The whole “dinosaurs having feathers makes them less scary” line of thought is kinda silly.
If you stick a pink bow and glitter on a knife, it doesn’t become any leas deadly, plus good luck getting that glitter out of your wounds if you do make it to the “I need to get that glitter out of my wounds” stage.
Anyone else ever wonder whether the dinosaurs were delicious?
100% they absolutely were.
Give geneticists 20 years, we’ll have lab grown T-Rex in the grocery store
I suspect T-Rex (like carnivores in general) isn’t such a good choice if meat is your goal. Sauropods on the other hand? Tons and tons of meat from a single herbivore animal. You might even be able to use existing cattle feed.
Well that’s true if you have a live animal producing your meat. Not sure that applies if the meat is lab grown though?
My favorite dinosaur is the Ayam Cemani AKA the big black cock
Ahh, the goth chick
You S.O.B!
I just tried to find more info, and now I feel bad about myself…
Cassowary feet
Cassowary head
Cassoway = Velociraptors if they could also fly short distances.
Though fortunately generally non-aggressive unless you piss them off.Well who on earth would be foolish enough to piss them off?

Edit: This one’s been floating around the net for long enough that I’d forgotten what the feathery chap in the back left was up to!
Hidden behind a spoiler for those who don’t want to see an owl swallowing an entire rat(!)
Owls really are basically cats.
Ps, pls put a NSFW on it haha. I don’t mind but others will.
Good call - not sure you can tag images in comments as NSFW (to get the auto-blur), but I’ve hidden it in spoiler tags.

When did and why did dinosaurs go from giant fangs to beaks? Or are reptiles more direct descendants of those dinosaurs
fwiw there were plenty of non-avian dinosaurs with beaks, ceratopsids for one.
Birds are the only direct descendents of dinosaurs. Reptiles were around at the same time as dinosaurs and evolved independently. There are huge differences, scales instead of skin and feathers, cold blooded instead of warm, etc.
TL;DR: Beaks are a lot lighter and more easily adapted than teeth.
