T-Rexes are Like Ball Pythons

[RoseyReps]

I'm still waiting for them to find a mosquito with blood in amber and recreate the dna. If they can do that, they should be able to tweak some genes too.

I want a mini T-Rex dangit! Like 5-6 lbs. I shall walk him on a leash and call him fluffy and he will be MY fluffy. And I will love him and squeeze him and get my ear bit off...bad fluffy.

Or imagine a leopard gecko sized raptor ...have like 4-5 in a viv and watch them pack hunt a mouse...that would be so neat!

Ok I'm done. Boredom brings out the worst in me I swear

I enjoy the way your mind thinks

dinosaurs were reptilian after all.

Nope. They're more related to birds. Most of the therapods had feathers which suggests that they were warm blooded.

Definitely not. Reptiles are not descendants of dinosaurs. Alligators and snakes lived with dinosaurs.

It's a conspiracy. They didn't want something that most people consider pretty awesome related to "reptiles...ewwww" so they fudged some findings and now call them bird like. Lies lies lies! Something that badass can ONLY be reptilian. I mean come now...a t-rex wouldn't be nearly as menacing covered in feathers. It would be like ha...look at that giant chicken! *roar face* ok...giant chicken with teeth ...*runs*

Seriously though...those finding made me angry face. I want reptilian dinos...not chickens with teeth :'(

I felt similarly disheartened when I heard Pluto was not a planet. Poor Pluto ...

I feel like I'm an adult ruining Christmas for my kids, but my dreams of having a mini T-Rex were also crushed by this article.

I haven't seen guard geese, but as someone who was chased by a mother duck across a field, I can say that it is terrifying!

Geese are nasty, evil things..

*puts hands over ears/eyes* NO! No no no no no!

I will have a mini T-rex and pack of raptors one day!


Ok...if we can't have mini dino's, could we at *least* discover a new species somewhere that looks like / acts like them only in miniature? Preferably from somewhere that doesn't mind exporting
