Well now that more material of Didelphodon is known it seems that it was an amphibious mammal with a durophagus diet, sort of like a sea otter but on fresh water.

I thought it was like a Badger or a opossum.

That's what we used to think until recently, but science marches on.

Also opossums and badgers don't exactly have comparable ecological niches.

For anyone who collects figurines, who should I buy from; CollectA, Papo, Rebor, Carnigie, or Safari? I mainly want something scientifically accurate with at least feathered coelosaurs.

CollectA, Safari, and Carnegie are all very good. Papo's figures are exquisitely detailed but most of their stuff is inspired by JP, so not the height of scientific accuracy.

This question is more based on opinion than anything but in the Disney dinosaur film anybody remember the scene when Aladar's mom scares away the baby parasaurolophous? Well I'm doing a folley project and I'm trying to find sounds that best replicate the baby's squeals and grunts, which animal do you think I should go with or animals.

It sounds vaguely like some hatchling bird or croc squeaks, mixed in with I think MAYBE a pitch-raised goose or elk. MAYBE.

I'd like to know the same thing, except for A. fragilis specifically. I'm guessing ~10m?

I'm asking for fragilis species, and I thought they could get to 12 meters.

Allosaurus itself probably didn't get that big, but its close cousin Saurophaganax did (which has been synonymized with Allosaurus on occasion).
