Nice to see feathers.

Any correlation between arm length and estimated time of existence? Looking for a trend...
Sauroctonus
Well, the family overall leaned into the big strong mouth strategy as time went on, so... Kinda?

Oh, he's in a podcast, too. Terrible Lizards.

I see Albertosaurus, where are Robertosaurus and Aibertosaurus and Bertosaurus?

The worst thing about this post is that guy wearing capri pants.

I betcha they looked like chickens
jesusisherelookbusy
More importantly; would they taste like chicken?
Sauroctonus
Probably gamier.

Yas! Huge tasty, tasty chickens!

You should read Jack Hornets theory how we've misidentified so many as different species when they're different developmental stages..

The changing map is a very good detail not seen often enough in dino ref material. +1

We needed someone for scale that we were OK with him also being eaten
Spinosaur
lol came here to ask this. This dork is making us human look lame in front of the dinos!

He also keeps walking toward the increasingly large dinos, so maybe he's bad at decision making.

Is the Santanaraptor good with a guitar?

He was, in that video with Rob Thomasaurus.

Blackmagicwomanus sub-species had excellent chords
thekeyofe
Yeah, but with only two fingers on each hand, it struggles with a lot of the more complicated chords.
electrajet
Taught Django Reinhart after the accident with the fire, though. Satanaraptor was a good egg.
gtotherizzle
Why don't they have feathers?
JesusStoleMyWeed
They need to keep their little lizard hands free
terminallumbago
Found skin impressions of T-Rex and its closest relatives have been ruling out a lot of places on their bodies feathers could have been
XeononSolomon
Artist rendition? I think there is a good combo of feathered and non feathered here
PoorSucker
It's summer
elucca
The early tyrannosauroids including proceratosaurids did have feathers. The later tyrannosaurids largely did not.
Hashbrown123
The only tyrannosaurus we know that had feathers was the Sexual Tyrannosaurus. https://imgur.com/Gv4LsC7.jpg
Tyrann01
Climate. T-Rex lived in a Savannah, so it had feathers like elephant hair. Yutyrannus meanwhile lived in a tundra; hence very fluffy.
Burgundee
They had protofeathers, which looked more like hair than the feathers we know. It's also uncertain how prevalent they were on tyranosaurids.
LordNergal
In general, feathers appear common in the smaller ones and ones in Asia, but ones from the Americas distinctly lack feathers.
Sauroctonus
Don't many of the feathered dinosaurs from China come from a region that was covered in especially fine ash or something? Most are >
Sauroctonus
< found without any signs of feathers or skin impressions simply because the sediment they were buried in wasn't fine enough to form >
Sauroctonus
< a detailed imprint. Or they simply disintegrated because they weren't buried quickly enough to keep out air.
MachineInterface
No fossil evidence they did and good conjectural evidence they didn't (mass of an elephant living in hot climate, feathers would have lead>
MachineInterface
to overheating).
Sauroctonus
Tyrannosaurus itself lived as far north as Canada. Even then with the warmer global climate, it would get cold in winter. >
Sauroctonus
< I wouldn't be surprised if there was at least a spare covering of protofeathers. While integument traps heat in, it can also protect >
Sauroctonus
< skin from the sun.
spitfires2000
There are people that think they could handle the first two small ones.
msdss
Tom Knapp could 100% take most of these creatures.
KiwiGameDev
Was about to say, I want this to be the next version of “what could you take in a fight”
TyrannusEquus
I can. Proper enclosure, a good diet. Probably have to get a certification first.
SilereVitam
I was honestly trying to imagine what kind of hand weapon I would need, until I hit the point of "Nope, not even with a spear."
Holedemort
First one? Maybe. Second one, hell no.
theRedBaronOf
First one, by itself....maybe
imno0or1
I could maybe survive the first one but not the rest
VosperOfAntarctica
well there WERE, anyway

On a regular basis in the AAA hit game the kids all play ARC!
capughe
The 2nd is already scary. The first looked ok if it didn't swarm. Then I remembered I run from spiders.
railgap
Not enough boundary conditions. Can I use air power?
TheHairlessviking
Do i have time to prepare or are they at my door now?
baals
I would "handle" them all. Wink*
Salpinus
I believe Steve Irwin could've handled all of them.
penut61
Prove I couldn’t.

BeepBeepImAJeeep
the first one that doesnt make it up to my knee? Yea, Im gonna win that fight.
BelowAverage355
I was gonna say, you should be able to kill at least that one. It has a super exposed neck, just grab that, squeeze, swing hard.
afsdpckapjadfkasef
Just grab the tail and yeet the fucker
alternator43
Hello! My name is people.
Salpinus
Hello people, I'm dad
TrumpRapesChildren
I could, easily. You see, I live in US, and they are in Portugal and Brazil.
Ryanator50
and they've been dead for or a million years too. so I think it's a pretty safe bet.
LordNergal
Depending on what I'm armed with, I'm sure I could handle one of them. Only one of the first two. More than one and I'm probably fucked.
jjw9
There are people that think the first two are “small”
morelikeconsham
When you're wearing a pair of nice boots like the guy in the picture, there is a critical size where no matter how vicious the creature is,
morelikeconsham
It is puntable. First one looks pretty close.
OMGamIImguringCorrectly
I can handle anything i can whip around by it's neck like Hulk did to Loki by the feet.
filben7
The second you try and grab it it will clamp on your face slash you to shit with its feet. You are slow as cold mud compared to it.
ZeitgeistWurst
I mean, they are dead, right?
Sauroctonus
No, they're just drawings.
HamshanksCPS
I could fight a drawing
RtsWillH1Mself
Unless they were smart creatures, we could handle almost all of them.
ArchMagos
The brain-to-body ratio, one of the better ways to get a rough INT estimate, for the T-Rex is about the same as a golden retriever.
Einstein9073
Or Ambush Predators, or pack hunting, or dot-dot.
RtsWillH1Mself
I think even then though. Pretty sure a tank could just roll through and wipe them all out
iimplodethings
Those people have never met geese
GuyFromDeathValley
*cobra chicken
twfx
Or tried to get a cat in a carrier
Emulen
Or a honeybadger
MisterLemons
Being fair, the first instinct when confronting geese is restraint. Punting one would inspire much guilt.
sortofkindamadbutnotreally
I love birds, but the guilt and patience runs out quick when the lil football shaped arsebandits start getting fresh.
TheMadOnion
Yeah I pretty much let a goose fuck me up to. At any point I could have easily kicked it hard enough to harm it. I just chose not to.
thatauzzieguy
Is peace an option?
AreYouABadPerson
Canadians engage in dark rituals to put all their malice and hatred into the Canadian Geese. The rest is dealt with by sending over people
AreYouABadPerson
like Bieber and Ted Cruz.
geoffmendoza
Goose peace is when there's nothing left to fight
Aldamas
Missed opportunity to say "geese peace" but im not that funny so...
thealmightywalrus420
Just grab the neck and start shakin' a goose might hurt ya, but it won't hospital ya or ded ya.
Sauroctonus
A cassowary can kill you if it kicks you in the gut. Any large ratite probably can, even.
Rivenhelper
Geese don't have sharp feet or muscled legs.
thealmightywalrus420
Oh the dino would hospital ya for sure, but if you could land a good kick that thing is ded
thesunisgettingreallow
I have fought a swan before, I could take these.
5amNonsense
I've fought a goose and can confirm I would lose to those
[deleted]

thesunisgettingreallow
Don't let your awe for dinos overshadow current species. With what I have seen dinos the size of a cat or a big dog wouldn't really phase me
Sauroctonus
If they're a theropod, they'd basically be an uncanny bird with teeth, a long tail and fingers.
Tyrann01
Swans don't tear other animals apart to survive. These do.
thesunisgettingreallow
Swans are responsible for more human deaths than dinosaurs are.
Sauroctonus
Uh, they ARE dinosaurs.
thesunisgettingreallow
Your mom's a dinosaur
Noob3rts
Swan ain't shit on this. Imagine a Swan living in an area where everything tried to kill it and then evolved with razor sharp talons.
Qualtagh
Modern swans share habitats with grizzlies and polar bears. The world is still trying very hard to kill everyone here.
Sauroctonus
Yeah, the swans you see in town parks are the lucky ones in that regard.
thesunisgettingreallow
Never met a swan in close quarters have you? Sharp teeth, wings that can break your leg w/ a single beat, & everything IS trying to kill it.
ImLurkingOnImgur
Just trying to kill them because they are all assholes!
flistdumpnumberonemillion
that's a myth. 1: no documented cases of it happening 2: hollow flying bird bone breaking solid ground human bone, be serious
strangelyaddicting
Exactly. I swung a goose around by his neck about 10 years ago... Flung that bitch in a lake and you could SEE him reevaluate his life.
thesunisgettingreallow
I am a serious. There are 4 swans in a pond where I work. The male fought a fucking lawnmower. He clipped me & left me limping with a 1/2
iamthemansheep
I'd say everything up to the Guanlong is smaller than a cassowary, which is at the upper limits of what a human can handle in a fight
AndyTheAbsurd
Cassowary keepers don't turn their backs on their birds, because cassowaries can and will kill humans.
iamthemansheep
Yeah but I assume that in this thought experiment both contestants are facing each other. Just got to grab the neck and twist!
Sauroctonus
Last I read, there hasn't been a confirmed death by cassowary in decades... But I'm not going to be the one to test it.
AndyTheAbsurd
Marvin Hajos, from Alachua, Florida, in April 2019. Prior to that was 1926. (Also many non-fatal attacks.)
Sauroctonus
Dang. It has been a few years since I read about cassowaries.
