[QUOTE=ArcNova;21337130]I used to collect Dinosaur toys when I was a little kid and line them up in a single-file row on my backstep and tell everyone they were going to the Great Valley :frown:[/QUOTE] You reminded me of when in my old house while young, I had this awesome mini forest in my backyard and I'd put my dino toys there and play. Those days are gone now. :frown:
Wow Lizard King actually makes a good post. Ace thread, my man. Dinosaurs are kickin' rad.

I find it pretty amazing that creatures like this lived on our planet. Shame they died away.
[QUOTE=raccoon2112;21338059]get rid of double spacing pls, its annoying[/QUOTE] Sorry, I wrote it all up in word and when I pasted it over it all was messed up.
So, how long before this turns into a giant scalie orgy thread like the Dragon one? That makes me wonder, was the Dragon thread always full of porn?
I really really really hope it doesn't.
[QUOTE=The_Lizard_Xing;21344753]I really really really hope it doesn't.[/QUOTE] Me too. But I trust you, Lizard. You'll keep us safe from the perverts. Right? ...Right? :ohdear:
[QUOTE=Billiam;21337469]Does the Tyrannotitan compare to the other large theropods in regards to size?[/QUOTE] It belongs to the same family as the Gigantosaurus.
A nice thread. Some good info in here and it's about time someone dismissed some of those well-believed myths that stretch back as far as 200 years. I like how the examples you posted of dinosaurs from different eras aren't the typical ones loved by the masses. Where's all the information on the origin of birds and the link to maniraptors and all that jazz though? I know you've briefly mentioned colours and feathers, but the use of feathers (which also relates to your section on metabolism) and the origins of flight is a massive part of current palaeontology. If you need some quick information, I've got about 4000 words on the subject that I could post a little of. Some of it is on the metabolism debate though and how shit early palaeontology was.
[QUOTE=Deadly-Virus;21344655]So, how long before this turns into a giant scalie orgy thread like the Dragon one? That makes me wonder, was the Dragon thread always full of porn?[/QUOTE] The Dragon/Dargon etc thread(s) are still full of porn. However sometimes content is scarce. If it does become akin to the Dragon megathreads I predict a parting in the scalie community as to which thread is better. It'd be like, [B]titans of Dragon[/B] megathread versus[B] giants of Dinosaur[/B] megathread. Making them both seem normal sized.
Dinosaurs>Dragons.
[QUOTE=The_Lizard_Xing;21345935]Dinosaurs>Dragons.[/QUOTE] Because they exist?
Found your avatar source :v: [IMG]http://www.rareresource.com/photos/dino%20pictures/velociraptor.jpg[/IMG]
I think that was pretty obvious.
[QUOTE=ChestyMcGee;21345979]Because they exist?[/QUOTE] Dragons are pretty similar to Dinosaurs if you exclude the fact Dragons have wings. [QUOTE=ChestyMcGee]I think that was pretty obvious.[/QUOTE] Yeah, it wasn't hard to find.
I really like the idea proposed in Michael Crichton's [i]The Lost World[/i] (the book, the movie was a disgrace), that the dinosaurs died out because of behavioral change. Maybe two dinosaur species that had learned to behave together suddenly changed a small behavior. Perhaps there was a species of small dinosaurs that would drink water, and a larger species would protect them while drinking, and in turn the small dinosaurs would warn the larger if there was a predator near when they began feeding. Maybe, instead of small dinosaurs drinking while larger moved around them and protected them, the larger began to drink instead. That would leave the small dinosaurs open to attack by predators, meaning that the population would go down significantly, which means the larger species doesn't have a warning that predators are watching them, which causes a decrease in their population. That means that the predators begin to die, which causes the death of the scavengers that follow in the predators' wake, then the herbivore population grows without the predators to keep them in check, they eat all the plants in the area and begin to starve, forcing them into other areas they may not be adapted to. . . .
[QUOTE=ffffff-;21346015]Dragons are pretty similar to Dinosaurs if you exclude the fact Dragons have wings.[/QUOTE] And are fictional.
