If it's strong enough to throw an F-150, that dino is fucked. Also, we barely know what lived in upland and interior environments, so who knows what adaptations they had. Most dinosaur fossils come from lowland settings near rivers and coasts where rapid burial was likely. There are whole ecosystems we've basically never sampled.

This drives me crazy. Along with the fact that we'll probably never know about the various colors and fleshy structures that these animals had.

Or what they taste like if you serve them with a side salad

Chicken! Maybe turkey, but probably chicken or possibly another game bird, but probably chicken!
