If any bird still acts like it thinks it’s a dinosaur, it’s those goddamn Canadian Geese.
Geese, ducks and chickens had all already evolved when the dinosaurs went extinct. They are all tough hombre.
Have you not been reading this thread? Dinosaurs never went extinct. A sparrow is descended from the great raptors
If they know that the gallinoansera clade had already emerged before the K-T extinction, they most likely also know about birds being dinosaurs. Specifying “non-avian” everytime is a pain and saying “K-T extinction” is not understood by all, no need to correct them for semantics when their wording gets the point across.
…BOK?
They really went out on that chicken butt.
Chickenbutts are great, they make me smile.
Not all birds have forgotten, this one can gut a human in half a second.
And this one will steal your lunch
the article says there are no records for that claim.
No witnesses.
Cassowaries have a claw on their middle toe that is up to 12cm long.
Im just going to assume it’s possible even if its unlikely.
Wait, floridians are afraid of wild cats?
Alive is what I am motherfucker.
shouldnt the trex have feathers n shit too?
Debatable, but the common consensus is that T-Rex had little to no feather. At the very least, the feathers couldn’t have covered all of the body because T-Rex skin imprints have been found without feathers, tho they’re not of all the skin, so there still may have been some feathered parts.
The idea that T-Rex had feathers didn’t come from nowhere tho : We have many evidence of feathered dinosaurs from many groups. The T-Rex is niched within the coelurosauria clade, which includes many dinosaurs that are mostly covered in feathers (and even modern birds). There’s even a close relative of T-Rex, Yutyrannus, with evidence of wide feather covering.
The reason why T-Rex didn’t have that much feathers is likely the same reason why elephants aren’t hairy : Big animals have less problem keeping heat, and may even at some point have problem evacuating excess heat (and yes, many dinosaurs were warm blooded). So as T-Rex got bigger, feathers became more of a hindrance.
I’ve heard that they might’ve been covered in feathers as children, but didn’t grow any more as they got older, so they’d be spread out, not covering much, which is also how it works with elephants and hair.
Rhode Island Red or a hybrid thereof (e.g. Golden Comet).
Great egg layers (the hens of course, not the roo pictured) and very mild mannered.
