Pretty much any melanistic big cat can be called a panther.

A weird random guy.

When paleontologists find a fish eating another fish...
A fail I say, but a unique fossil.

Me after Thanksgiving.

I'm really fed up with the Gaming Beaver, why you ask? He's making a video on how the entire Paleontology community and a strive for accuracy annoys him. Here's the video for evidence; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wcTZjUT2PBQ. A man who mocks his fans is a fool indeed.

Well, the GamingBeaver annoys me in general but mostly down to personal preference and not just for indirectly taking most of BestInSlot viewers, that doesn't help his case, though.

The extended belly, and overall shape of it, reminds me of some of the domesticated duck breeds,

Argentavis had a wingspan of 8.5 meters (larger than any other known pterodactyl). It lived in South America and looked like a giant vulture. It went extinct 6 million years ago, but there are still legends even today about such large birds.


From a video on YouTube. And another video said that "Glyptodon was about the size of a VW Bug, and looked a bit like a modern armadillo. But it was actually more related to modern-day turtles."

Seriously, some people cannot Science.

Yeah I don't feel like skimming through this video hearing this ***holes annoyingly fake voice so if you could tell me where he mentions that, that'd be great!

From what I recall, he expresses doubt that several of the giant South American titanosaurs are separate genera and not just pieces the same animal. An easy mistake to make if you aren't an expert and know the different fossil beds, shape of the vertebrae, and such.
I do believe he said that he is no scientist, certainly doesn't strike me as the type to read scientific papers.

Back last year my medical academy teacher mistook my torso-forward side portrait of an ex-Baryonyx for a Tiktaalik. At least he knew what a Tiktaalik was.

The only thing that irritates me about him is the Tylosaur bigger than Mosasaur thing. For me he is a symbol of public ignorance, which is what makes him so amusing to me.




But what really irritates me is Poet Plays not being able to pronounce Deinonychus. My ocd kicks in whenever I hear him say Deinonychus wrong(which is all the time).

Does he pronounce it "Dein-o-NIKE-us" instead of "di-NON-ik-us"? Because from my experience that's pretty common.

Someone on youtube just said that Leptictidium was the ancestor of carnivorous animals such as dogs, cats, seals, etc.... I just replied: *screaming on the inside*

Today I saw a collection of dinosaur figures, and one of them got my attention,

The one on the middle top right, just under the Pachycephalosaurus, is supposed to be a velociraptor. The image doesn't show it well, but it had a beak and no teeth, it looks more like a veliciraptor Iguanodon hybrid.
