[@CrazyEight-art]

@@jameschristopher2540 there are quite a few animals today that eat their prey still living, it’s possible dinosaurs did the same. I heard a story awhile back that a couple went on a camping trip and left some kind of camera on(maybe a trail cam, but don’t remember why), but sometime in the tent a bear started tearing at them, all with the camera picking up the audio. The camera had been found by local authorities after everything went down but wasn’t released to the public out of respect for the families of the victims. I’ll probably have to go back to find out more about what actually happened. Edit: yep, the story was of Timothy Treadwell. He was some kind of environmentalist who thought he could live with the animals or something, and went on a camping trip with his girlfriend during a time when Bears were particularly aggressive. The audio of the attack lasted 6 minutes. 2 minutes of it are up on KZbin, but it’s extremely hard to listen too.

These aren't accurate (except maybe the first one). A majority of what makes these images scary comes from the grey washed colour pallet, from the use of some very imaginative disfiguration (the one without eyes or mouths) and visible gore, from the framing in dark environments which obscures most of the animal, and the damn shining glowing red eyes. They are scary though

People think bears are cute, but bears are also terrifying when encountering them in person, the same apply to dinosaurs.

[@user-jk6wh7mo3j]

Here are two Terrifying but accurate dino facts: The T Rex is betrayed in most movies as loud and destructive when hunting or catching prey giving its prey enough time to hear it coming before being attacked. Well this is cap, Scientist have actually found out that the T rex was most likely an ambush predator and was actually able to both outrun and sneak up on its prey without making a sound due to the soft material on the pads of its feet. That means by the time you notice the T rex, it's already too late. The second fact is that all movies petrayed the Dilophosaur as a cute small but deadly acid spraying dino that could only stand at 4 ft, This is also cap, The dilophosaur was a huge dangerous predator that could grow up to 10 ft tall and 23 ft long and weighing in at 900 pounds Thats as tall as an elephant and as large as a tiger!!!!!!!

"accurate dinosaurs aren't scary" when they get eaten alive by a hungry dakotaraptor:

[@Azureblue25]

0:32 and this is basically what you’d see before it attacks you, but then you’re able to run away because you threw an object at it to distract it, the Dromaeosaurid depicted in this section of the video is also pretty much the same size as a Dakotaraptor which makes it all the more fitting, 1:22 is what you see when you look out through your backdoor window when you turn the lights on, taking place hours after you’ve made it back to your house, and you realize it stalked you all the way back to your house, and if you notice two other lights that look like eyes on the right in the background, it’s brought some pack members with it.

There was this dinosaur I can’t remember its name but the way it hunts is so precise. Basically it has knowledge on which points in the body are the weakest for its prey, not just the neck. It would bite the weaker ligament and tendon groups of its prey to bring it down more efficiently. It’s like using proper technique than brute force in a fight Now that’s scary.

@@ExtremeMadnessX The word "scary" is just a thing to mess with your head. But the word "bravery" makes you strong. Scariness is just a feeling. And feelings is a reaction to perceive expressions.

Fun Fact: Raptors are able to mimic sound effects really well to the point if you speak it will automatically store what sound you made in they’re mind, and manage to exactly replicate what you said, for example, if you shot a gun, they would be able to mimic it so well in pitch, and volume it will sound like an exact gunshot

[@AristasTheMonsterHunter]

Uh? This sounds like something made up by either JP, some of those old "documentaries" that tried to make the dinosaur/s they where about seem like the peak of ""evolution"", or a really, really immaginative paleoartist. We have no way of knowing if dinosaurs could do this (likely not), we can hardly know how they sounded. There are birds that mimick sounds, and technically they are dinosaurs (still, raptors like eagles and hawks can't do this, it's mainly a songbird thing), but unlike the non-avian ones, birds have the syrinx, wich is their equivalent of the pretty much mammalian only vocal chords. Dinosaur didn't have syrinxes, and therefore they sounded more like other archosaurs like crocodilians. There was no way they would be able to mimick stuff.

[@YourLocalViewer360]

​@@AristasTheMonsterHunter There is actually a bird that exists that can mimic things. If something that can mimic other animals or sounds doesn't exist, that specific species of bird wouldn't

[@Azureblue25]

@@AristasTheMonsterHunterActually non avian Dinosaurs did have syrinxes, the Ankylosaurid known as Pinacosaurus was discovered with a fossilized syrinx, the only reason why we haven’t seen this with other species is because its rare for something like that to fossilize, so it’s likely that all Dinosaurs had syrinxes just like the animals that are literally a part of the same group as them, Birds, and it’s even possible that all Dinosaurs would’ve had at the very least small proto feather coverings much like Elephants today that have small hairs on them, even Cetaceans have small hairs on them at some point in their lives but they lose it with age, although Whales have baleen as hairlike teeth throughout their lifespan, Mammals & Dinosaurs (including Birds in this scenario) are both warm blooded which often correlates to having either feathers or fur, with some having more than others of course, but never completely absent, so even giant Sauropods could’ve had small hair-like proto feathers randomly dispersed throughout their bodies that are only visible when seen up close just like Elephants. Also Pterosaurs may have been more closely related to Dinosaurs than Paleontologists currently think outside of the fact that Pterosaurs & Dinosaurs are both Archosaurs, to the point that they could be reclassified as true Dinosaurs but they’d be classified as their own group in the Dinosaur family tree due to their notable differences to Saurischians & Ornithischians, so Pterosauria would be the 3rd new group added to join Saurischia & Ornithischia as the main distinct groups of Dinosaurs, especially since Pterosaurs were covered in hair-like filaments called Pycnofibers and were likely warm blooded just like Dinosaurs & Mammals.
