Paleontologists have uncovered the remains of megaraptor that lived 70 million years ago, making it one of the last carnivorous dinosaur to roam the Earth. Discovered in Argentina, the team found vertebrae, ribs and part of what would have been the dinosaur's chest and shoulder girdle. After a further analysis, they determined the creature was approximately 33 feet in length -the largest megaraptor found to date. Unlike the Tyrannosaurus rex, this lethal dinosaur had extremely long, muscular arms with massive claws at the end that were used to attack prey.

In the old Japanese Monster movies, those creatures always seemed to sound like angry elephants.

Mankind and that real “Terror Bird” nearly co-existed at the same time—certainly, it was close!

Most modern taxonomist classify birds as dinosaurs. Chickens and turkeys are theropod dinosaurs (first proposed by Thomas Henry Huxley) in the same clade as T. rex.

so, you’re saying that the earth is filled with creamy nougat and that the under dwellers eat it to make caverns for themselves to live in?

What are the requirements to be one of them under dweller people?

If only Dinosaurs had practiced social distancing and wore a mask in public. They might still be here!

This should be a no brainer, cut the femur bones open and check for soft tissue and carbon 14!
