddly makes it feel more violent and painful
>>719370034This is literally just the scene in Tarzan where Son of Man plays.
>>719371204>what's even the point of the Bible if it's not to be taken literally?giving the plebs access to the bible was a mistake.
>>719368916Carnotaurus was pretty speedy and agile, too. And it must be stated that it wasn't a very large dinosaur.
>>719371284yeah gatekeeping the Bible is the way to go if you want the least amount of people to get saved. as I said - this shit isn't Christianity but some sickening, cynical business instead
>>719371216>Convert 12375 kg to tons>13.6 tonsLol is this the real deal? Back when I was a kid, T Rex was only like half that size. That's bigger than most mammoths.
>>719365272just isn't as good if it isn't Naruto running
>>719368664Kino design
>>719371146They should just have both, honestly. Just call the big ones velociraptor antirrhopus or something.They should add an actual-sized Dilophosaurus too, but will the frills and everything.
>>719371308I know I shouldn't be bothered about Hollywood accuracy, but can a megalodon even do that without getting beached?
>>719371375the bible is the absolute worst book to take a "the curtains are fucking blue" stance on. literalists incapable of interpretation or nuance need to fuck off.
>>719371125sure but the sauropod/theropod split was closer to to pseudosuchia splitting off from other archosaurs than it was to the evolution of birdsthere's really no reason to assume that the increased neuron density of birds evolved prior to the theropod split
>>719371403
>>719369207>>719370063This scene was fucking retarded
>>719371483what the fuck are you even talking about lmao
>>719371512
>>719366082>>719370581How in the god damn fuck is knowing any of that possible? We quite literally cannot observe these creatures so we quite literally cannot have any knowledge of its habits.
>>719371604it's just making shit up as they go. complete waste of time
>>719370360The Lost World game for the Saturn and PS1. Especially because you're playing as a compy.
>>719371204because all the reasonable churches recognize that the bible is the word of god as understood by fallible humans and subject to misinterpretation by those who wrote it down, in addition to deliberate falsehoods introduced by the authors of a specific version of the bible (King James for example mandated several additions and removals to the KJB and specifically requested phrasings that would suit his purpose)as such the bible needs to be studied and understood to their best ability by learned individuals of high piety
>>719370731https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mmn8ohx7aOE&t=43s&ab_channel=Edaphosaurus
>>719371604we can never know for certain, but we can look at extant animals and extrapolate behaviors of extinct animals from themand a near constant factor we see in nature is that if a body feature on an animal makes zero sense to exist for practical purposes 99 out of 100 times it exists for display purposes
>>719370854Prehistoric Park has a special place in my heart.
>>719366569Single male lions can down even the largest bull elephants.
>>719371604>hypothese don't existWe've had a complete Carnotaurus skeleton for 40 years and we've been only learning more
>>719371503>there's really no reason to assume that the increased neuron density of birds evolved prior to the theropod splitthe largest land animals in existence having a brain the size of a walnut is a pretty good case for improved neuron density
>>719371662so instead of allowing fallible people to read the text themselves you gatekeep it to a singular fallible human to read it for them? that's retarded
>>719371462It would crush itself under its weight the moment it landed. Shit, a meg that size would have beached itself before it even got close to the beach. To say nothing of the fact sharks can't move backwards.
>>719371826giving something to the masses just allows the retards to congregate and drag it into the mud. this literally always happens, because most people are stupid.
>>719371749No they can't
>T-Rex bites the rim of a tire>It's teeth don't shatter The attack should have ended right there.
>>719371648This, knowledge is weakness, intelligence is waste, shun those who tell you anything you don't want to know.
>>719371812that, or they were you know, really dumbI mean they didn't necessarily need to be "that" smart, environments were more stable during the time periods sauropods lived, and on average predators were also significantly less intelligent than they are in the modern worldremember also that birds went through a bottleneck themselves, and intelligence would have served them well to survive the immediate aftermath of the K-Pg event as it would have favored adaptable generalists
>>719371920Nta but if the masses have the wrong of it it should be easy to correct. Except none of it's based in anything so every interpretation is equally valid lmao
>>719371920you'd be right in every other case but the BibleJohn 14:26>26 But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you
>>719371749the recorded kill was a pride of 30 lions, it was also a separated female
>>719371993Remember that these are movies, and animals in movies have to be hyper-aggressive, persist in attacking something they know isn't food, and treasure human flesh above all other meat to the point they will commit suicide for a small mouthful of man tartare.
>>719371994>making shit up about something you cannot prove nor can anyone test is atschkually knowledge a-and intelligence!lol nah
>>719371907not to mention megalodon were specialist hunters of medium sized whalesto the point that when medium sized whales went extinct the megalodon followed swiftly they were not an adaptable species, neither was livyatan, both mega-predators adapted to survive off of the same at that time hyperabundant prey of medium sized whalesit's the orcas who managed to come out on top because unlike the 2 larger predators they actually were incredibly adaptable
Dinosaurs weren't real, stop spreading these demonic lies
>>719372078the passage you just posted says they will be taught, not that they get to self-interpret.
>>719372101The book explained the carnivores were crazy because they were raised in isolation and were barely holding together.
>>719372101the only time the persistence of a T. Rex was in any way believable was in JP2the retards stole the child of a dinosaur with notably highly developed parental instinctsthem putting the humans in their territory on the top of their shit list was 100% believable
>>719372136It's called hypothesis, studying the material we have, and making guesses based on extant material. This is how science works, and as we discover and learn more the hypotheses change. There's nothing liberal, demonic, or conspiracy theory about it. The things we make and use today were created through scientific testing and observation.
>>719372308Nta (again) but it’s saying the Holy Spirit will teach you, not a human teacher.
>>719370608fukkin PWNED
>>719372005>that, or they were you know, really dumbI'm saying that they would need a high brain density just to have enough neurons to move their body.
>typical free-for-all online match
>>719372473>>719372005Dinosaurs, like all animals, are as intelligent as they need to be to survive in the environments they live in and with the other life around them.
>>719372473which is kinda why the idea that their behavior was fairly robotic entirely reasonable to assumeespecially because there would have been significant information delay from their rear most parts of their body to their brain
>>719371356>ammo counter on side of gunwhy?
>>719371723LOL tf
>>719372078>>719372441that section isn't even in the older (greek) version of the bible which highlights exactly the issue with biblical literalism: which version of the bible are you going to take at face value? because there's a lot of them to choose from
>>719372308yeah, by the Holy Spirit, not a fellow fallible human who has the audacity to cal himself "father" which btw Jesus spoke quite clearly againstMatthew 23:9>And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven
>>719372643KJV, clearly
>>719372075>Nta but if the masses have the wrong of it it should be easy to correctFlat earthers prove how its incredibly impossible to correct people no matter how easy it theoretically is to do so.
>>719372728the version that was ordered by an english king for the explicit purpose to solidify his rule and omitting several sections which he sinned again?
>>719370034Lads I think we've been misled and crocs are actually pretty shit.
>>719371604>How in the god damn fuck is knowing any of that possible?Because the modern descendants of these animals, birds, demonstrate similar behaviors.
>>719372887Flat earthers are controlled opposition that exists mainly to make all conspiracies seem as loony as what they believe in
>>719372904point to the ommited sections
>>719366569I dunno nigga my ex was 6'2, shit happens.
>>719372949Let them sunbathe in peace, Rajeesh...
Man created gods. End of discussion.
>>719372964and not even just direct relatives, we see display purposes among animals not even remotely related mean it's pretty universal
>>719371391The limiting factor to finding huge trexes might be age. All the largest trexes we've found have been in their mid to late 20's, with the largest one 30 years old (I think?). The popular theory atm is most large dinosaurs had insane periods of growth during youth, bulking up tremendously in like half a decade, and then slowed down in adulthood. Not stopping, mind you, just slowing growth. I didn't really think about this too much until I listened to a lecture by the Royal Tyrrell Museum from Alberta where they had enough bones to give a survey of how many large herbivorous animals were roaming around in Alberta at the time and it was like 60 something per square kilometer-something, vs the African serengeti which is 24-30. Granted, that might be high due to migration, but then think about an animal even only as big as the Centrosaurus herding in the hundreds of thousands.
>>719371483However you are taking a "The curtains are fucking blue" stance as well, only in accordance with your post-scientific revolution upbringing.I doubt you are mentally prepared to challenge your own dogmatic beliefs in "science" and its shortcomings.
>>719373098there's the additional factor that biomes generally were more productive back thenthe world was hotter but also in general wetter leading to increased plant growth and increased density of herbivores
>>719373098Isn't it mainly the carnivores that were the fast growers? I say mainly because large theropods like Tyrannosaurus had growth rates similar to humans, not becoming sexually mature until their teens and adult size by 18-20. Sauropods had a long slow growth cycle.
>>719365629Dinosaurs living in hot desert regions like the carnotaurus had no feathers faggot. And for the whole reign of the dinosaurs upon the earth there were no ice ages like we have now so colder regions were definitely rarer than today
>>719373050I referenced relatives more specifically because of the particular fixation on forelimbs. Birds still maintain the tradition of showing off their arms to potential mates. They even evolved new ways to draw attention to them with fibrous protrusions with luminous colors and fancy shapes to them that they wave around like a retarded child waves their handler around after their Switch gets taken away. It's kinda like how humans' various developments in energy relate to boiling water - a technique that has been employed since the paleolithic period.
>>719371993>>719372352Tb h the T Rex in the first movie acted pretty realistic. It seemed like just playing around with the jeep to see what it is. It barely even seemed aware of the kids inside it. Later on it didn't relentlessly chase after the Goldblum and Dern either and gave up the hunt once they picked up speed.
>>719372949>we will never see the cool ones like the biped crocs
>>719373663It attacked the jeep BECAUSE it figured out the kids were in it. Also, how the hell did a cliff show up where the T-Rex broke out?
>>719371604>How in the god damn fuck is knowing any of that possible?Zoologists, ecologists, animal science people, started making contributions to paleontology sometime in the late 80's, early 90's, and actual work could finally get done. Genetic analysis also only started to be a thing sometime in the 2000's, somebody can elaborate more, but I believe we were even able to (very) recently extract small pieces of dinosaur dna recently from intact marrow?Before the modern century tho paleontology was largely the field of hobbyists and geologists who were just making shit up; they'd discover juvenile or infant animals, claim they were a different species, shit like that. The famous "Oviraptor" was initially characterized as a horrid egg thief until they literally just cut open the fossilized eggs it was clutching and found out they belong to the brooding oviraptor herself and she had died trying to shield her own nest from some storm/flood.
>>719371604It's just educated guesses. The foreword of the show says as much. Would you prefer them just cutt to a black screen with the text "WE DON'T KNOW" every five fucking seconds?That would be a great show for kids.
>>719373812It attacked the jeep because one of the kids shut the door, which caught it's attention. It started messing around with it because it seemed curious
>>719373939>Broke through the roof>Kept looking for the kids after she flipped the jeep over
>>719368916Carnotaurus was actually a SPD build akin to something like a cheetah
>>719373887The Fossil Wars era of paleontology was awesome. Just a series of rich, petty and eccentric men traveling the globe and engaging in dick measuring contests with other rich, petty and eccentric men.

>>719367923These guys actually were planned to have feathers, but the animators were having too much trouble with it with the proto-maya software they were using, so the feathers got scrapped.
>>719365629Easily my biggest gripe about the feathers poster is they detract from the fact that dinosaur times had birds. Birds and dinosaurs lived in the same time period - and not just awkward, craigslist, archeopteryxes, but relatively modern (a lot of them had teeth which is an insufferably fucking cool trait to give a bird) cute looking birds that people could be gay about.

>>719374974this is so retarded lookingpart of what makes dinosaurs so cool is that they're both animals and monstersthis is just pure monster and loses what makes dinosaurs fun
>>719375683Blame Gareth Edwards and the writer, Edwards stated he doesn't like dinosaurs which is why we have the discount MUTO and Ion Dragons and the writer stated he had no idea what to write regarding dinosaurs in the modern world so he just turned the clock back to the original film. And they're still insistent on the World declaration that humanity doesn't care about dinosaurs.

>>719375846THE BASIC ABSOLUTE MINIMUM REQUIREMENT FOR ANYONE WRITING A JURASSIC PARK ANYTHING SHOULD BE LOVING DINOSAURSSpielberg understood that intensely, it's why the first big showcase of a dinosaur is of a majestic brachiosaur, that's something someone who fucking loves dinosaurs does
>>719375604>dude its a super predator which means it exclusively hunts other predators and is drawn to T.Rex excrement Sure I can buy it mainly its turf being the riverways, and coasts where its either an ambush predator or eats fish, dolphins and whales but theres no way it trounces around as the undisputed king of the island.
>>719375937Remember the 1998 Tri-Star Godzilla? It's a similar situation, Roland and Emmerich didn't know or care about Godzilla, they just wanted to make another action disaster movie except this time the military is retarded and Godzilla is an iguana.
>>719375953also large predators tend to avoid other large predators even if they're bigger, because fighting a predator is a shitshow bears are bigger than wolves but they still don't hunt wolves because they can still get hurt pretty bad by a wolf biting themlike that Spino, even in it's superpowered form still could have very easily died if the Rex got in a single good bite
>>719375846All Gareth Edwards wants to do is direct movies where brown people stab each other to death in increasingly dilapidated and specific locations and people keep making him make literally anything else.
>>719376048at least that did lead to the cartoon, which was written by people who actually did love Kaiju frankly that show is a perfectly fine Kaiju show, and the creature in it actually a pretty good take on an american kaiju, it just shouldn't be named Godzilla
>all these christfag posers acting upFunnily enough, the OG dinosaur and theropod, the Megalosaurus was discovered by a catholic and found the creature so strange and its ancient existence directly contradictory to the whole garden of eden context because animal predation surely couldn't have existed by the time the Megalosaurus had been alive so his justification for it being a hypercarnivore would be that it delivered death to the sinful and dying.
>>719376051The T.Rex did get a good bite in, it bit down on the damn things neck and slammed it into two trees for a good 20 seconds. The Rex meanwhile just got mildly scratched by the Spino, then rammed into its stomach and somehow the Spino could easily get a better grip then snap its neck. Sure I could maybe buy the Spino killing a Rex but it sustained enough injuries to lead to infection, injury and later death. Theres no way it should've pursued Alan and the parents halfway across the rest of the island.
>>719376104The series is still one of the best media in the Godzilla franchise, I will die on that hill.Considering everything it stole from it, the movie should have been made and titled as a Beast from 20,000 Fathoms remake. Deanzilla would have been a near-perfect modernization of the Rhedosaurus.
>>719376158it's basically only retarded versions of protestantism that are anti-sciencecatholics and more reasonable protestants show up all the time in scientific circles since most of the reasonable versions of christianity consider the attempt to understand creation to be if not an act of worship, at least an act of appreciation for God's works
>>719376158Everyone knows the real megalo was just a good sleepy boi in caves.
>>719376214oh absolutely, it made no sense, and even back then kids were kinda confused since it was obvious even to 12 year olds that anything that got caught by a T. Rex's jaws would be dead
>>719376158
>>719376220yeh, Zilla Jr. definitely deserves a spot among the franchise's kaijuwouldn't make it directly related to the actual Godzilla, just have it be that it was misidentified, it can stand pretty well on it's own, as a bit of a smaller more agile Kaiju who uses it's smarts to fight as much as it's brawn
I liked the Giga in dominion. I don't care about movie being shit. The real crime is my homies the allosaurus still not having proper movie representation. At least they were fucking rad in dino crisis 2 and that JP fighting game in the PS1.
>>719376427The IDW comics did Zilla much better. He got his ass kicked when he fought Godzilla but he got in several good hits and used his burrowing to great effect. In the final issue he even saves Jet Jaguar and Godzilla from being overwhelmed by Trilopods.
>>719371035JP Rex isn't that inaccurate. This is what an accurate Rex looks likehttps://youtu.be/OvpfKvgvRPQ?si=h-ReUbLQCJvBsYx1
>>719376648Honestly the only "inaccurate" thing about it at least with modern science is concerned is apparently tyranosaurs have lips which makes them less bad ass looking.
>>719375683>>719375846Honestly I found the family to be the worst part. Was hoping they'd all get eaten by the Rex
>>719376564yup that's fair, Zilla absolute should get his ass kicked if he goes up against Godzilla, but between burrowing, being an agile swimmer and fast on land he's got his niches
>>719376729Actually lips are still kind of contested.
>>719376729T. Rex's neck was also a lot thicker most likely, to account for it's massive muscles another couple of points that JP is inaccurate in is in the eyesight and intelligent of T. Rex which is now assumed to have been "better than a god damn eagle" and "on the level of an eagle" respectively which make them even more badass than in JP
>>719361114Feathers can be fine if the dev's do them right.
>>719376291Tru
>>719376729>>719376773All land animals have lips, otherwise their teeth would dry out and become brittle.
>>719376478>I liked the Giga in dominionI didn't. He looked like shit.I don't care that he jobbed. I care that they turned him into a retarded iguana.Gimma a real giga with the chad jawline and everything.
>>719371035The hilarious part is that they mostly got the spino head in jp3 mostly accurate but the rebirth movie got the body "correct" but fucked up the head and made it less like a suchomimus/barracuda
>>719376913They went full Fallen Kingdom Baryonyx with its head. You never go full Fallen Kingdom Baryonyx. Also the Spino on the beach that eats the blond chick walked quadrupedally on its knuckles like this movie was made in 2014.
>>719376861Not all, most. The thing is, T Rex had really huge teeth. So lips feel like more of a liability seeing how often it fought other T Rexes
>>719366082>useless thing in the body>scien-tits use the most pseudo brothinking "it's to attract mates!"God I wish I was religiousAt least there's community in their ignorance, this is pure loner hubris
>>719376873>jawlineGigas had relatively narrow jawlines. That pic you have actually makes them look more badass than what they usually looked like. The reason the giga wasn't as strong as the rex because it had a weaker bite force due to having weaker and slimmer jaws. It just had a very narrow and longer head, at least compared to other theropods of that size. Similar situation with the Spino albeit to much less extremes which is why people speculate that it mostly fed on fish like other narrow snouted crocodilians today.
>>719376104That show has some of the best monster design ever put to cartoon. Crackler, King Cobra, Dragma and C-Rex were top tier.
>>719371462Megalodon didn't even exist yet.
>>719377060isn't it also because it's teeth are cone shaped which is what you usually see among fish-eaters?
>>719377049the arms weren't useless or vestigial, they were well muscled and hyper-articulatethey just couldn't serve any obvious survival purpose in the animal, and generally speaking if you find a well developed feature that serves no survival purpose in any animal, it's part of mating displays
>>719375340Radical
>>719376729It doesn't make sense if they didn't, they aren't aquatic, they would absolutely need lips to protect their teeth
>>719376805Find it funny how movies nerf the Rex but actual science finds more evidence of it being an exceptional predator for its time. Like even its “wimpy” arms would naturally have to have decent strength so it could get up after a nap. Or the neck muscles or its eyesight and smell which JP memed people into believing is bad.
>>719377205I mean sure but the movie look with its teeth all bared up even with its mouth closed is so iconic.
>>719377107Yeah, Spino's teeth were crocodilian-like, smooth and conical to spear and grip fish. They did eat other things when they got the chance, spinosaurid teeth have been found embedded in pterosaur bones.Giganotosaurus, like other allosaurids and carcharadontosaurids, had narrow blade-like teeth with serrated cutting edges, which would cause deep lacerations and bleed out its prey. They preyed on ornithomimids and sauropods by taking bites that left lots of gashes. Tyrannosaurus was built to handle the tough armored hide of prey like Triceratops.
>>719377262turns out the largest land predator in history was really good at being a large land predator, who knew? honestly even the fact that T. Rex didn't roar doesn't bother me, because right now the assumption is it managed to produce infrasound rumbles which frankly, are scarier than roaring like there's this primal part of your brain that's terrified of it, and it's fun to imagine this is one of the reasons why, the ancient part of your brain remembers when mammals were small and theropods huge
>time travelers witnessing the tyrannosaurus rex scavenging undigested meat out of brontosaurus fecal matter (this is why they have such large jaws and tiny arms built for holding piles of shit)
>>719377368T. Rex probably ate just about anything it could get it's jaws on no?Same bite that could kill a Triceratops would do a number on your average hadrosaur
>>719377392Ever hear a male alligator bellow? Imagine that four times louder and sends vibrations through your entire body and the ground. And because low frequency sounds bend around obstacles it sounds like it's coming from all around you.
>>719377060Oh I didn't say Giga had a super strong bite, I'm well aware carcharaodontosaurids didn't have the skull shape to build the muscle and go band for band with any tyrannosaurid. I'm just talking about that dentary process Giga has at the distal end of its mandible that makes it look like it has a chad chin.>>719377107Actually no, Giga and other carcharodontosaurids had very sharp, flat teeth built for cutting shit, whereas you had spinosaurids with their fish-catching cone teeth, tyrannosaurids with their fuckoff huge serrated knife teeth built for mauling, etc.It ties into some theories about Giga using its jaw kind of like an allosaurid hatchet, where the process helps the jaw cope with the force of shutting very quickly. Instead of biting and mauling something to shreds like T. rex, giga would bite down super fast and yank away, bleeding its prey to death. The jaw doesn't hold like a rex, it just closes super fast. The chin helps with absorbing the force of a bite strategy like that, since it's being used in a lever-like motion, and with force increasing over distance, the very end of the jaw would see the most stress.
>>719377368I guess a likely comparison would be that Tyrannosaurs are more like big cats who finish off prey with powerful clamps on the the neck while other theropods are like canids or sharks who take multiple bites out of a prey until it falls over
>>719377175Your tonsils are not vestigial, have a proper function, they are well defibed and articulated within the working body.And yet, it's also useless and you can do without it. I bet you open your mouth and flash it to try and get dates, don't you tonsilboy
>>719377535(meant the spinosaur's teeth, apologies for the confusion)
>>719377462It also preyed on hadrosaurs, but its bite wasn't as suitable against them. Imagine a rex biting a big chunk of just meat, it would give it a squish and leave some puncture wounds but that wouldn't likely be fatal, the bleeding would stop quickly. If it could fracture a leg or damage the spine the hadrosaur would be easy prey, which a lot of the damage on Edmontosaurus skeletons seems to show was the rex's hunting style for them, ambushing them and going for the spine.
>>719377368Yeah outside of climate change a Carcharo and a Spino would've completely had 0 reason to intrude on each other's turf. If anything, art that shows Spino being rivals with Sarcosuchus are more accurate to its lifestyle.
>>719377650well T. Rex had surpreme sense of smell and sight, and was pretty darn intelligent, so it being adaptable enough to develop different ambush strategies for different prey is an entirely reasonable assumption
>>719377049>useless thing in the body>scien-tits use the most pseudo brothinking "it's to attract mates!"Yes, *posts literally almost any bird display*
>>719377392>>719377468>infrasound rumblesThat's interesting. Tigers use infrasound to confuse prey. Imagine just standing there and suddenly your whole body vibrates masking the sound/vibrations of a t-rex charging behind you.
>>719377682The funny thing is that carnivores rarely actually fought each other so these dino on dino fight fantasies are just that a fantasy. Animals aren't video game characters who can just rest up and heal after a fight. Fighting an equally heavily armed carnivore could result in either animal being seriously injured and hamper their hunting capabilities which they require to survive. That just goes against their natural instinct of self preservation. Even in the sea which had much scarier monsters, the livyatan and the megalodon rarely if ever fought each other and likely just double teamed squids and other macro prey to see who can eat the most.
>>719377682did they actually meet? I thought they lived a couple million years apart
>>719377538A good comparison, though the rex would grip and shake its head to maximize the bite force and punch through the armor and bones for a quick kill. More like a pit bull.>>719377757Like many predators today, they have different techniques for different prey.
>>719377923>though the rex would grip and shake its headwhich is really interesting that this is also how we assume terrorbirds killed their prey though course, they did suffer immensely from having a lot of bird genetic baggage
>>719367214
how do you know dinosaurs were real
>>719377892Spinosaurus wouldn't have met Sarchosuchus, it lived around 100 to 94 million years ago compared to Sarco's 130 to 112 million years ago. Sarcho did live with Suchomimus for a little bit at the very end of its existence.
>>719377548if you think that you're confused on the meaning of "vestigial," then.
>>719378035My favorite toyline and cartoon would never lie to me.
>>719378035The Devil himself told me they were definitely real
I am fucking sick of cretaceous wank. Give me some triassic and jurassic kino
>>719377892Now that I think about it, they didn't. Although I do imagine larger crocs of Spino's era did compete with it for food.
>>719378180early-mid triassic was utter kino basically cambrian explosion 2.0 because everything fucking died
>>719366227Ankylosaurs almost certainly didn't have them because of that impeccably preserved one that preserved even the pigment showing no signs of filamentous integument. I think it would have looked cool if they had feathers between the scutes though. Interestingly most scutes are thought to have actually been dervied from proto-feathers but the ones on ankylosaurs are entirely ossified formations so likely developed entirely differently from any non-scelidosaurian (ornitho-scelidan, if that were to pan out, perhaps?) armor or scales.
>autistically love dinosaurs>miraculously never became a paleoschizo as /an/ would put itI walk this lonely road
>>719378278Why are its feet like that lmao. The triassic period must be such an acid trip for animals because it's the transitory stage between the not!mammal/not!reptile therapsids and the dinosaurs.
>>719377757>>719377538>>719377432I can't remember where it was found (the United states for sure, not Canada); they found the fossilized remains of a triceratops that was killed by a t.rex holding down the animal with one foot, biting down on the neck, and just ripping it's head off. The t.rex absolutely killed and ate things, but it probably ate whatever was put in front of it whether that be live prey or carrion.
>>719369949actually the modern discussions of prehistoric animal intelligence mostly have to do with the idea that throughout all cerebral development there has been an arms race to keep up with what the other animals are thinking and planning. As an example, nobody would claim that the earliest chordates were less intelligent than modern animals. But over time, it's very likely that even the most intelligent animals have grown more intelligent linearly, such that even the least intelligent properly-brained animals nowadays would have been more intelligent than anything alive, say, 50 million years ago.
>>719378382>>autistically love dinosaursOh yeah? Name every dinosaur.
>>719378180Don't mind us, just being the largest marine reptiles to ever live, chilling in the Triassic.

>>719378489As most predators do. Meat is meat and they will eat when they can, if the meat isn't starting to rot. There's actually very few carnivores that don't also scavenge.

>>719378648After watching a horse chow down on a bird once, I've learned that even herbivores are opportunistic carnivores.
>>719378798What can you say. Nutrients are nutrients.
>>719378648though most large predators don't have carrion as a significant portion of their dietit might be a quirk of mammals and the fact angiosperms are so widespread, but you're more likely to find a large predator with plant matter as a significant portion of it's diet (often easily digestable stuff like fruit) than carrion
>>719378489>killed by a t.rex holding down the animal with one foot, biting down on the neck, and just ripping it's head off.That's metal as fuck. Even cooler would be if it decapitated the Trike alive.
>>719378798something that makes absolute sense if you study biology, but seems weird to normal people is that usually herbivory is the specialized form of diet and carnivory the more basal form
>>719377682>>719377368>>719375604The greatest tragedy concerning the Spinosaurus is it being mostly associated as the "T.Rex Rival Animal" and not this cool bipedial crocodile that got so massive because it adapted to Cretaceous Northern Africa, which was a flooded shallow sea at the time, and eating up all these massive Monster Hunter-esque fish and marine reptiles.
>>719378970>the sharks are some of the smallest ones thereJesus Christ.
really looking forward to Evolution 3, the breeding system and total freedom to build landscapes and buildings however you want are going to turn me into even more of a shut-in creating insanely detailed parks
>>719379192there used to be a lot of smaller and more specialized sharks aroundremember that 20 million years ago, sharks went through an extinction event that wiped out most of the specialized forms and only left the more basic ones alivereason sharks today look like living fossils is precisely because of this

>>719379943There are storyboards for a T-Rex escape scene.
>>719379785No actual animal would waste so much energy trying to eat something that wasn't edible and two tiny morsels that wouldn't even replenish what it wasted.
>>719379943I thought raptors killed the crew.
>>719380035Still doesn't explain the guy who was eaten except for his hand in the steering room and the walls, doors, and windows are completely intact.
>>719380124where are they then?
>>719380035Didn't happen in the movie, so it isn't canon. Even if it did happen, the ship is perfectly fine and the T-Rex has no leverage to even move from it's cage. The damn thing is held down by 3 inch HSS pipes. Even half inch thick would be more than enough to keep that fucker in place. >>719380124Nah. No evidence, plus, the dock was far from their turf.

JP2 should've stuck with the whole thing where the dickhead rich guy and roland go to hunt the trex and it gets the drop on them and it ends up eating rich guy and roland decides to be at peace with the trex and goes back to snipe the shit out of a raptor to save the retarded environment conservationist guys
>>719371604How the fuck do we know that Rome existed? We quite literally cannot observe Romans so we quite literally cannot have any knowledge of their civilization.
>>719371436Well in the Evolution games the compromised by adding the Utahraptor as the "accurate" depiction of a raptor
>>719381043Which is horseshit.How are you gonna give the biggest raptor species feathers but keep the regular raptors plain? That doesn't make sense.I hate that design, too. Looks like it doesn't belong in Jurassic Park at all.
>>719381140The canon dinosaurs have their canon designs. Simple as. And no, they're never getting real-life accurate designs. the only dinosaur which has that is Giganotosaurus and that's because it was in Evolution 1 a couple years before Dominion came out and got its Dominion design as a variant in the Dominion DLC. There's never going to be an accurate turkey-sized Velociraptor, an accurate Cryolophosaurus-sized non-frilled Dilophosaurus, an accurate Brachiosaurus, etc.
>>719381140>I hate that design, too. Looks like it doesn't belong in Jurassic Park at all.You finally realized that the Jurassic films don't care about paleo-accuracy?
>>719381415The wierd thing is that the T-rex has a a skin that gives it feathers
>>719377548"lumps of lymphoid tissue at the back of the throat that act as a first line of defense against germs entering through the mouth and nose, trapping and destroying pathogens like bacteria and viruses" I believe these parts of the body are really good, as people generally do open their mouth either to speak or to eat food.
>>719381415I know all that, I'm saying the Utahraptor design doesn't look like it belongs in the same franchise as the canon Stan Winston designs. That's literally one of my only critiques about the Evolution series, is that a lot of the new dinosaurs they try to include don't look "Jurassic" enough.
>>719381701That's the Dominion prequel skin, and it's still not accurate, since it's a full-body fuzz which T. rex did not have and its body is still the regular Jurassic design.
>ummmm 50 gorillion years ago there were these huge epic lizards that had huge epic battles all the time!!!>my evidence...?? uh.... rocks..! you genuinely have to be retarded to believe that dinosaurs are real
>>719382000People want accurate dinosaurs, and the non-canon ones fulfill the demand. You can say it's Ingen listening to the customers for the new animals but keeping the classic animals as is for familiarity and recognition. That said even the accurate animals have varying amounts of embellishment, like the spines on Alamosaurus' neck and throat, the feet of the sauropods and ceratopsians being elephantine, and the entire designs of the Liopleurodon and Elasmosaurus.
>>719382128>only the second post of this in the entire threadDamn, you guys are really slacking today.
>>719382151This isn't about accuracy, I'm talking about a lack of distinct style clashing with the classic style. You can put a simple feather design on a regular Velociraptor and it'll still look like it's a "Jurassic Park" raptor, but that Utahraptor design looks more like some Paleo Twitter-inspired shit instead of looking like it was designed to blend into the franchise.Still, I think the biggest raptor species shouldn't be a feather representative while the regular raptors remain bare, it just seems dumb.
>>719382430>You can put a simple feather design on a regular Velociraptor and it'll still look like it's a "Jurassic Park" raptorYou mean the Pyroraptor?
>>719382560Sure, but that's ugly as shit, too. Horrible design, just awful.
>>719382151Nobody looks at JP and says they want "accurate" dinosaurs, the whole appeal is that they're mutants with designs and conventions of the 1990s. I laugh when I see the design of Rexy which outside of an aging color, has stayed the same compared to the Rebirth Spino which is now somehow a completely different design and interpretation to both the JP3 Spino and how a potential book Spino may have looked.
>>719382128More evidence then anything in the bible
>>719382646Personally I think having new non-canon dinosaurs be paleo-accurate is the best way to make them distinct and recognizable from the canon animals. Otherwise you get the Velociraptor/Atrociraptor situation where most people can't tell them apart.
>>719382619>>719382560>>719382430Jurassic Park 3 had the best looking Raptors: nice natural male patterning and colour on the body, sharp looking head quills, and the body is lean without being too emaciated or frog like. They very much read as, "the frog dna from the cloning process is slowly receding away due to more and more actual dinosaur dna reconstituting itself from natural breeding." With that said the series *almost* knew what to do when that scientist in world was talking about how none of the park's animals "look natural" due to them being synthetic chimeras. They could have easily had several broods of progressively more or less synthetic/hybridized dinosaurs, ones that were more retarded and aggressive, with the newer ones behaving more logical and looking more authentic, due to improvements in cloning/genetic engineering. It would have given them better/more logical material for why anybody does anything they do.I have no fucking idea who's in charge of, "two-headed dinosaur... Two-headed dinosaur and make the t.rex look like fetal alcohol syndrome" but they need to black list them. The new designs are fucking horrible.
>>719383157What I found funny in World is that the Raptor Squad was created from a new mix of genes that didn't include frog DNA, but did have several lizard species so that the raptors would still look like the classic scaly naked ones (in the expanded media they did make a fifth raptor using the original mix, but it became The Big One reborn and they had to euthanize it). They also did talk about making more realistic animals but decided not to because the general populace still saw and expected dinosaurs as the movie monsters of their childhoods.>I have no fucking idea who's in charge of, "two-headed dinosaur... Two-headed dinosaur and make the t.rex look like fetal alcohol syndrome" but they need to black list them. The new designs are fucking horrible.As explained upthread, that was Gareth Edwards and the writer's fault. Edwards doesn't care about dinosaurs and wanted to make a horror monster movie, the writer obliged by resetting the clock and creating yet another isolated island where Ingen/Masrani worked on created new ooky beasts for Jurassic World.
>>719383494NTA but I think even without Edwards theres the chance Rebirth still would've sucked. Jurassic Park is just a cursed brand and you can really only do so much with it. You can only do "dinosaurs chase people on an island, and the people don't have guns or communication" so many times before its stale and its been done 7 exact times within 30 years not counting the crappy little TV shows that exist. You know what would've been interesting? World is set in a universe where other companies have their own parks with animals from either the Cenozoic Era or Permian. Then it feels more believable for Ingen to want to introduce a new dinosaur to compete with Dodgson who has a park with sabertooth cats and a megaladon, which would explain why JW has an oversized mosasaurus. Or maybe say Mantah Corp is cloning recently extinct animals in a park like the tasmanian tiger, dodo, haast eagle etc.
>>719384076>You know what would've been interesting?More animals from different periods like you said, but also:-Companies secretly cloning and enslaving extinct hominids (Neanderthals, Denisovans, Erectus) as an in-house labor force. -Some kind of raptor or pterodactyl actually designed to be a weapon: sleek, camouflage, thermo-vision, and maybe an elongated bird-like head/horn that shoots venomous spines. -?Lets go to South East Asia for once?
>>719370253it's a retarded meme. Nature doesn't seleft for body parts to become smaller if they're supposed to be display features.Unironically, the only way that behavior would make sense is if Carno had long feathers/quills attacher to those tiny arms, so by rotating them he would become a burlesque dancer
>>719372949That's right, we're total shit. Now come have a sip at the waterhole, you must be thirsty.
>>719370770the game was actually pretty cooltoo bad my retarded 9yo brain couldn't beat it
>>719381974Yeah that sounds great on paper instead what they tend to do is swell up and cause issues.
I don’t think there’s a single good dinosaur game.
Swerve faggots. Max def coming through.
>>719366082>(((scientists)))Dinosaurs are the capeshit of science
>>719371604If a butcher finds a strange looking knife at a cutlery store, he'll quickly extrapolate what it's purpose is and how it's meant to be used. Well, it's the same thing with paleontologists, they find remains of animals and extrapolate their lifestyles out of them, it's often erroneous, but the field is always under heavy scrutiny and always reshapes itself.

>sequels nerf your main
>>719377432I would ask them to punch my pregnant mother in the stomach on the way back so i may never have to exist in such a world as that.
bump
>>719370253evolution is really good at making things smaller, but really bad at getting rid of things entirely.Whales still have Femurs for example. Small enough they no longer have much of an effect if they're there or not on the creature's fitness. As long as something has no effect on it's survival or reporductive chances, evolution can't do anything with it
>>719362882I can't be the only one who played this right. This game was so fun, it was basically Dinosaur Tekken.
>>719393340that bone is used in mating. just because it looks like a femur does not make it so. this whole "it kind of looks like x therefore it must BE x/come from x" is the definition of crock science lmao
