A horribly outdated Tyrannosaurus eating a horribly outdated hadrosaur, it seems. |

Maybe this is a bit late to comment on this argument, but those weren't coelurosaurs. Coelophysoids were far more primitive animals not closely related to the coelurosaurs. |

Aside from the fact that unless the tyrannosaur broke whatever it's eating's leg, then that prey animals leg is backwards. And the fact that the tyrannosaur's body looks like a sausage with legs.

I really know nothing in depth about dinosaurs, and wouldn't be able to tell them apart mostly for the life of me, but It does annoy me when people think that all dinosaurs were exactly like they were in the Jurassic park movies. I mentioned to someone one that Velociraptors likely had feathers and they called me and idiot -_- It also annoys me when people think that dinosaurs were these primitive extremely vicious wild things... I don't see how that works... T-rex ate other dinosaurs. It didn't commit genocide or anything... Edited by Athena, Oct 17 2013, 07:45 PM.

How long has that statue been there? If that sculpture was erected any more recently than the year 1900, then these morons were woefully behind in paleontology. @Smaug: While I agree with most of your post, there's one part that I feel the need to correct. Velociraptor didn't just likely have feathers, it did have feathers. Edited by CyborgIguana, Oct 17 2013, 07:47 PM.

I know. It kinda looks like what a frog does when swallowing a big meal- when they gulp and push the food into their mouths at the same time. |

yeah, that was a few years ago when we didn't really have solid evidence. |

I'm also annoyed when people complain that if dinosaurs were cloned they would break free and destroy human civilization. WTF?? These are ANIMALS, not Kaiju!! They won't go on a randomly destructive killing spree and destroy the planet if we let them loose (not that I'd recommend letting them run amok, but the consequences wouldn't be NEARLY as dire as some people seem to believe). I don't even know where they're getting this "dinosaurs wiping out humanity" rubbish from! |

The fact that all dinosaur documentaries seem to be mandated to have the same setting for the extinction: North America. Couldn't we have an episode with T. rex, Triceratops, Anatotitan and Troodon that DOESN'T focus on the extinction? Even the 44-minute long DR episode with T. rex still shoehorned in the extinction in the end! Why? It's not necessary! Couldn't we have an episode focusing on the extinction from the viewpoint of the Mongolian dinosaurs like Velociraptor and Protoceratops and give the Hell Creek critters a break for once?! |

Both of those dinos were extinct by the time of the K/T extinction. The Mongolian dinos that actually witnessed the extinction included, among others, Tarbosaurus, Therizinosaurus, Charonosaurus, Saurolophus, Nemegtosaurus, and Tarchia. But I agree that Hell Creek is portrayed far too often as the extinction viewpoint. At least Planet Dinosaur had the decency to feature Hateg Island as the setting for it instead.

Meanwhile Animal Armageddon, which shows the extinction from the viewpoints from dinosaurs all over the globe, slowly heads to the corner and cries. And are yous ure Therizinosaurus and Tarbosaurus were alive at the time of the exticntion? Because I think I once heard they weren't. |

Really? Well, I've just learnt a new thing! But could you please give me the source of the information? I'm not trying to be a pain but I'd really like to see it.
