Could a Deinonychus kill a Velociraptor?
Hi, yes, as above, I'm curious and want to know. Thanks! Best regards
Fictional animal: is this estimate of daily food requirements realistic?
It is a rather light and muscular raptor that weighs 200 kilograms, is warm-blooded, and feeds almost exclusively on meat. It is one of the most intelligent animals, is an active hunter but not a harried predator, and has excellent vision and hearing. I've had extensive discussions with ChatGPT, and she estimated 20-30 kilograms as…
Is this fictional predatory dinosaur rather heavy or light?
It is 4 meters long, 1.75 meters tall at the head, and weighs 200 kilograms. Its body structure resembles that of raptors. If he is heavily built, how much would you have to subtract to achieve a more lightly built body?
Why are we so sure that raptors were not omnivores?
They could have eaten fruit in addition to meat. Just because their teeth looked like those of predators doesn't mean anything! They could simply pluck the fruit with one bite and then swallow it. Birds eat fruit too, and they don't even have teeth! Incidentally, raptors were good climbers, which made it easier to reach…
Do you also wish that extinct animals could and would reproduce genetically?
such as in Jurassic Park
How dare one compare dromaesaurids to reptiles?
A few years ago, dental comparisons revealed that Deinonychus had a different diet as juveniles and were therefore not pack animals. However, frequent group findings and evidence of hunting larger prey suggest otherwise. These discoveries, in turn, were explained in the most disgusting way! Namely, with Komodo dragons as supposed living relatives!!! I explain: Komodo…
Did any survive?
I saw a documentary a while back where natives of the Congo claimed to have seen a dinosaur almost as tall as the trees. They talked about a creature that was said to have horns and a strange scaly shell. The dinosaurs were completely wiped out 65 million years ago by an asteroid that hit…
What would you think or say if a genetics lab cloned a small dinosaur?
Hello, here's a theoretical question: What would you think if a genetics lab managed to clone a Compsognathus using another modern lizard species? If, for example, Kern is healthy and able to adapt to the climate, he would, of course, first be placed in a large natural enclosure and observed. The enclosure is very realistic…

Is it really true that almost all dinosaurs lived in herds or packs?
An article I read online speculated that almost all carnivores lived in packs and almost all herbivores lived in herds. Is this assumption likely?
