We are all extremely proud of this design and are pleased to show you guys the fruits of our labor. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!! yeah not sorry, he looks dumb as shit. nuke the dumb feathers and weird beak head. 1) that “weird beak head” are actually lips like on a modern day monitor lizard2)feathers are not dumb, they are used to help cool,insulate,and camouflage the tyrannosaurus. I’m gunna just call you REDACTED. T-rex never had feathers and the weird beak head is not even remotely similar to the slender and tight cornered maw of a monitor lizard I really wish I could edit posts, because I then could cross out the r word on your post, which is highly offensive and you shouldn’t use that word, but here goes. A) This is an accurate T. rex in every respect, and I mean though the feathers are speculative, this is a very likely configuration for them B) The lips do look like a monitor lizard. I honestly don’t know what monitor lizards you’ve seen in life. C) Are you aware that Tyrannosaurs are very closely related to birds, and they were probably very similar to birds, much more so than monitor lizards? D) You do know that dinosaurs were living animals and that them being “cool” or your pre-formed idea of them is not accurate and they have no obligation to be the scaly almost-godzilla monsters that you want them to be? E) If you want games and things with tyrannosaurs like you want them to be (re: not real animals,) there are plenty of them. Hundred even. This is accurate, and yet, not the majority of representations. If anyone has a right to be mad, it is us. Sincerely, Someone who knows much, MUCH more than you about this subject, and is much, MUCH more qualified than you to talk about it. a-dinosaur-a-day my dash is glitching, I fixed their reply for you All dinosaurs are “closely related to birds” that however does not mean they all had fucking feathers. At some point in their evolution birds deviated from dinosaurs and that’s why they are called dinosaurs. They are unlike any creature that currently resides on earth they may have similarities but other than that they are different. The science community and paleontologists around the globe are constantly debating on what Dino’s looked like. Just because a few out of thousands of found skeletons had feathers doesn’t mean giant behemoths like trex had them. Also don’t insult someone just because you think your smarter seriously? Also your not much more qualified to take about it. The ones who are are the ones who spend years in college and have phd’s, and have gone in the field to study actual specimens. You my friend, are a simple person reading facts from books and online. So once again plz don’t insult someone just because you think your right, it never solves anything. Also he as a preference of what the could have looked like just as you do *heaviest of sighs* A) Birds are Dinosaurs B) T. rex probably had feathers due to phylogenetic bracketing results C) Because of fossil evidence being scant we have to use feathers and phylogenetic bracketing to extrapolate the integumentary structures of other organisms and most paleontologists agree that a good number of them had feathers and it was very possible for T. rex (lots of them didn’t though, here is me talking about it to show how I am doing my research) D) I have a bachelor’s degree in biology and I skipped getting a master’s to go straight to a PhD program where I’m studying macro patterns of evolution using developmental biology and genomics. I’ve also done extensive research in evolutionary biology and paleontology as an undergrad. So now, I’m not a simple person reading facts from books online. And if you had taken five seconds to research that, you would have found that out. What you are, person who I do not know, so do not call me your friend darthatlas777, is someone who automatically assumes things about people on the internet without research, and is looking for trouble and fights wherever you can. -- source link
