An ankylosaur's armor is much more complicated than "a turtle shell"

Meh, with Kulindadromeus here, I think the list of dinosaurs with some kind of feather-ish integument can be added to ornithopods, and even more if EPB is used..

I wouldn't say more complicated, just different

Wouldn't it be cool if the Ankylosaurus could hide in its armor.

The fact that in a week I'm going to have to go back to school and start hearing "Hey look, it's that dinosaur kid! Hahaha!" again. It's called having my own interests, morons! You wouldn't understand that, being mindless drones that blindly follow whatever stupid thing becomes popular next.

Off topic: Oh yes people always follow the popular stuff. Now everyone wants to take selfies and twerk.

On topic:People using Protoavis, which probably isn't a bird, to prove evolution between birds and dinosaurs is a lie.

The argument that giant azhdarchids were flightless. Basically all it boils down to is "They were big, and big things don't fly".

The biggest azhdarchids are much bigger than condors of course, but that doesn't mean they couldn't fly. :P

I hate twerking, its not only overused but its kind of vulgar >_<

I don't have a problem with large azhdarchids being considered primarily terrestrial in terms of behavior, only flying for traveling long distances, but obviously they could still fly and its kind of odd to claim otherwise, considering how highly adapted they were for flight even at gargantuan sizes, if they had become entirely terrestrial there would have been more obvious signs of it than just size

Obviously they were mostly terrestrial, just not entirely. Flight would've been an energy-demanding activity for such enormous animals, so they probably wouldn't have used it very often, but doubtless they were still capable of flying when they needed to.

That articles like this have to be constantly written. And that people still don't understand most of the subject, even though they supposedly read them. I decided to share this link, should someone seek some answers on the topic of evolution, whether for themselves or someone they know. Please, enjoy.

I'm annoyed by a comment that I came across on Deviantart that said Acheroraptor was Utahraptor-sized. Um...how about no?

When Christian sects say Dinosaurs are fictional and the 'bones' were put here by god to test mankind's faith.

They even still use Mankind... Humanity is a much better term, as it is less culturally sexist, at least from my standpoint.
