Yes. Animal Planet, Discovery Channel, and History Channel. Aliens killed off the dinosaurs so humans can be the dominant species. ![]() Spoiler: click to toggle Oh and

I don't think the last one is bad, sure, it has the vulture look that Tris here hates, but I think it's nice ... |

As Dalek said, I dislike the look purely because it is overused to the point of seeming more like a gag "look at how ugly they are", rather than an actual serious illustration. The vulture look is not inaccurate though. THOSE specific reconstructions on the other hand, are. The bottom one lacks leg wings, and the top one has feathers that end way to far up the snout. Edit: This is a bit old, 2 months to be exact, but hey, hating on these people is always relevant: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fIXmG57OL7Y Dnews, welcome to stupid. Subject matter: A diplodocid that survived the jurassic mass extinction. Actual report: Make fun of its name, and then claim it survived the cretaceous mass extinction, and that birds are not dinosaurs. Conclusion: Dnews are god damn idiots.

the top one has some issues with general proportions, but the bare face/throat/boot while not conservative, is not technically inaccurate and entirely plausible the same goes for hind-wings on the bottom, they are the most likely assumption, but its not technically inaccurate to leave them out Dnews is screwed up, and the rest of Discovery channel is following suit Edited by stargatedalek, Aug 11 2014, 01:29 PM.

@Nomis It's not a troll, it's a joke? People make up CIA and FBI conspiracies like this all the time because it's funny. I've personally never heard this one before, but I've definitely heard about the Pokemon one. P.S I happen to like vultures too Edited by Drax, Aug 11 2014, 01:42 PM.

If you sell them to private collectors... probably. But I doubt it's possible to fake a fossil that an expert wouldn't identify. |
