No way! T-Rex is more awesomer than that. He'd be all like "Rawwr!" and stegosaurus would be all like "no don't kill me!" and T-Rex would be all like "too bad!" chomp chomp chomp!
are you lightfooted?

Everyone knows dinosaurs had feathers and that's where we get birds from!

I'm a bird. I am the 1% (of pets).

This is a Liopleurodon. Over 25 m long, up to 150 tons with a three meter long mouth and teeth twice as long a Tyrannosaurus.

This is the best dinosaur!

I see an opening for a "____ is the best dinosaur" site, in the spirit of Blank Is Your New Bicycle

On an unrelated note, this There Will Be Bud trailer is the best thing I've seen all week.

contrary to popular belief Man is the best dinosaur...

actually its a woman... my 7th grade english teacher to be specific.... she must've been like 1,400,000,000 years old back when I had her... so that would make her closer to 1,400,000,009 now.... crazy to think...

TRex learned how to terrorize from her...
i'm telling you

Mrs. Kasim it is.

stupid Jurrasic park. Flag waving for the velociraptor, which was actually around the size of a turkey. It was just that no one could pronounce Deinonychus properly.


debate over.

Actually the Raptor depicted in JP was a Utahraptor which is much larger than a normal Raptor. I believe it was discovered after the movie, however, but Spielberg felt it needed to be larger and more terrifying. Lucky for him such a creature actually existed.

I remember they originally wanted to call it Utahraptor spielbergi, but apparently the wider paleontological community wound up vetoing that idea.

Yes but the pic on Wikipedia looks nothing like the JP raptors.


Nothing rains on Deinonychus' parade...NOTHING!
