that's just ignorance, it's just like people saying COD is best game ever and never played a different game. if said people would look deeper into the subject, they will likely change opinion (or mantain the same for more logical reasons). |

Stephen, I think that, to show someone how impressive and (If that's your goal) how baddass they were you don't need to go that far, for example, my friend who isn't very interested in Dinosaurs thinks that Pachycephalosaurus is the most awesome Dinosaur. So I think you won't need to go very far to show them how dazzling Dinosaurs could be. You could start with (I know some of these are famous, but anyways): Spinosaurus: Explain about his Sail no being an acual Sail, but rather a mix between a Hump and a Sail, also explain that he mostly wasn't that brawling terror shown in Jurassic Park, but rather a mix between a terrestrial hunter and a crocodile-like fisher. Sinosauropteryx: Explain how he was was one of the (If not the) first Feathered Dinosaurs to be found, and also how, through exquisite search we could determine it's color, learning that it was orange with white spots. Therizinosaurus: They will love it, explain about his giant claws, and how it used them for grabbing foliage rather then using them for attacking and killing other creatures. Also say hw much confusion it created to the people who discovered it, who thought it was a turtle-like reptile at first. Dracorex: Talk about it's peculiar head, used for banging (I think Flat-Headed Pachycephalosaurs banged them, unlike Dome-Headed Pachycephalosaurs), and also explain about it's name, that means "Dragon King of Hogwarts", and later say that it may not even be a separate species but a juvenile of Pachycephalosaurus instead. Iguanodon: Talk about it's early discovery, and the many representations it had, from Giant Iguana, to Crystal Palace's. Also talk about it's thumb spike, and how it's been placed on it's nose. Dilong and Yinlong: Talk about their relationships with -Rex and Triceratops respectively. Also talk about how a group of Guanlong became trapped in a Volcano Ash Pit, that was recently unearthed in China by Paleontologists. I have to leave now, I'll say more later if you want me to. |

Firstly what is a Tyrannosaurus Rex? I know what a Tyrannosaurus rex is, but never heard of a Tyrannosaurus Rex. These two points are a bit contradictory. In one you are talking about how Tyrannosaurus rex needs more attention and in the other how it needs less attention. Rather confusing. |

Really.... Because I capitalize the second part of the Rex's name does not make it another species..... Also I was not contradicting myself, I was saying I met somebody who does not know what a T-Rex is, or never even learned that there was a T-Rex to begin with... I mean most normal people would know T-Rex even in it's... Most sinister form AKA Barney.... Plus what I said second was saying that people are ignorant about Tyrannosaurs Rex is a apex predator of the dinosaur world where raptors, Brachiosaurus, Apatosaurus, and all the other dinosaurs live in the same time murdering one another every five minutes. Then not only do they think that, but however that they are giant as hell lizards that drag their tails like some giant crocodiles..... |

You did the capitalisation again. It does mean that you are talking about something else. I believe a while ago in the picture that made you day topic there was a graphic about. I think you should check it out. I am not gonna argue about this with you as I remember what happened last time and I don't wish for things to escalate again. I think we shall just agree to disagree? |

It does, as if you capitalize the second name you aren't talking about a species anymore

It sounds like someone's very fancy Latin name. Like Elephas Maximus, Eublepharis Macularis, and Canis Lupus, don't they sound like people's long lost historical name when the second name is capitalized? |

Everything in that picture is a horrid abomination except the neck pouch, or dewlap.... I mean it would be more baggy but the everything else except the skeletal structure is horrible. I mean the sail on the crest is a okay that is odd. Everything like the bipedal form and the strange spinal fins is horrible.... |

Well that's Dave Peters for you, he seems to think pterosaurs are from another dimension that has different physics and natural laws than ours. |
