The problem of the dinosaurs

Will it breed?

It already did, so, no Darwin Award. 😞

65 million years ago, we are told.

Check out the Adam Driver movie "65".

It's on Netflix now.

What about Varanus komodoensis, that is a Dinosaur, or not?

My constribution on Whataboutism

Apparently not (a dinosaur) , no direct relative. Komodos have been found in the fossil record only since about 4 million years ago, long after their dino friends kicked the proverbial bucket. A chicken, on the other hand, is a direct descendant of the dinosaurs; something to ponder (no pun intended) whilst enjoying a KFC.

We'll never get to know what barbequed triceratops taste like or have Pteranodon eggs for breakfast. 🙁

Hang on a sec. I watched a documentary film, I think it was called “Jurassic something or other”, that clearly showed that someone managed to bring them, dinosaurs, back to life with…whatever the term is.

Yes, I saw that documentary, too. The term for bringing extinct species back to life is “spielberging”.

Yes. I think Trump’s team hired him for his, Trump’s, next kick at the cat (Sabre-toothed Tiger).🤔

I hate this "fact". It's such a smug simplification. As if a chicken is anything special! A chicken is no more a dinosaur than a blue jay (currently eating peanuts off my garden table), a tinamou, a ruddy duck, or a dodo.

Also, if birds are dinosaurs, humans are fish. And for the same reason.

Where I come from 'dodo' is something you don't want to step in. 🙂

We really shouldn't be having any problems with dinosaurs... 🙂

Didn't see your evidence...

"Dinosaur" is not a very precise term anyway.

I would assume that all reptiles should be direct descendants of dinosaurs anyway. But I am open for your evidence.

"Norwegian Blue" ? 🙂
