[QUOTE=Key_in_skillee;28260053]Proof that natural selection does not favor being totally awesome. I'll start with the only dinosaur most people really give a fuck about. Image tagged for size.

And yes, birds are dinosaurs, we all know this, please don't be a smartass and post a bunch of modern day birds. Dinosaur-like creatures that aren't technically dinosaurs (such as pteranodon) are welcome, but please don't be posting crap like saber-tooths and mammoths. Dinosaurs (aside from birds) can be generally described as terrestrial archosaurian reptiles with limbs held erect beneath the body, that existed from the Late Triassic to the Late Cretaceous. Remember, images are like dinosaurs: Bigger is better! Also, info is welcome (I'll try to add some stuff to this post in time.)[/QUOTE] This guy faps to dinos btw just thought i'd share. also he's an alt of Helix Snake please ban him he loves dino dick and makes a new thread in the furry forum every 2 weeks (but since you lucky buggers aint got no furry forum anywhere he's moved to GD) [editline]24th February 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=c0nk3r;28261932]god i was so scared of this when i saw it thought it was going to be like the dragon thread :suicide:[/QUOTE] Wanna see his other threads.

T-rexes are fucking awesome. The heroes should at least have one.

[QUOTE=tehMuffinMan;28264214][img_thumb]http://redsoxx84vids.webs.com/photos/Dinos/spinosaurus.jpg[/img_thumb] SPINOSAURUS DEMANDS PAGE 2[/QUOTE] Fun fact: Spinosaurus ate fish. For some reason whoever wrote the Jurassic Park sequels thinks that any carnivorous dinosaur, even scavengers, fish eaters and insectivores, will try to snack on a human the first chance they get. Also, humans can't fight off the reptilian equivalent of a pack of squirrels.

Also, humans can't fight off the reptilian equivalent of a pack of squirrels.[/QUOTE] All spinosaurids (Like Baryonyx or Irritator) had those crocodile-like jaws adaptated to fish-eating habits. And no animal will attack a human unless you piss it off, invade its teritory, eat its children or something: they'll only attack you if they confuse you with a common prey. For example, don't sit/crouch in front of a tiger or a jaguar because it will confuse you with a monkey and kill you, and don't swim like a seal in front of a shark or you can say bye-bye to a leg or your surf board. But, you know, action flicks are always like that, so no hard feelings v:v:v

I used to be [B]obsessed[/B] with dinosaurs as a little kid. I would collect dinosaur statues and books and documentaries and everything. :3:
Dinosaurs had a whole ero for themselves. You cant say that about any other group of animals ever and proves how awesome dinos are.
I have a whole closet full of giant dinosaurs that I got from Disney Animal Kingdom over the years. Idk what to do with them, they're just there.

[QUOTE=Carne;28266166]Send them to me. Damnit, I only clicked once.[/QUOTE] I would but there's like six or seven of them and they're huge. Would cost me a heap in postage.
I fucking love dinosaurs. I got sent to the principal's office in 2nd grade because of them. I hit some kid that liked the herbivore dinosaurs at lunch. Those are for pussies.
I have shirts with dinosaurs on them
It won't take much longer 'till this becomes dragon megathread's twin brother. Also fuck yeah dinosaurs <3

No mention of Primal Carnage? For shame! [url]http://www.primalcarnage.com/website/[/url] I've loved Dinosaurs ever since I saw Jurassic Park back in 1993. They are the most amazing creatures to ever walk this earth.
