1265 is likely an extradimentional space, with the dinos returning to their own time when they leave, in a zoo-esque environment, most likely. This would explain why they appear sedated when they reappear. As for the 1265-a instances becoming non-aggressive when they’re discovered, it’s likely that human knowledge weakens them, making them less aggressive when they become 1265-A instances.

Interestingly, Ginkgo trees, which are still around today, also predate grass at 170mya. I guess other than trees and shrubs, the dinosaurs' plains and forest floor would have been mostly ferns (300mya).

[@rogueascendant6611]

True, back then there were no grass during those eras. Grass only came about and evolved when mammals became the next species to dominate the land and herbivores did adapt in grazing this fertile areas.

READ FOR SOME DINO FACTS!! The dino depicted as 1265-a is a therizenosaurus, so it has been identified. U can tell cause of the long claws. But whats bizarre here is that therizenosaurus was actually an herbivore, due to it's leaf-shaped teeth made for grinding up vegetation, and its claws were meant to bring branches to its mouth as well as self defense. Also, spinosaurus is indeed my favorite. Another fun fact, Baryonix is the pre-evolved relative of the spinosaurus, its almost completely identical asside from its smaller size and lack of the signature spine on the back, and both were most likely fishers, their teeth were more suited to fish than large dinosaurs

[@benjaminc.9015]

My theory: SCP-1265 is actually the result of people's love and obsession with dinosaurs. First clue was that the area had existed for at least 200 years. The first dinosaur discovered, megalosaurus, was discovered in 1819 before receiving its name 5 years later. Second clue were 1265-A instances being dinosaurs that were discovered were docile to humans unless provoked, 1265-a instances are openly hostile and aggressive to humans and 1265-A instances. Up until their bones were finally discovered, they became reclassified as 1265-A. Third clue is the fact the dinosaurs cannot leave SCP-1265, no matter how hard they try, as if a mysterious force or the anomalous properties of the area was designed to be that way. SCP-1265 is an anomaly that is indeed Jurassic Park; resurrected dinosaurs and non-dinosaurs from extinction so that people would come and appreciate the wildlife. Which is why the 1265-A instances are normally docile because they are loved by so many, especially children. The 1265-a instances, however, are aggressive and hostile because they aren't discovered yet and therefore aren't loved, attacking every living creature out of envy... until they do get discovered eventually. There are so many terrifying and disturbing anomalies out in the world and across space-time, that the more explorative and glamorous anomalies that exist for the heart and soul of the appreciative. (Note: I also find it interesting of the "floppy-earred ceratopsid" 1265-a instance, it appears that if evolution, or more accurately when, is given the chance to change this dinosaur family group further, it would have made the frills softer and turn into appendages similar to ears. What purpose would these ears make? Most likely how African Elephants use them, flapping them to radiate excess heat under the harsh African sun. And also communicate with each other, and express either joy or anger. But, because of that meteor, we're never gonna get the chance to see them evolve any further, or more accurately they're not gonna evolve any further. And Microraptor Foundationii, I would've LOVED to see a creature with more than four limbs that isn't a cephalopod or a bug. I would've called it a 4-winged griffin if I saw that thing in real life.) Sorry about this little rant, I've always liked dinosaurs ever since I was a kid. You can't blame a guy for being a dinosaur enthusiast, right?
