Inb4 the t rex is agreed to have had long, fleshy, limp whip arms that were far longer than the tiny bones.
They used the long tentacle arms to quickly thwip through the jungle
Oh for sure, without a doubt. Hell it took forever for people to figure out feathers.
Then again, on rare occasion we do get some cool skin/soft tissue evidence like that Nodosaurus in Canada. Sometimes they're strikingly similar to what we thought (or not?). I am not a paleontologist and I am speaking out of my ass.
That Nodosaurus is super cool though, y'all should see it.
What if there was a dinosaur that literally was just a walking skeleton? 🤔
Disgusting! Why have I followed the link. My entire day is ruined
In October, he was one of nine senators to vote against legislation intended to outlaw flag burning and other forms of flag defacement and joined Bob Dole and Orrin Hatch, the other two Republicans to vote against the bill,

Fucking coffin dodger.
Mammals are different than reptiles. A better comparison would be today's reptiles.
Mammals only got yeeted to their own evolutionary tree branch 40 million years prior to those that would be considered reptilian (sorta dinos too) which was somewhere in the realm of 250 million years ago.
Meaninng the reptiles of today are ~5x further apart in time from dinosaurs, than dinosaurs are from their common ancestors to mammals.
I think we really should just not bother thinking in terms of current speciation concepts. They could have had jellyfish like tentacles dangling allover their skin and we'd never know.

As someone who was raised and taught to believe that the earth was only a few thousand years old (by 'that kind' of Christians/churches,) this still blows my mind to read! I've known what I was taught was bullshit for at least around fifteen years, but it's like my little pea brain still just cannot compute it. Wild stuff!!
Dinosaurs aren’t reptiles, they’re birds.
Birds aren't real
And birds and dinos are crocs (unlike most other reptiles)
A better comparison would be today’s birds, which descended from theropods and are the only remaining members of the clade Dinosauria.
