Dinosaurs and other prehistoric creatures

[DoomRulz]

Only land Dinosaurs were called Dinosaurs.

>_> technically dinosaurs are neither lizard, nor anything else, they're just dinosaurs

Mainly considering some were warmblooded and some werent

In the purest sense, dinosaurs were reptiles. That's how they're classified. Small carnivorous dinosaurs however, despite being reptiles, evolved into the birds we see today.

I find it amazing how T-Rex's closest living relative is a chicken.
Evolution is amazing.

okay..... my favorite dino is the gojirasaurus (or godzillasaurus)
it was named after godzilla


18-21 feet long, lived in the Triassic Period, and was discovered Revuelto Creek, Quay County, New Mexico in 1997

Hold on... They actually named a dinosaur after Godzilla?

[DoomRulz]

There's a sea monster (reptile) named Godzilla so it wouldn't surprise me.

there are different ways people thought it looked like, the pic i posted i posted because some gojirasauruses have been recovered have some sort of "fins" alone it's back

shit, what if the 50 meter-tall-firebreathing-japanese-godzilla was real!!! man that would suck!

[Sgt. Johnson]

I can't tell if he's a good thing or bad. There's like 50 movies and sometimes he is a good monster but sometimes he's bad. better than megalodon

This Gojirasaurus is most interesting. I wonder how its discoverers came up with the name.

hmm..... it was discovered in 1997....... maybe it was named in memory of Godzilla...... In the 1995 film, Godzilla vs Destroyah, Godzilla and his kid died.

Yes because animals being zapped into being is much more plausible.

[WisePredator]

Exactly!

"Sweet, a new dinosaur."
"Bitchin'! What do we name it?
"Hey, remember that Godzilla movie that was on TV the other week that showed what Godzilla was before he was mutated by radiation? We should call it that."
"You mean Gojirasaurus?"
"Yeah, that one."
"We should totally use that."
"Indeed."

I imagine there were more monacles and top hats and less use of the words "sweet", "bitchin'" and "totally", however.
