another one from this same museum/park/zoo whatever as that "deinonychus"
unlike the deinonychus more than just the picture is inaccurate, so are the little "fact" thingies
Marabou storks are suddenly scavengers? I fail to see how they are more scavengers than any other stork/heron

should I even bother? sure I'll bite :P

whales in the area, theres your hint right there, I immediately discredit any claims of marine cryptids in areas with whales nearby
then again, WTF is this magic "thriving whale ecosystem"? in the Miocene maybe? oh no wait, mosasaurs were still dead at that point
polygraph machines prove bull, criminals fake their way through them all the time, not to mention these people probably believed what they claimed, still doesn't make it true

have fun with that, also have fun with your Mc-cockatrice nuggets since nothing can have more than a partial coating of feathers

can I curse? staff? please can I? oh fine....

this guy needs to get a brain, he seems to believe dinosaurs are related to birds and yet not that dinosaurs have feathers, that is honestly something new to me
I've heard the opposite all the time, that feathered dinosaurs don't prove the bird relation, but I've never heard this level of crazy existed

OMG, does this guy seriously think the mafia has motives to support feathered dinosaurs, holy f-- right, can't use that word here.....
again another feather hater who is poorly hiding his racism towards Asia, even using mafia stereotypes, stupid bas-- no I should probably assume that words not allowed here either

no better than "dogmatic creationists" does that mean 6 day creationists? this statement offends me very personally

oh, JP fanboy, now this makes some degree of sense

while I personally do support the idea of tyrannosaurus being primarily, not by any means entirely, a scavenger...
this guys looney
my sincere apologies to Canadian dollars, diving birds, and cartoons everywhere for the comparison

spinosaurus and tyrannosaurus lived on different continents in different times

oh god lol
half of those aren't even recognized species (anymore)
and only a select few lived at the same time as tyrannosaurus

hmm, while again I do sort of support the rex scavenger theories...
the JP3 spinosaurus was highly inaccurate, not for its time, but it no longer represents anything close to the real animal
and the JP rex is shockingly accurate if you really think about it, by comparison at least to most other JP dinosaurs (or other tyrannosaurs in media)

woot last one thank god, that took ages xD
and its an especially gross one at that...
you know when I saw the dragons I knew I just had to mention the creationist museum ;)
most of those seem to be molds that are stolen or reused from the 80's, not being funny this time, I used to own some like a few of those (I had the pterosaur, plenty of those sauropods, that hadrosaur and carnosaur) and I recognize the macrauchenia and brontotherium, I think its brontotherium anyway or something similar (I'm not so good with mammals)
the fact these molds are still being used is shameful, and I honestly don't know if its any more shameful if they were so blatantly stolen, or if the original company is still using them

I... I just can't....

I suppose it can be reasonable to dislike feathered dinosaurs if you see stuff these guys:

None of those carnivores cited are from the same area or even same time as Tyrannosaurus Rex. Tyrannosaurus was the largest predator of the area it lived in, Hell Creek Formation. Also Spinosaurus didn't weigh 20 tons and ate mostly fish. It's teeth are suited to catch slippery prey like fish without them escaping and the oxygen isotopes in Spinosaurs are more like those of crocodiles than say Tyrannosaurus Rex. Spinosaurus unlike Tyrannosaurus Rex lived with other giant carnivores like Carcharadontosaurus and eating primarily fish was a form to avoid competition. Also Macrauchenia is a mammal and not a dinosaur. Also many fossils of dinosaurs like edmontosaurus show healing of bones most likely caused by Tyrannosaurus. Wait Abulysodon is now shown to be just a Tyrannosaurus Rex and many of the dinosaurs shown clearly are shown to not exist anymore like the Abulysodon.
@DinoBear- those feathered dinosaurs were made by people who clearly slapped feathers on the dinosaurs without any thought

It's an Uintatherium :P

There's more non-dinosaurs in that toy set than dinosaurs... (and I use the term dinosaur extremely loosely to describe those horrors)

at least the dilophosaurus is relatively close to accurate, a fit on the fat side tho

I also think Dilophosaurus probably would've had a partial covering of protofeathers, that's just me though.

Here's a gem of the most recent tetzoo troll, a person who still tries to argue for ratite vicariance in spite of the contrary studies:
