Lucky Find

A Tyrannosaurus finds the recently deceased body of an Edmontosaurus slumped into a creek in the forest. Around them are a softshell turtle, a salamander, a dragonfly, an enantiornithine bird and two small arboreal mammals fighting each other.

Last time I drew a tyrannosaurus was like 4 months ago. This is unacceptable! So I drew some rexes!

And baby rexes! >:3

Jurassic World and other media things: Have their raptors have ridiculously wiggly tails

Actual raptor tails:

the tail is so stiff the tendons became bones

… that’s not a result of fossilization? I am genuinely asking out of confusion.

nope! Those are ossified tendons, and they were important for raptors - their tails being so stiff helped them balance, which aided in hunting as well as mobility. In fact, their general lightweight nature meant they could engage in a variety of interesting behaviors with their fully-fledged wings (like raptor prey restraint and wing-assisted inclined running), where a stiffened and straight tail would help immensely for balance

In fact, the stiff tail of the dinosaurs closest to birds became stiffer, eventually shortened, and became the modern stiff pygostyle of living birds! So it's also an important step in the evolution of avian tails. Birds now have stiff tail feathers and only the pygostyle in terms of bones, the evolutionary conclusion of this trend. If you look at a roadrunner, a dinosaur with much in common ecologically with extinct raptors, you can see how the stiff tail feathers aid in pursuit.

"That monster will never forgive us."

That line, along with the tone of the trailer and bits of his design make me think that Yamazaki is going to play up the tragic nature of Godzilla a bit.

Just look at him

He's pissed. You can tell because his are are more expressive and attentive. He's not just an animal like Shin was, and while we are probably still more like ants to him, we are ants he notices.

It's like he is lashing out for the pain humanity gave him. Physically and (just conjecture on my part) emotionally.

Maybe Godzilla lost his family to the nuclear test, and unfortunately, Japan just happened to be the closest thing near by that he could attribute to the massacre. Some of the teasers even seem to hint that Godzilla is actively going after ships on his way to Japan.

I don't know, maybe I'm wrong but I think it would just be interesting narratively if this was the case. The monster attacking has suffered a similar tragedy to that of the people of Japan. I just think it would be a nice change of pace for Toho to give him some emotion again.

@arminreindl pretty sure you saw this baby before, but it's baby 😭

Doesn't matter how often I see it, it will always be adorable The genus is Crocodilaemus btw and it might be a relative of the MUCH larger Sarcosuchus

Fossils are so goddamn cool. They form when an animal dies and is buried in just the right conditions for its skeleton and sometimes soft tissues to be replaced by stone. It’s like the Earth itself taking pity on an animal, like hey, I’m sorry my child, let me immortalize you in stone so that even though you may die your memory will live on.

You know what? Fossils aren’t even a memory. They are a memory of a memory.

An animal’s bones replaced by rocks and minerals offering a glimpse into its life. It’s not just like hey, I was alive, it’s also like hey, I was alive and I was a fighter, a survivor, I did things that mattered. We’ve found fossils of dinosaurs locked in combat, fossils of mother dinosaurs covering their eggs to protect them, fossils with healed bite wounds and scars. We even know the fucking COLORS of some dinosaurs due to ridiculously well-preserved fossils.

Dinosaurs (and pretty much all prehistoric animals), lived so long ago that the timespan between them and us is incomprehensible to the human mind (though we like to think we can, we cannot truly comprehend how long 65,000,000 years is, or even like 15,000 years). But even though they lived so long ago, fossils ensure that their memory will live on forever. And that’s beautiful.
