People who think science or nature should cater to their particular preferences are ESPECIALLY annoying.

Sharks too apparently xD

I don't know why you guys seem to be bother for this things so much. I find them hilarious but not annoying. I mean if something like this happens in a documentary or some kind of educative media i would find it not only annoying but outrageous, but games are just to have fun and not to be taken seriously (except some games that aimed for scientific accuracy like Saurian).

This remind me though to the other day when i was watching Pacific Rim and one of the scientists says something like "The Kaijus have a secondary brain. They are too big so they need a second brain. You know, like the dinosaurs"

I kind of facepalmed my self at the moment because that it really is an ANCIENT theory that i didn't think people still believe nowadays, but then i laughed at the stupidity of the writers and enjoyed the movie for what it was. A fun, monsters vs robots movie.

The amount of times I've heard that tyrannosaurid arms were useless. Because apparently short = useless. I'm guessing those arms are just insanely muscular for their size for no reason whatsoever, huh?

You can call Abelisaurs' arms useless though except if it has displaying purpose like in All Yesterday.

But they kept them, so that means it probably have a purpose.

Or they were on their way out and Abelisaurs just didn't have enough time on Earth to get rid of them xD

That fact that I can search Dunkleosteus and get "dunkleosteus vs megalodon" as a result.

Because yes, a fight between a 6m animal and a 18m one totally needs debate on who would win.

I'm so tired of seeing people post on social media that scientists are ruining thier childhoods with feathered dinosaurs. Hey news flash! Jurassic park isn't accurate it never was!
