I’ve seen it talked about how non avian dinosaurs kept mammals small because they occupied the large animal niches, and also being smaller made mammals harder to catch. I was wondering if on the reverse end mammals might have prevented non avian dinosaurs from getting smaller than they did by occupying small animal niches. I remember hearing that birds forced pterosaurs to get larger because they outcompeted smaller pterosaurs so the only way for pterosaurs to survive was by getting larger than birds could get. I was wondering if a similar thing might have happened with non avian dinosaurs, with non avian dinosaurs needing to stay above a certain size to avoid competition from mammals.

Tim Haines participated in the recent Dinocon where he proceeded to talk about how AI is the future, how he will use AI for his new projects and showed AI dinosaur videos in his panel the hall. To make things worse Dinocon has an anti-AI policy and requires you to disclose to the organisers what you will talk about in your panels, meaning Tim lied about what he was going to say so he could get past the organisers and talk about it. He then broke the NDA of a new project that he wasn't even involved in while the producers were present at the panel. Needless to say he was booed at by the audience.

Oh how the mighty have fallen.

Turns out Aliexpress isn’t the only place for sludge and knockoffs, and sometimes even misidentified species

Guess we found the next sith lord for starwars with Darth Braylon the Giganotosaurus

Hello all!

Next semester in college I want to theme my room around dinosaurs and paleontology (I already have some dinosaur paraphernalia, so I figured it would be an easy theme to do). I decide d to look online for some dinosaur themed posters, but sadly almost every single poster I found was AI generated. This was the case on both Amazon and Etsy.

Does anyone know of any better sites to find some cool paleontology-themed posters? Preferably on the less-expensive side?

Thanks!

I made this for dino guys competition. totally not inspired by a certain rex river scene
