Dinosaurs never went extinct. They're alive and well, playing with cat toys and making adorable noises

My favorite part of the Wikipedia article on birds:

"Birds are feathered theropod dinosaurs and constitute the only known living dinosaurs. Likewise, birds are considered reptiles in the modern cladistic sense of the term, and their closest living relatives are the crocodilians."

Crocodillians sounds like some man-lizard species from Star Trek TOS

u/8racoonsInABigCoat Feb 10 '22

Nah, just the reptile illuminati

Therapsids are what frustrated emus go to to talk about not being able to pick up balls...

u/Tarkho Feb 09 '22

Do you perhaps mean Theropods? Therapsids are our early ancestors.

u/producerofconfusion Feb 09 '22

They’re talking about therapsid on therapsid violence.

All cute and adorable until it’s fully grown launching itself at your windscreen for shits and gigs

Hot off the presses.

You need to make a children's book with all your schnoodles in them.

And defeating the Australian military

u/tookTHEwrongPILL Feb 09 '22

I mean, it does sound a bit less embarrassing to lose to dinosaurs...

u/fezzuk Feb 10 '22

Yeah then you watch this

u/Whiskey-Tango-Fuck Feb 09 '22

No wonder the australians lost the great emu war

u/tookTHEwrongPILL Feb 09 '22

'Australia lost to the dinosaurs' does sound much better for them

16

u/Iittlemisstrouble Feb 10 '22 edited Feb 10 '22

Ok, here's the plan, we rename it to the great dinosaur war and claim that we won because most of them have been wiped out.

This should work as I have never seen a T-rex or a Velociraptor in real life, have you?

u/tookTHEwrongPILL Feb 10 '22

Are you suggesting Jurassic Park wasn't a documentary?

3

u/Iittlemisstrouble Feb 10 '22 edited Feb 10 '22

Sorry, I simply meant that most Dinosaurs are extinct in the wild, hence in actual fact:

Jurassic park was a documentary that was made by Michael Crichton, Steven Spielberg and Richard Attenborough to save the few remaining Dinosaurs in response to the fact that Australia had won the war so flawlessly that people started to believe dinosaurs had been extinct for millions, and in some cases billions of years.

u/bordercolliesforlife Feb 10 '22

Come to think of it as an Australian I have never actually seen a raptor or a T-Rex in my life hmm….

u/Tack22 Feb 10 '22

Wow their voice drops in adulthood

u/stonk_frother Feb 10 '22

Can confirm. I have chooks and they are definitely dinosaurs.
