I see no reason why some dinosaurs couldn't be nocturnal. The original idea from 50 years ago was that dinos ruled the day and mammals ruled the night, because dinos were cold blooded and mammals were warm blooded. That myth has been well and truly debunked in many different ways now.

Some birds are nocturnal, not just owls but frogmouths, nightjars, etc. Koels, seagulls, night herons call at night. Some lizards are cold blooded but nocturnal, like my local geckos. Crocodiles tend to hunt at night.

So, would you like to hazard a guess as to which dinosaurs were nocturnal. Paint a picture of dinos going about their normal business at night.

Did the age of dinosaurs go like this,

Triassic-Extinction-Jurassic-Extiction-Cretacous-Extinction

Or did the periods just smoothly transition into eachother

The one to the right is supposed to me AMNH5027 and the left one is just me taking individual variation to the max

I mean, if our pathetic homosapien bodies were able to digest dinosaur meat, how would it taste? Like-would it be soft or hard to chew on,would it feel gamey or something similar. Would it taste a bit like other cooked avaians like chicken or duck, you know-because dinosaurs and birds are related. Heck, I imagine Gigantoraptor tasting a bit like a turkey. Or what about marnie reptiles, would the meat taste a bit salty or have a sort of fishing flavor. Or flying lizards like the pteranadons, who I'm guessing don't have a lot of meat.

Not only is it cringe and cheap analog horror material but its also not even close to what Tyrannosaurus sounded like. Like, this shit is just a fucking edited goose 😭😭😭

I think the idea of feathers being an inherently reptilian trait would sort of change my (bad) opinion on feathered dinosaurs for the better. This is because the big reason I like dinosaurs is them being reptilian, but feathers kind of took away from that for me, but if feathers are truly a reptilian trait as well as avian, that might shift my view.

• is Jurassic park 3 a good movie? Never had the chance to watch but now I have.

Could something like an arctic spinosaurid have had penguin like feathers?

Just finished this awesome series, and though every episode was great, Desert was probably my favourite

Are there any dinosaur museums or other paleontology related things in Illinois, I’m moving there soon because I have a military dad, help please?
