This anime series called Dinosaur King kept mispronouncing "Saichania". |

That anime has Deltadromeus swimming butterfly style. The pronunciation of a name is the LEAST of its problems... |

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5KXzgeq1BuA Perhaps this dinosaur denier fits in this thread too... I think most people have seen this video anyway, but there's actually a large faction on Youtube that are conspiracy nuts and it is increasingly scary. |

NOW THAT TAKES THE CAKE! If anyone could fail at this, it's that guy. Dinosaur fossils have been found for years, just people called them dragons or giants before they were scientifically studied and named decently. So for paleo-fails. Would papers taking forever to be shown be a fail? I mean, we basically figure things out before even the paper comes out or at least come close. |

No, the process of getting a paper peer reviewed makes sure that the paper isn't a palaeofail |

My thought exactly, should I mention that the skulls of dwarf elephants were once believed to be the skulls of cyclops, so I wouldn't be surprised if stories of dragons, came from misidentified dinosaur/marine reptile/pterosaur/ whatever fossils? Edited by Ulquiorra, Feb 16 2017, 10:14 AM.

LIES. LIES AND HERESY. And that is just one example of far, far too many. I'm sure this man has been in this thread many times. |

Aside from the bit about the blue whale being the largest animal (which lets be honest, it's unfair to expect anyone to think otherwise [especially when even its Wikipedia article falsely claims so]) there isn't anything I see wrong with that summary. |

What is the largest animal if not the blue whale? Yeah the whole tenrec thing is very untrue (and I don't even think Leptictidium is a tenrec.) Not only does he group toothed and baleen whales separately, he calls the latter mesonychids and says they are descended from desmostylians. It may seem innocuous to those who aren't super well-verse in mammal paleontology, but this is absolutely contradictory to all other theories. |

Y'know, if you apply this mentality to something, does anything truly exist? I like how a lot of dinosaur deniers use "they weren't discovered yet" as a main argument lol |

In terms of length, then Argentinosaurus can grow bigger. The length of the longest reconstruction of an Argentinosaurus (130 ft) exceeds the longest recorded length of a blue whale (110 ft). In terms of weight, the Blue whale is still probably heavier, dinosaur weights are often, estimated weights (especially sauropods), although from what I can find, we are also yet to accurately weigh a whole blue whale.

Oh yikes, I just skimmed that but god damn. Is he actually trying to suggest they started from two separate terrestrial lineages? Despite the presence of transitional forms? |
