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!
The first movie was pretty accurate for its time compared to others.

Not terrible for the time (definitely exaggerated though), but of course some things like venomous frilled pygmy Dilophosaurus were never accurate.

All of the "living Megalodon" hoaxes that seem to be littered all over the internet. Especially since many people believe that they are real. :/

Someone 2 days ago told me Megalodon was a Dinosaur.



It's gonna be a long year...

Maybe he confused it with Megalosaurus? Probably not, though.

Nope, He said that Megalodon is a Living Dinosaur.

Are you telling me that this is not the most accurate Megalodon reconstruction?

When people criticze all of David Peter's work, sure his latest stuff is the most inaccurate garbage but his earlier stuff was ahead of it's time.

Yes, dinosaurs had feathers. I still HATE it when scientists think every dinosaur was COVERED in feathers! (Yes, that was a bit of an exaggeration.) I've seen a paleontologist criticize a SPINOSAURUS MODEL FOR NOT HAVING FEATHERS.

It isn't impossible because some animals from Saurischia and Ornithischia had feathers/quills and Pterosaurs had feather like structers too ( which means their common ancestor could have primitive feathers too ), but if all dinosaurs would have feathers/quills, not all would be fully covered in them.

I didn't say I think that every dinosaur had feathers, I just said it is possible :P ( although this the chance is really small ) .

So what are we supposed to do with the skin impressions from hadrosaurs and Carnotaurus that show that their entire bodies were covered in fine scales?

And sauropods, and ceratopsians.
