Did Dinosaurs Flirt?
History ^ | 11/4/11 | staff

Posted on 11/04/2011 3:28:50 PM PDT by Winstons Julia

Oviraptor tails were also extremely muscular, and, according to fossil impressions, had a fan of feathers at the end. In Persons’ view, oviraptors could very well have used their muscular, flexible tails to wave their feathers in order to impress potential mates, just as peacocks use their magnificent jewel-toned feathers in courtship displays today.

I suspect the ones at the New York Times were too busy admiring themselves in the mirror....

(Oh. Was this about literal dinosaurs?)

Laz needs to know that he really doesn't need to stand on his hands and wiggle.

Other techniques have been pioneered.

I guess it would depend on which way their tails were waggling and what dialect they were roaring in.

I do. Most decidedly ... I do.

If we know they flirted...then we know they went extinct happy!

No kidding. How stupid are these people? Every living species has one or many rituals/mechanisms/biological properties that could be interpreted as 'flirting'. If it didn't it would end up extinct pretty quickly.

Hence the saying, “She’s got some tail on her”.

Or, as Dino once said, “I’m gonna get some tail”.

PS: I did pass most of my geology courses.
