What annoys you about paleontology?; Rant on about moronic theories, complaints, or just animals that annoy you.

I still think it looks cool TBH, but I liked the other design better too.

I just think the tiger stripes are cheesy, if the whole thing was white stripes on black like the head is than I think it'd look more interesting

I agree with Stargatedalek, if they had made the pattern less obviously ripped directly from a tiger, it would have been nice, but the fact it's the exact colouration of a tiger is kind of annoying :P (the same reason I'm not a huge fan of the DR Gigantoraptor, or Cassowary-Oviraptorosaurs)

Yeah, IMO modern animal based restorations are less realistic, because, even though we don't know about them, my guess is that they have very different colorations, probably ones that we haven't thought about (except for Archaeopteryx and Sinornithosaurus, that we now know). It's not very plausible for 2 animals to have the same, exact coloration. Me myself, used to draw dinosaurs based on some modern animal colorations, but now I don't really base the features on them, mostly wattles is what I add to the archosaurs I draw, that is based from birds. But that's my opinion, I'm not quite an expert on it compared to most people here.

I just said it looked cool, I didn't say it was realistic. :P

In my opinion, modern animals patterns on extinct ones, while lacking originality, could help spreading the idea that they were just animals.

Speaking of TSL, the number of arseholes on the forum annoys me.

The fact that some people call Pterosaurs birds >_<

Also the fact that people only use the redeposited excuse for the dinosaurs. Why do people hate the idea of them living earlier then once thought?

The assumption that anything dinosaur-related must, in some way, be targeted towards children. You don't know how many complaints I've seen from idiotic parents whining that the latest paleo-documentary "bored their kids". Did they consider the possibility that it just might be because such documentaries aren't intended to appeal exclusively to little kids? Of course they didn't, because an explicitly shown scene of a tyrannosaurid violently murdering a young hadrosaur or of a sauropod couple copulating furiously are obviously the kinds of things that small children just love to see. :P

regardless of childrens marketing or not
animals having sex (animated or not) in a documentary is always something I find freaky

Acrotholus in the Jurassic? Well, if you want to make an essay about a subject, then do research on it!

And now at last, Nasutoceratops is a close relative to bulls >:(

Bulls are synapsids unlike dinosaurs including Nasutoceratops are archosaurs. Acrotholus lived in the Late Cretaceous. People can be ignorant.

While doing some research on Darwinopterus (still don't know how big they were), I found a site saying that they were like hawks, using their talons to catch preys and finish them with their beaks.
