1 in 100,000 barn owls are born melanistic, similar to how you can get black big cats. I would imagine that every now and then we could get melanistic variation in dinosaur populations!2yr ⋅ Astronomer_X ⋅ r/Dinosaurs
Can Giant Aquatic Reptile lunging for Apex Therapod Predator be considered a trope in paleomedia?2yr ⋅ Astronomer_X ⋅ r/Dinosaurs
Allosaurus is the most dinosaur dinosaur imo. It just screams generic dinosaur in all the right ways.2yr ⋅ Astronomer_X ⋅ r/Dinosaurs

I realised that theropod dinosaurs aren’t really portrayed using their feet in combat/hunting. Has it been explored if these were worthwhile weapons to use like modern day relatives?1yr ⋅ Astronomer_X ⋅ r/Dinosaurs
Stop giving raptors Mohawks, because it’s unrealistic for birds to have elaborate head displays and there isn’t fossil evidence- bro do you even modern raptor?2yr ⋅ Astronomer_X ⋅ r/Dinosaurs

Wolverines are known to hunt reindeer which can be up to 10 x their mass. Are there any dinosaurs you speculate could punch well above their weight class like the modern weasel family regularly do?2yr ⋅ Astronomer_X ⋅ r/Dinosaurs

The Giga behaved ‘normally’ and was criticised for not being enough of a villain. How should a ‘realistic’ predatory dinosaur be portrayed as an antagonist in your view?1yr ⋅ Astronomer_X ⋅ r/Dinosaurs
What up to date science in paleontology do you accept publicly but kinda don’t believe? For me, it’s this mf being bipedal. There’s no way I’ll ever find bipedal postosuchus not bizzare2yr ⋅ Astronomer_X ⋅ r/Dinosaurs
Acrocanthosaurus is severely underrated in paleomedia, especially since it looks like a design combination between the Spinosaurus and a Tyranosaurid2yr ⋅ Astronomer_X ⋅ r/Dinosaurs

Paleomedia often portrays mammals of the Mesozoic as struggling to get by. I think they could have been active members of the ecosystem using similar tactics as aggressive underdogs like the modern day weasel family who punch above their own weight.2yr ⋅ Astronomer_X ⋅ r/Dinosaurs
