T-rex was essentially a giant chicken

[PBAC]

I mean, even that image is likely inaccurate. We don't really even know if they had a reptillian appearance. Dinos had the anatomy of birds, so is there really anything to say they weren't just giant birds?

Even then when we first started studying them researchers completely misassembled them. The reptillian design was already based around a false image because they were originally poorly assembled. When they 'figured it out' they decided to keep the reptile appearance even though it didn't have a strong basis in reality. Even with the feathered dino theory they maintain some lizard features. Has anyone even seen a bird with reptilian skin irl? Below is the fake dino statues constructed at Crystal Palace. This never existed. Even then we could still be putting the bones together wrong. Who decides whether the fossil exhibit is standing upright or in a slouched position? Why would the above T-rex's feathers be covering its arms? It hardly seems useful?

That's so lame. I can't believe I've been living in fear of these things all these years

 

[Osculater]

I heard they taste like chicken

 

[Tone C]

Seriously? Cluck off.

 

[Fluffernutter]

Once you see a chicken about 5 weeks old, you will certainly see that dinosaurs were/are birds.

 

[Crazy Librarian]

Imagine how good they taste if you are able to catch and cook it.

I would love to taste what a lot of these dinosaurs tasted like. You’d have to cook them reasonably well done and work your way down to medium to see what the deal is. Would they be like chicken where you have to be careful or like duck where you can go a bit more rare

That's like saying a tiger is just a giant house cat

Also until they successfully clone the dinosaurs, I'll take whatever the paleontologist say they look like with a grain of salt

I don't think chickens have teeth. I don't think the tyrannosaurus had feathers.

I love that image…That thing is Boss

 

[Ares Black]

I should think most of it would be very dark meat and probably not super tasty, but I bet T-Rex breast meat and wings would be delicious.

It's beautiful and horrifying and hilarious all at the same time.

This is a thinly disguised Spielberg hate thread

I’ve always thought it would be similar to Alligator or crocodile

they kind of are though.

alternatively the house cat is shrunken tiger

when you see what lions looked like in the past even the wild ones look like house cats

Spielgberg actually brought the concept to mainstream attention ... and everyone just put their heads in the sand ... like some kind of bird

Maybe the meat will be close to like ostrich meat

I think we figured out why there's nothing left but bones

lol the bird reptilian theory is so damn stupid. Why is it even taken seriously.
