How do they know it’s not a ostrich or emu?
Yeah, that was record breaking lame.
What I don’t understand about this dinosaur/bird thing is a birds legs are a concave shape and dinosaurs( the theropods type pictured here) are convex. Whats up with that?
Same reason we have southerners and the Irish.
They are still evolving..... : )

AHHHHAHHAHAHHA VERY FUNNY i hope a tornado throws a doublewide on you when you and your wooly mammoth when you go outside your cave
And from what I understand cats share 14% of the same DNA we do.
You do not want to got there my friend. :)
Marvelous find!
That's right unless you believe humans began, looking just as they are today, in the Garden of Eden 6,000 years ago.
That's when it was first proposed by a [then considered] nutcase. Yeah...the 97% blew him off.
From Wikipedia:
David Attenborough, who attended university in the second half of the 1940s, recounted an incident illustrating its lack of acceptance then: "I once asked one of my lecturers why he was not talking to us about continental drift and I was told, sneeringly, that if I could prove there was a force that could move continents, then he might think about it. The idea was moonshine, I was informed.It started to gain adherents in some circles in the 50's (I was born in '52) but I was flat out told by my elementary school teacher that my theory that South America looked like it could fit into Africa (a theory held by every child that ever looked at a globe) was wrong and it was "just a coincidence".
It was not until 1968 that it became the dominate thought.
Just remember that when Global Warmists pound you over the head about "settled science" and the 97% "consensus".
As a geology major in the 80s I worked as an assistant for an invertebrate paleontologist. Not as interesting a field as vertebrate paleontology, IMO, but still fascinating, as it also involved paleogeography (continental drift/ Plate Tectonics).
How the bumper stickers and t-shirts that read "Reunite Pangea".
Silkie chicken!
As I mentioned earlier, our DNA is 98% or greater the same as a chimpanzee. We and they are genetically closer than they are to gorillas.
One crapped on my head around a week ago while I was sitting on a park bench.
Not really. Based on their anatomy it isn't very likely that they could run very fast. Unlike an Ostrich their thigh bones were too long in comparison to their shin bones. Also, with their tiny arms, they would have had a very difficult time getting back up if they fell.
Ok, fine. Take me from nothing (primordial soup) to these complex creates. Also, recreate that process in a lab.
It really is miraculous how life arose from subatomic matter, even the simplest of life forms. There apparently is a lot more going on in the bizarre realm of quantum mechanics that we know and likely can never know.
SO any discussion of creationism vs evolution must be put on the shelf until first life is explained. Evolution will always be a theory, with lots of holes in it.
I decided against mounts a while ago.
Eventually they become dust catchers, and they take up quiet a bit of space.
Beau is right. They are expensive!
Some utility can be gained from a rug, but mostly, I decided to opt for digital pictures.
They do not take up space are easy to transport, and you can give away as many as you want!
Maybe a big blow-up picture from the hunt could greet visitors.
Congrats to Beau on a great trophy.
I am from “southern” Minnesota and am part Irish.
Swedish, Finnish, Norwegian, Irish and French.
I apologize for the French part but she got the Irish ancestor drunk and here I am.
