The larger ones would have been absolutely fucking terrifying:

No clue who they are, sorry, just saw that there was only one mod listed in the sidebar but that’s all. You can probably just message them on Lemmy if they’re even active anymore? I didn’t think to check

One of the first we know of at least! And they looked much more bird-y than my fave Anchiornis:

Oh you mean the weird “dinosauroid” thing?

This has to be one of the most hilarious recreations I’ve seen:

Chickims qualify!

… I wonder what other dinosaurs tasted like?

Head butting problems to make them go away since 85.8 Mya

Right? And what’s really wild is that birds are literally dinosaurs. Not just descended from dinosaurs, but classified as feathered theropods and the only known living dinosaurs

And their name means “egg thief”!

Thunder lizard! Brontosaur’s another classic, ginormous boyes

If the Ankylosaurus was nature going “what if tank?” then the Parasaurolophus was nature going “what if dinosaur but cow?”

Completely understandable! They’re a classic

Ain’t no cowboy gonna ride ol’ spiney.

“Semiaquatic dinosaur rodeo” is an underappreciated theme. Maybe we’ll see it in the next Jurassic Park.

And a cool mane too

Didn’t even know about that one.

Diet: carnivorous
[…]
Food: other animals

Yes that’s usually where meat comes from.

Ah yes, when nature went “what if tank?”:

I’m boring

We’ll have none of that here! Nothing wrong with liking an old classic, because I mean come on:

After a certain age people stop asking you what your favorite dinosaur is, and I think that’s sad.

My current one’s the Anchiornis, because it’s in the same clade as birds so it’s in their family tree, and it really looks like a prototype of a bird. It had 4 wings for example, but it already looked really birb-y:

Everybody reading the comments needs to let us know about your favorite dinosaur.

Well, “clear” and clear; if you read their comments they very much do make it sound like they’re Robbie. I mean, it’s not that I believe any of it 100% and I think it’s probably just a schtick, but an AMA with that particular person would probably be fun in itself anyhow regardless of who’s “driving” that account. Guess we’ll see if/when this thing via her agent does end up happening? 😀

Whoops 😀

But you might want to ping the AMA mod? I think there was only one
