          The Tyrannosaurus Rex is an “apex predator,” which is the top of everything- the ultimate predator of the time. ‘Rexes hunted everything- they do not scavenge. They are one of the largest predators in the entire world, that ever lived, period. They were not perfect, of course- an adult male triceratops, full sized, could easily fend off a T-Rex, even if ambushed, because a Trike has a very lower center of mass, and their legs can turn them very quickly. Combined with the horns and the shield, a Rex would be unable to kill a Trike. However, many other dinosaurs were still vulnerable.

            Well, it is speculated that the T-rex is actually a vegatarian as it’s limbs(arms) is way to short to be of any use in hunting and some other reason i can remember, google it i guess would provide more info >_<

              The short arms are an adaptation seen in all Tyranasaurids. Even the relatively tiny Nanotyrannus, 17 feet long and 1800 lbs, had similar proportions. It allowed them to develop a massive head and jaws while cutting the excess weight of the arms so they could remain bipedal and balanced. There are a few other carnivores, like Spinosaurus that have proportionally larger jaws, but Spinosaurus was partially quadrupedal as well as being also partially aquatic.

                I’ve heard of T-Rex arms being powerful despite being so short & having limited mobility, worked out by the size of the muscle-anchor-point-things. I’ve also found theories ranging from assisting in getting up to holding prey in place to mating, & beyond. I do know 1 thing tho, they knew how they liked their dinner – fresh, uncooked meat…

                  Well, it is also said that most of the dino’s prefered the green snack but might go for meat if needed:-P

              …it had teeth like knives. It had a ridiculous sense of smell and sight. It had quite possibly the strongest bite of anything to ever live. And most importantly, we’ve found its bite marks on prey animals in the area.

              There is abso-fucking-lutely no way T. rex was an herbivore.

                Not only have we found evidence of biting prey, it turns out it would rip the heads off Triceratops to get at the good meat.

                T. rex were amazing predators. I don’t know why so many people like to talk them down so much, it feels like some kind of palaeontology hipsterism, like they’re too popular to appreciate.

                They had a binocular (binolfacular?) sense of smell. All modern predators have to zigzag back and forth across a scent drifting on the wind to triangulate it. T-rexes’ nostrils were far enough apart that they could smell direction the way we can hear which direction a sound is coming from.

                They did not evolve this awesome (in the proper sense of the term) trait to help them better locate radishes. 😛

            They were not, in fact, the largest Theropod. Also, their only real predatory claim-to-fame is the amount of force that they could close their jaws with is virtually unrivaled by any known living thing, short of Dunkleosteous.

          The T. Rex as scavenger hypothesis has been completely debunked. It’s widely acknowledged the Jack Horner threw the idea out there mostly for attention, and it worked. He got a Discovery Channel program out of it. But Horner will downplay it when pressed, saying he only put it out as a possibility. The rest of the paleontology are more than a little annoyed that the T. Rex as a pure scavenger keeps popping up in popular culture. To them, the idea has been completely discredited.

            Pretty much any animal will scavenge if they get the chance. No reason to expend more energy than necessary, after all.

            Wasn’t there an “Amazing Stories” that did that? Aliens crashed a Miss Universe contest because it was only humans (sort of like the America’s “World Series” of baseball which, correct me if I’m wrong, only has teams from two countries).

            The alien judges were totally going to ruin everything, until they added in a special prize for the winner: A date with the reigning Mr Universe!

            The aliens left.

        Look at her, you know you do
        It’s probable she wants you, too
        There is one way to ask her
        Just use your words
        And she will use her words,
        Then you can kiss the girl

          …Huh. You know, I was gonna say that synapsids are also called mammal-like reptiles, but upon further research, it turns out that that classification has changed since I last checked. Huh. You learn something every day.

          OK, so so revise the previous statement, they’re in the same basal group as reptiles, the amniotes, but they’re no longer considered reptiles. That said, though, they were NEVER dinosaurs.

            I’ve always been fascinated by the pre dinosaur reptiles like postosuchus. The idea that there were large animals that predated the dinosaurs is something that completely blew my mind when I was a kid.

              To be fair, though, rauisuchids like Postosuchus weren’t exactly pre-dinosaur. More like…peri-dinosaur. Evolved around the same period of time. I do agree, though, same thing surprised me as a kid. If you don’t know about it, check out Before the Dinosaurs: Walking with Monsters. Never liked the name, but it’s a fairly good look at the Paleozoic era.

                  That’s probably a compromise. The “Walking With” shows were shot on location with animatronic puppets for the close ups and CGI for the wide shots. The big problem in this is finding locations with appropriate vegetation, or at least something close. As far back as Dimetrodon, I think they’d be dealing with giant club ferns and the like Not a lot of them around. I’m not sure of that, of course, but that might be the reason. That was another thing I had to get around, mentally. The fact that the vegetation evolved in parallel with the animals. I guess it was a left over assumption from creationism that all the plants came first.

Becky looks at Dina’s hand, then into her eyes, blushing, and Dina realizes the intimacy of the moment. Dina then has a choice to make, go in or pull back.

              Well, you know, technically speaking, Albertosaurus was discovered in the Northwest Territories. The province of Alberta wasn’t created until 1905, a full 21 years after the original discovery, during which time all that land belonged to the NWT. And since the dinosaur wasn’t named until 1905, in commemoration of the new province, we already had our shot at glory, and missed.

        There may not be many Canadian named dinosaurs, but Albertosaurus was a Tyrannosaurid, a smaller cousin of T. Rex that went about two metric tons and was around nine meters long. They weren’t as big as T. Rex, but fossil records suggest they were pack hunters, basically two ton thirty foot long wolves. There have been 26 indivituals found, making Albertosaurus one of the most well documented theropods.

      Yay, a local reference. And just a few years ago they found a dino fossil less than a kilometre from my house, and coincidently enough, an fellow employee was working on the site where it was found, so I heard about it before it was publicized, and I was able to wander into the job site and have a look before they excavated it.

            Hmm…
            In that sequence, Amber speaks about not wanting to think of Dina as a sexual being yet, if I’m not mistaken, their bunks are arranged head-to-head with each desk below. Danny has stayed overnight and they’ve been less than stealthy in the morning.

    I love the ceratopsids, but I must confess my first love was T. Rex. When Jack Horner came out with the documentary that claimed T.Rex was a scavenger, well, it was one of the few times I actually yelled insults a the T.V. I was also that smug guy sitting in the theater watching Jurassic Park saying, “Those aren’t velociraptors, they’re too big. Those are deinonychus.”

      Man, are hadrosaurs anyone’s favorite?
      I never liked T. Rex all that much. The main thing that made it more interesting than Allosaurus and Albertasaurus for me was that it was bigger, and since other tyrannosars were bigger still, it was always a B-lister in my favorites. Deinonychus, Pachycephalosaurus, Ankylosaurus, assorted ceratopsids, and a couple sauropods dominated the A-list.

        UTAHRAPTOR

        Fun story related to that link: I was out at a museum in Utah a number of years ago and actually met Donald Burge. He took us all on a sort of behind-the-scenes tour. We got to see the fossil archive rooms, and one area where they were in the process of assembling a recently dug-up skeleton.

        And then I went and got Burge’s autograph. My museum map still has his signature on it to this day (I have it sealed in plastic).

        I like the crested hadrosaurs. For me as a kid, the big revelation was that the dinosaurs didn’t live all at once. That T. Rex and Triceratops never saw a diploducus or stegosaurus and that most of the giant sauropods were gone by the late cretatious. I always had a soft spot for brachiosaurus, though.

        There aren’t really bigger tyrannosaurids. There are some bigger theropods, but in most cases not actually by that much; it’s speculated they were reaching a maximum viable size.

        Out of this group, T. rex still stands out for its amazing bite, the non-tyrannosaurids being more arm-focused. You don’t have to make it one of your favorites, but for what it’s famous for, it’s in no way an also-ran.

    **Possible Spoilers for people reading through It’s Walky**
    You know, if I recall, in the Walkyverse, Dina had one point harbored an attraction to Walky. Earlier when Becky and Walky first met, we saw they get along handsomely, with Becky having in a lot of ways a similar personality. Maybe Dinas have a type. Given Walkyverse Dina also liked Mike, I suppose all Dinas do enjoy blunt, direct people.

      Makes sense. Blunt, emotionally open and honest people are easier to read and more willing to share when things are and aren’t working. For people who need that emotional openness either psychologically, or due to non-neurotypicality, that can be a big and important thing.

    In dinosaur toys as a kid, I always tended to gravitate towards Triceratops, since they never had suitably flashy Parasaurolophus toys, a bias I developed reading a well drawn book of dinosaurs by someone who made them as colourful as hornbills and gave them a skin flap from the nasal structure behind the head and down the neck.

    What I’m saying is I like flashy displays and am a lesbian and maybe this is the real cause of saurian extinction.

      Even high grades and actual brilliance aren’t necessarily enough, unless you’re truly a genius you need social skills to get into a college as well. Especially prestigious ones that actually perform entrance interviews.

    All my favourite relationship moments in the series are the ones that are really heartfelt and angsty, but I gotta say, Willis is going to have to try really hard to make these two sad about anything. What would they even argue about?

      Which dinosaur is cutest?
      Though that mix of passion, enthusiasm, and mild discord is likely what’ll lead to their eventual Slipshine encounter 😛

        I hope there’s no Dina slipshine. I mean, beyond the fact that lesbian sexcapades have no appeal for me, Dina is like… like the whole cast’s adorable little sister. Dina porno would just make me really uncomfortable.

          Isn’t part of the reason that Dina is pursuing a relationship to try and discourage that notion?

            I wouldn’t say she’s pursuing Becky to prove a point, more just that she likes her. She did kiss Becky the first time when Joyce, Dorothy and Sarah were belittling her, though.

    The time frame for how long it takes after THIS snippet of webcomic before Becky & Dina replace Sal’s & Jason’s faces on the Slipshine link.

    Place your bets now!

      I admit, they could just be the ‘sweet’ kinda shipping where that aspect of their relationship isn’t emphasised an awful lot by Willis himself, personally I love this arc just for how they simply appreciate each other like that.

      And of course there are other likely couples for the role of getting giggity jiggy with it, that much is obvious.

      …But if you HAD to put a date on it?
