predatory giraffes

  Even though their size is insane, they probably weighed like 200-250 kg, meaning they were pretty light.

  I’d rather fight one of these than any sort of land based raptor.

    A cassowary usually weighs around 59-85 kg and they can absolutely fuck you up, so a 200-250 kg one the size of a giraffe with a lance on its face is a huge no from me.

      Sure they can, and could disembowel you with one kick.

      I’d still rather fight one of those than some properly quadruped super crocodile.

  My dream pet. I’ve always wanted one of these. If I ever finish my game I’m going to make it a pet you can get and rid on.

  There’s an animatronic one of these at my local zoo. It’s absurd.

  It’s a common Brazilian joke when people get bird shit on their head to say “hey, be thankful cows don’t fly”…

  There was one time that one didn’t have even that.

      I dunno how relevant anything is, but always remember that there exists a kind of snake that does fly.

    My uncle always used to say a silly little poem:

    Birdie, birdie, in the sky

    Laid a white one in my eye

    I don’t laugh, I don’t cry

    I’m just glad that cows don’t fly

    Quetzalcoatlus northropi is the scariest dinosaur I’ve ever seen.

      Not a dinosaur, but yes

      I can only imagine what those huge beaks were for. Like diving from the sky at some prey, simply punching it straight through it like a huge spear.

    Mega pterodactyl

    Their skeletons are fucking spooky to see in real life. Imagine what it felt like when they took off. They’d fucking run too.

    Dinosaurs are cool

      Dinosaurs are cool

      Even though they lived alongside each other, pterosaurs weren’t dinosaurs
