It probably results from over-reliance on comparison with crocodilians and birds (neither of which have lips), even though both of these groups are specialized to a degree that they no longer need them.

The Megalodon's size is perfectly fine, no need to worry there indeed. Same with the Trike, really. As for the scale, yeah it has issues (rex is rearing up but the person who made it didn't take that into account, Quetz is a little small, etc). I do hate how ARK scaled things, making some things overly large while keeping others normal sized. I get it with some things to make them rideable, but the rex doesn't need to be 4 times its normal size. It also makes the island look smaller than it actually is.
Especially when the dragon itself is LITERALLY this big, (Terrible pic by me) and they're adding a Sauropod that will be the same size as, if not larger than, the dragon. Hopefully that person's judgement is wrong, but the dossier speaks otherwise. Plus, that theropod-looking thing in the dossier probably isn't a giga according to the size comparison. Let's hope no carnivores get that big...
If you look really close you can see some tiny little people on the bottom right

Well. Now I myself think the ARK Devs went a bit to far with this thing



When people claim that things like Pterosaurs and Marine Reptiles are dinosaurs >_<

When you've met people who call mammoths and Dimetrodon dinosaurs, pterosaurs and marine reptiles are a minor case by comparison.

Whats worse is that people still think that Dragons and Pterosaurs are equal.

Hell, 45% of the US population still believes people lived alongside

Let me just put this into perspective here:

MESOZOICA, the game RENOWNED for taking massive dumps on scientific ethics and accuracy, is actually resorting to preaching actually scientifically accurate content to someone who's making less sense than Mesozoica.

It's like watching Jeremy Clarkson telling someone to be more environmentally friendly.

I've literally seen everything now.

Except for Jeremy Clarkson telling someone to be more environmentally friendly.

Or David Peters telling someone to make better use of evidence and scientific reasoning, for another example.

"Why grandma, what big teeth you have."

-"The better to eat you with, my dear."

"oh swell. i love big teeth."



and that sums up Jurassic Park.

A Tyrannosaurus for an upcoming game on Roblox. It DOES have accurate proportions AFAIK, and it's better than I could build. However, it's essentially bald and should not be called "accurate" like it is currently. I've known Rany100 for a while, and I can't help but to be a bit upset with him to be honest. He should know better than to not give T. rex proper plumage.

EDIT: I should specify that the reason why the dinosaur blocky is because Roblox games consist mainly of Lego-like bricks. They are so Lego-like that the default bricks even have studs and inlets. xD
