I'd clone dinosaurs just to make Dinosaur buffalo wings.

So I have this idea for a park

 

[Bad_Boy]

was there just puddles of tree resin everywhere back then? everything is always preserved in amber ice or stone.

 

[Gravidee]

Time to crack this thing open!

I hope one of these days we get an actual small dinosaur body encased in amber.

Wow Satan is really upping his game, planting "fossils" that confirm current science fads.

If I was Satan, I would do shit like that all the time. I would be "very long con" Satan, where it takes millions of years to truly appreciate my handiwork but once you get it you get it.

I would also convince straight people to say "yaaas"

 

[kame-sennin]

Why are the other birds just watching this murder?

They're filming on their cell phones.

 

[Nostremitus]

Thats amateur stuff

Honestly, that's nothing compared to the other one. I was referring to the other two owls, not the one with the rat.

more like god is testing our faith again. anyone who believes that the raptor jesus rode into jerusalem had feathers will surely never see heaven.

How'd you fly to heaven without feathers though?

 

[Nikodemos]

John Conway, Darren Naish and Memo Kosemen vindicated once again.

 

[Braag]

This looks like some dark ritual is going on.
The two on the right are moving in some weird way, one of them is chanting while the last one is eating the sacrifice.

 

[stump sock]

Bait title. These are prehistoric birds, so "dinosaurs" in the broadest sense.

oh hush.

so is it known if the colors were preserved? or have they faded to the grey/silver that they mention? that's kind of the most interesting thing to me about these discoveries, since we were always just given depictions of prehistoric animals being grey or green.

Kinda like a writer on Arrested Development? I like

 

[BumRush]

There's literally nothing about this gif that ISN'T horrifying

I am laughing my ass off at imagining a giant-ass sparrow hopping around the landscape, thanks

 

[CrudeDiatribe]

I don't care what 80s and 90s kids say. Dinosaurs with feathers are awesome.

Have been a dino nut since the mid '80s and me too.

[Vigilant Walrus]

So if we ever bring them to live, will they replace chickens? I mean, KFC will be obsolete, I would try fried chicken dino wings with a good sauce.

[Escape Goat]

Probably from a six-foot turkey. That doesn't look very scary.

Spoiler

I wonder what this kid is doing today.

 

[stonesak]

Looks Photoshopped to me.

and now I embrace the feathers on my t-rex :3

 

[digitaldevmike]

I wonder what this kid is doing today.

I made it a rule not to look up child actors after finding out about Judith Barsi.

Whit Hertford seems like he's doing alright though

Acting still, apparently.

 

[Cymbal Head]

Thats amateur stuff

I once watched a blue heron pick up a chipmunk, dunk it in water, and swallow it before flying away.

This is some next level ish

Well that was awful.

 

[Ethelwulf]

Birds are dinosaurs, period.

omg

 

[Ethelwulf]

Double post sorry

 

[Ziltoidia 9]

You got the one eating. You got the one coaching the eater.

Then you got the two enforcers waiting to pounce on the camera person.

He's also in the Nightmare on Elm St documentary. He's actually quite funny.

 

[Rabbi_Vole]

Wake me when they find PERFECT dino feathers... None of this "near" shit. We've accepted mediocrity as a country and it's sickening.

 

[Sesuadra]

Just think about what rich private collectors might have in their faults...-.-

Shyamalan plot twist:

Dinosaurs were angels all along.

I hate this

Now just imagine instead of T Rex unleashing a deafening roar heard for miles but instead chirped and made high pitched musical bird songs!

 

[jmood88]

Owls are creepy as fuck.

 

[Concept17]

A T-Rex that moves around and twitches like a chicken is incredibly more frightening than the old T-Rex. Just imagine it seeing you, cocking its head sideways, and chasing you.

Fuck that.

Damn right.

Those kids never bothered to research beyond JP, tho.

 

[zoukka]

Incredible find.

 

[mantidor]

We are lucky modern birds aren't bigger than us, for any smaller creature they must be terrifying.

Hell, geese are terrifying enough already and they aren't bigger.

God this is so unappealing. A large part of the wonder of dinosaurs is the thought of these huge and dangerous creatures roaming the earth that really have no parallel to modern animals. You paint them as giant chickens and the wonder is gone. I'm not amazed by a giant chicken, I'm thinking about how much meat I could fit on the grill.

 

[soul creator]

what's with all the Jeremy Corbyn posts on GAF recently?

 

[Anton Sugar]

feathers 4 lyfe

Meme? I heard this in Sunday school in the late 80's-early 90's.

That Tyrannosaurus reconstruction is joking. It almost certainly had feathers, but not nearly that thick of a layer, considering the warm climate of late Cretaceous North America.

Also, a large part of the wonder of non-avian dinosaurs is that they were real animals. They were not monsters or demons, they were beautiful diverse creatures that really existed and fed and slept and bred and sickened and grew old and died. Seeing a Tyrannosaurus as just a scary set of jaws is like seeing a lion as just a scary set of jaws; it's missing all the wonderful stuff beyond that.
