what are those
quetzalcoatlus northropi!
or sky giraffes, either/or.
Mega pterodactyl
Their skeletons are fucking spooky to see in real life. Imagine what it felt like when they took off. They'd fucking run too.
Dinosaurs are cool
Even though they lived alongside each other, pterosaurs weren't dinosaurs
Predatory giraffes
Beak things
Quetzalcoatlus northropi is the scariest dinosaur I've ever seen.
I can only imagine what those huge beaks were for. Like diving from the sky at some prey, simply punching it straight through it like a huge spear.
My money is on heron style since they can stalk around and look down through cover:
We scared up a Blue Heron at the swamp last month. Seen plenty of them from a slight distance. They are monsters up close.
And where exactly will you hide?
Not a dinosaur, but yes
Beak things
I too experienced Kenshi flashbacks from this meme.
Holy do I get the reference
This one I don't
Beak things == break stuff

Irl claw game. But you're the snack
Check out the show Prehistoric Planet. There's an episode all about them. The entire show is great and there is a new third season coming out soon.
WHAT ARE THOSE?!?!
