Dinosaur news

[GuateGojira]

Exactly. The person that wrote that webpage is very stupid and his aproach is biased and based in no evidence. The animal lived in Madagascar, why in the hell he compare it with the T. rex? I can bet that the Majungasaurus was a best predator that this "crocodile".

However, I repeat, my point is not related with a supposed "invincibility" of the T. rex (it was not), after all it was not a "super-dinosaur".

My point is regarding the constant comparisons. I mean, why nobody says "large as Giganotosaurus" or "that eclipsed the Carcharodontosaurus", just to give an example. Is like Dr Turner (as far I remember) says in a document about the size of prehistoric cats: many times instead of presenting estimated sizes the news only says is "large as a lion", but what "lion" are they talking about, an average or the biggest ever?

I still remember an article (I will try to search it) where someone complained of the same thing, is like there are no other large and powerfull dinosaurs to make comparisons! Maybe the people of the news are too lazy to make a deep investigation in order to present the scientific documents and I have many examples where the periodists present ideas in the news that are not what the author presents in the document. But I suspect that is all related with "sensacionalism" and as T. rex is famous, they compare all the new dinosaurs or other prehistoric animals with it. Reply
