So this list is one of those lists that people create describing the size of some dinosaurs. This one seems more legit than the rest considering it's from this year but I'm still having my doubts what do you guys think?

Better than a list with T.rex or Spinosaurus as first place.

I don't think you quite understood this is a list of the largest dinosaurs ever discovered.

I know, I mean that the most of these lists use T-rex or Spino for the first place, although they aren't the biggest dinosaurs.

Well monitor lizards have sharp teeth sheathed by thick lips, and they seem to avoid biting their lips pretty well. :P
Well yeah, except I'm not sure how their mouths function so well either...

The same way as dinosaur lips would, actually. Headden wrote a good article on his blog about the options available for dinosaur lips.

Agreed.

In fact, a whole lot of lizards have rather sharp teeth but don't bite their lips. That's because lizard lips are a bit more sturdy, from my observations, and are less likely to bend backwards into the mouth, if at all.

What is the general consensus on Megacerops, fur or rhinoceros-like skin. Also when was Brontotherium considered a member of Megacerops?

saurian said their new rex had something called bilateral plumulaceous feathers (or something like that.) where may I find a reference to these feathers appearance? also could iridescence be possible in this type of feather?

It's literally just down.

Usually we associate Smilodon with open grasslands. But was it possible that a few hunted on the snowbound praries further north? Also what other U.S. states are known to have Smilodon remains?

The most northern specimens of Smilodon fatalis are known from Idaho and Nebraska. Interpret that as you will. Given that its best known from California and Florida, and found in the most northern regions in between, it's fairly safe to say that it was definitely present throughout the whole of the United States.

That said, given its build, it's highly UNLIKELY it was an open plains predator. It wasn't a runner. It needed cover.

Homotherium on the other hand did probably inhabit the Northern states, tough.

any one know where I can find a cladogram/family tree of dinosaurs that is up to date and shows lots of dinos?

I'm mainly looking for where kulindadromeus is located on one.

thanks :)
