I’m not actually Arlo, I’m actually an Acrocanthosaurus that managed to get internet access.

Similar to the lifestyle of Hippos.

We think this because of their build and that they would have lived in lush environments and likely frequented swamps and rivers.

But really no studies have come out about Lurdusaurus being semi aquatic.

And in my opinion, they are criminally underrated.

Although, in 2024 another study came saying it might actually be an early Pachycephalosaur.

So, I got nothing 🤷‍♀️

Like I mentioned it was pretty small, only about 1 meter (3.3ft) in length, and weighed about 10-20 pounds.

So regardless of what they are classified as, they were 100% cutie pies!

Okay, time to get lost in a book 📖

I’m sorry, can we take a moment to appreciate the man that is Leon Kennedy? 🥵

Yeah, I’m about to be real fucking annoying.

This is super cute 🥰

Now the scientific community, even at the time, called this absurd and it was never seriously considered by paleontologists.

BUT!

Edgar Rice Burroughs (creator of Tarzan) did use the idea in Tarzan At Earth’s Core.

It features a flying Stegosaurus but in the book it’s named the dyrodor.

Imagine pissing me off.

Hatzegopteryx, a giant giraffe sized pterosaur that probably preyed on Magyarosaurus, or at least the young and/or sick.

And if you don’t think a dwarf titanosaurian sauropod is one of the coolest things ever, you’re wrong.

Sigh.

This was bad.

First of all, the indigenous representation in this book was not great, at all.

Secondly, the idea of spooky stuff happening at remote cabin in the mountains was intriguing.

But the writing wasn’t good and the book was just so repetitive.

With plates and spikes down it’s body and tail.

Essentially these babies are just what you would get if you crossed a stegosaur and a sauropod.

Evolution is wild, and I love it for giving us these weirdos.

Possibly for temperature regulation, or to support extra muscle like a bisons hump.

And extra fun fact, in Jurassic World Dominion we are shown Giganotosaurus, which looks way more like Acrocanthosaurus.

Which makes me believe that they were the original plan, but Giga is more known.

Kaprosuchus is a relative of modern crocodilians but not a direct ancestor of them. Any of the similarities they share with modern crocodilians are because of convergent evolution.

And while it’s not a dinosaur it did live along side icons like Spinosaurus, Carcharodontosaurus and Paralititan.

See Amargasaurus had these two rows of structures that ran along their neck and back.

Some think these sails would have been covered in keratin to form twin rows of spikes.

Although a more favored belief is that they would have been more of twin sails.

They are the state fossil of Illinois.

The classification of Tullimonstrum has been a debate since it was discovered in 1958.

Whatever Tullimonstrum turns out to be, it’s discovery proves that the ocean has been a weird ass place from the beginning.

Ostrom even personally believed they had feathers, although feathered dinosaurs weren’t really accepted at the time.

The discovery of Deinonychus really shifted the way people saw dinosaurs.

Deinonychus are also what the Jurassic Park Velociraptors are based off!
