To be truthful I didn't even think it was a Kaprosuchus at first. Thanks. |

Would it be possible for alvarezsaurs to climb up onto the backs of sauropods to feed on parasites on the sauropod skin? |

That's a pretty big climb for something with tiny arms and sprinters legs and feet. |

I could potentially see them as doing that with a resting sauropod. |

Imagine if the sauropods got up while the little dinos were still on their backs. The Alvarezsaurs would be stranded on a walking island.

How flexible were the back spines of creatures like Dimetrodon and Secodontosaurus? |

Well, it seems that they were anatomically reinforced with some weird changes in cross section going along each neural spine.
I'd assume Secodontosaurus was the same, and maybe even a running thing in all sailed pelycosaurs. That'll take further research though. What got me was this:
And this:
I'd really like to know if we've got skin impressions for Dimetrodon's SAIL. Edited by Incinerox, Apr 6 2015, 01:34 PM.

Is the american lion still considered a subspecies of Panthera leo ? Because I remember hearing a study proposed it to be closer to jaguars. |

Closer. As of 2011, it was put somewhere between Jaguars and Eurasian Cave Lions. |

Like it's not a lion or a Jaguar. It's hard to say for sure because Panthera is so diverse yet closely related which is why I'm neither comfortable with American lion or Giant Jaguar. At this point I've just started calling it by it's Latin name or Giant Panther. |

I think Horner was the only guy who was ever serious about that, and it doesn't look like he's had any success since he first proposed the idea. |
