theropod: Yes. Shit. I don’t think the free world had any real plan B or contingency for the worst case scenario that has apparently ended up happening. Things were bad enough as it is, and nobody really has any capacity left to deal with it getting even shittier. Nov 6, 2024 19:38:01 GMT 5

Infinity Blade: I imagine tyrannosaurs having finesse through their premaxillary teeth. We know they could delicately scrape meat off of bones with those if they wanted to. Aug 28, 2024 1:29:55 GMT 5

Supercommunist: Anyone find it kind of weird how some people portay gigantosaurus as a finese predator compared to a tyrannosaurus? Given that tyrannosaurus had the smaller gape and the duller teeth, wouldn't it require more precision? Aug 27, 2024 23:49:00 GMT 5
