so, what are the main differences between Edmontosaurus annectes and E. regalis ?
other than the age of the fossils.

I am wondering, is it possible that the arms of Carnotaurus were not separately visible limbs? Like the hind limbs of whales (which are more primitive and covered by the thick blubber of the whales though).

Possible, though the fact that they had fingers makes the notion seem unlikely to me.

No, they were just stubby and virtually useless. If given enough time for evolving, my assumption is carnotaurines would lose their front limbs sooner or later :P

Evolving creatures from earth.

Well I have 2 questions:
Which animals would actually be on the menu of Kaprosuchus ? (crocodilians or rather dinosaurs)

And what animals on that of Anatosuchus ???

Given its small size, Anatosuchus looks adapted to feed on invertebrates.
Kaprosuchus was a terrestrial hunter (although I don't know how it could have hunted) that probably ate anything it could catch, including medium-sized dinosaurs.

Kind of a dumb question, but is it possible that a Quetzalcoatlus or Hatzegopteryx would eat a human if it ever met one, and there was no other food around? They're both certainly big enough to fit a grown man in their bill.

Thanks Furka
@CyborgIguana , I asked about crocodillids not about giant pterosaurs

And what about the environment?
They had to live somewhere with water around given anatasuchus and laganosuvhis lived in the water. But whas it like a swamp or more like the serengeti ???

Oke sorry ...
If you look at his diet then it consist of small - medium dinosaurs but I dont think one of them can swallow a full grown man hole. Maybe they can eat choldren but full grown mans would be a bit too much.

Kaprosuchus was likely a terrestrial animal given how the eyes were placed on the skull , it didn't need water.

Hatzegopteryx is as tall as a giraffe, and has a three metre skull. Just saying. ;)

I knew that. But still ... A full grown man
But this pterosaurt could tear the human apart and eat it then so its realistic ...

Another question. Would Hesperornins hunt on bananogmius ???
