Fuck that, I've been in close proximity to ostriches and emus and they one hundred percent seem like dinosaurs.
Cassowaries are even worse.
The cassowary was the only thing in the zoo that Steve Irwin seemed a little bit scared of. There's an episode where the cassowary got loose and he immediately stopped joking around and told all the keepers to go get the shields to corral it back into its pen. I wouldn't dream of fucking around with a cassowary.
Lol I always imagined cassowaries as the armor division in the emu war.
TIL dimetrodon is not a dinosaur, based on a silhouette in a cartoon.
I haven't really thought about dimetrodons since I was a kid.
The name (di metro don β two teeth sizes) is a clue, as teeth specialization is very much a synapsid (i.e., mammal and proto-mammal) thing.
They are actually closer related to mammals than to any modern reptile
Who else is in the lower right corner? πββοΈ
