          he's referencing a study published a couple weeks back that everyone here is familiar with because we had a thread on it.

          It suggested the incredible and astonishing idea that a big bony sail sticking 12 feet out of your back is going to make you top heavy in the water.

          it ignored the possibility of spino doing the backstroke.

            ok maybe it hunted fish upside down, checkm8 4chinners, jk

            Also if the study mentioned it correct, it would make Spinosaurus the only known dinosaur that COULDN'T swim.

            irony.

            it's over :'c

            Okay, so basically, it doesnt stood upright either, but on all fours because of the weight of the sail, well that sucks, is there any redeeming qualities of this dino?

              It's most widely accepted stance right now is either a pongolin walk or this which would make spinosaurus the tallest theropod dinosaur to date.

            An animal like that isn't going to last long.

        The artist makes such an interesting depiction of Allosaurus. He is somehow capable of making it seem like an actual majestic animal without making it a straight up bird or a crocodilian like most artists.

        I say this as someone who hates most Theropods other than Ornithomimosaurs and Oviraptorosaurs and DESPISES carnivorous Theropods: Allosaurus is pretty. That and Dilophosaurus are the only ones I kind of like because of their head crests.

        Why not use your incredible powers of autism to critique literally everything else of that crazy ass chimera? Or is it all forgiven because they angled the hands according to your preferences?

        What would be the point? JW's dinosaurs are retarded. But it's still hilarious that JP gets the hands right and modern paleontologists can't.

      As a presumable herd animal, Parasaurolophus and any other hadrosaurid's primary defense would have been numbers. A unified herd becomes an impenetrable wall to an Albertosaurus or any late Cretaceous megapredator. There were probably 10,000 of the fuckers to every contemporary Tyrannosaur, and the Tyrannosaur could probably survive taking down just a dozen of them each year, or even less (or perhaps more, as this is all presumptive). It'd be just like modern herd animals, wildebeest in the African savannah for example: lions don't rush right in to a million-strong herd to take what they want, they find the weak, sick, elderly, orphaned infant, or just plain stupid stragglers on the edges.

      Of course all that is infinitely less exciting than a Styracosaurus jamming its headspikes into a Gorgosaur

      Parasaurolophus likely weren't (large) herd animals. They were an upland forest species and we have few remains of them so they likely lived in small groups at most. Hadrosaurs were pretty big and strong and that tail was serious business.

      Who needs defences when you can just outbreed the competition?
      And you can outbreed the competition because you can chew, making you plain better at eating than your non-chewing competitors.

          No. Ceratopsids had very advanced chewing mechanisms as well. Ceratopsids may have had the largest chewing muscles of any animal in the entire fossil record, though "technically" they *sliced* their food. You have to make that distinction or the pedants will have a conniption fit.

        air sacs
        everything crazy about dinosaurs can be instantly and easily explained by away by reminding people they had air sacs like birds
        people vastly overestimate the weights of sauropods anyway, even the big ones probably tipped the scales at 30 tons
        you have to remember that sauropods of the Jurassic were not the rare trundling elephant or giraffe or rhinoceros, they were the wildebeest, the zebra, the buffalo, it's likely they weighed much less and ate much less than is commonly estimated

        • 5 months ago
          Anonymous

          Oh I know, but I disagree with your reasoning. Air sacs weren't filled with helium. Sauropods were heavy as fuck. The reason there was so much Dinosaur biomass is because the entire planet was tropical (more or less) and they were cold-blooded (not sorry, featherfags). The overabundance of herbivore species in the Mesozoic has been a long-running mystery for which cold-bloodedness has been considered one solution. I agree with that.

            It's sorta obvious since you got an animal the size of 100 cows feeding itself through a head and mouth equal to 1 cow.

            On the flip side it's also meaningless since once you get something that size hot in the sun it's going to take weeks to cool off.

            The man's question isn't if sauropods were cold blooded, but if their predators were.

    Tyrannosaurus is just so superlative that it’s hard to not like him, even as normie as he is.
    Deinonychus has always been a compelling animal, whether it’s because of the tenontosaurus “pack kill” assemblage or its “just right” size.
    Alamosaurus was a revelation to me when I learned of it, as a late Cretaceous Laramidian Titanosaur.
    I love the way Herrersaurus is nearly a classic early theropod, but with traits so weird we can’t even say for certain it isn’t a Sauropodomorph or maybe even a third thing.
    The ProSauropods like Plateosaurus are amazing too, with their weird combination features.

    Carnotaurus. I know it's really popular, but it's a damn-fine-osaur.

      >Ok Wauf what's your favorite dinosaur?

      I think Ceratosaurus is pretty neat. I like that it has a single horn on its' snout.
      I concur with the Allosaurus census in the thread as well:

      Allosaurus. For obvious reasons.

      1. Feathered T. rex
      2. Dimetrodon
      3. Wooly Mammoth
      4. Indoraptor
      5. Dinosauroid

      Shitposting aside, my favorite ever since I was a kid has been Allosaurus.

      Allosaurus and Dilophosaurus are probably the only carnivorous dinosaurs that I will admit are nice looking. Herrerasaurus is fascinating because of its weird phylogeny.

      With that said I also have a really big soft spot for Hadrosaurs and Ceratopsids because of just how diverse and varied they are with all the shit on their face. I love all the different styles of horns, hood ornaments, etc.. Super interesting. I don't really like Sauropods, but I will concede their sheer SIZE is amazing. It's always crazy to see how big a herbivore can get.

        They’re descendants may have lived up into the 1800.

          I've read that story and the only reason I don't 100% completely believe it to be a complete work of fiction is because it has several extremely auHispanicious anachronistic details for a story written in 1908:
          -The polar Ceratosaurus is described as being covered in "short black mottled fur that resembles the dense coarse hair of a boar".
          -They ascribe to it the correct bird-like posture of a therapod dinosaur from the description of how it laid down. It also rose from a laying position using only it's legs and could 'leap' into a sprint just like how a flightless bird can.
          -The men also said the polar Ceratosaurus was alarmingly agile & fleet footed, and not at all sluggish or plodding.
