australia had giant sloths

get fucked america

imagine hugging a giant sloth while you drift to sleep

I love prehistoric megafauna

That's a big bird

...

it exists

Well the ones in Ark are pretty good. Sucks they got rid of upping fly speed like 100 updates ago, having a quetz that could move like a pteranodon was sweet

...

>Australia had giant sloths
No they didnt.

why are you denying it

>no titanoboa video game
it hurts

Remember when we used to think Quetzalcoatlus looked like this?

Siberia had unicorns

Misleading pic. Those guys are standing way behind the bear. Arctotdus simus was huge but not 20 ft tall

Birds are lame, and by retroactive association dinosaurs are dragged down and suck now too. Bird bodies are horrendous. They're weak, porous, disease prone, you even so much as fart near them and they asphyxiate like a coal mine canary. Low tolerance for heavy metals, pollution, their constitution means they cant survive a famine of more than a week without dying of malnutrition. Their fragile little bodies get ripped apart by little more than weak high velocity pellets. This is a species that's arguably smarter than cats, but are still cat food, older than even mammals as a whole yet still fucking flies into windows.

We even fucking eat them because they are delicious. All sense of awe and mystique once held for them is utterly annihilated to such an extent that it would actually be better that they were made up fantasies that never existed, instead of the underwhelming reality. Seriously fuck birds. Ignoring the fact that birds constantly shit on us and steal our food, how come they're the only species that have yet to learn that mankind rules the fucking world?

Even wolves eventually learned if they took our sheep we'd hunt the entire pack down.

you jealous because you'll never fly around in the sky?

>australia had giant sloths
south america had giant sloths

Because they didnt. All ground sloths were endemic to South and North America. None of them were from Australia.

listen kid if you wanna get autistic about wikipedia facts you can go to reddit

im not interested

There's no way that thing could be so disproportioned. Something that top heavy couldn't even glide without jumping off a cliff. And then what, it spends the entire day climbing back up on those scrawny legs?

literally the same shit fuck off

...

>Make a blatantly wrongstatementt

Did you drop out of high school or something?

>Vore and choke fetishist: the game
Another option is to play Snake and pretend you are a Titanoboa eating small gators or something.

Was it really that huge? How can it fly with such a huge head and tiny body?

Apparently pterosaurs had airsacs in their wings.
Also the model is probably not accurate, they would have a head more like in terms of size

One of the few good changes from ark devs.
Fliers are still retarded level overpowered.

I'm playing the game right now and I enjoy it, but I have little hope for the future, because the devs focus on the wrong stuff and the fans play for such wildly different reasons that it's impossible to please them.

Too many fans strictly see the game as a grind to get X and want it to be exactly that, anything that might decrease the amount of X they get is a terrible change.
Like there would be people crying about a patch change if they added realistic tyrannosaurus AI, if it meant the players wouldn't be able to hunt for meat and hide as quickly.
Also I lost my Terror Birb today.
I'm gonna build a shrine for it where it died. 3x3 stone foundations on different heights with artifacts in the corners, the tombstone in the middle, walled in by glass.
Probably a chest containing the alpha carnotaurus arms that belonged to the murderers.

God gave them the gift of flight

unironically yes i did but im also merely pretending

u mad???

...

...

Imagine getting swallowed whole haha by one of those things and slicing your out from the inside.

Man when you think about it, early humans had some huge balls to stand up against the megafauna that existed back then just to feed their people/families. Imagine yourself going against a 6m creature and emerging victorious.

da dinosaw not have feathurs....dat mean it not good

they were probably slow and dumb as shit, there's a reason they died out

god was crazy in the cretacous

T-rex most likely did not have any feathers in the same way the Elephant barely has hair: once you get that big, barring extreme circumstances, you'll have more issues losing heat than gaining it

if T-rex had feathers they would have been sparse and mostly in a decorative function

But how did something with such an awkward body size even fly?

Air sacks? Is there any physical proof of this, or is this just Oort Cloud theorycrafting bullshit again?

>having any hope for the future of ark
mine all died when they delayed a patch by a month to instead release dlc for their early access game. it died further when they doubled the price to $60 for the still buggy piece of shit while still early access.

xD

For what its worth, the majority of large predators like Tyrannosaurus, Allosaurus, and Spinosaurus were likely completely featherless

>implying that's not worse

that’s the dumbest fucking t-rex design i’ve ever seen. good thing the feather fag who shat this out is wrong.

Not as mad as you'll be when youre working minimum wage jobs until youre 70

well I only have a little, I mean it could work out, but most likely not

...

permanent disability confirmed three days ago

thanks for paying taxes sweetie

You do know birds at one point did rule the world except as large theropods? They'd probably still be around if there wasn't a giant impact that decimated their dominance.
You can deny this all you want, but one day or another we'll stop being the dominant species. We're at the top of the food chain, meaning we're more susceptible of being the targets of a catylismic event than any other animal. At this point, no animal can compete with us, but you never know. Dinosaurs probably would still be around if it weren't for the impact, and if they were, mammals would have more than likely have gone extinct or remained tiny rodents forever.

OH NO NO NO NO

Considering that they had hollow bones and stuff I think you could say so.
If there are actual marks of airsacs I am not that sure. I don't remember the paper that much.

I got one in ARK.

Not him, but I have already resigned myself to a life of failure and disappointment. Lost another minimum wage job today because I overslept. Almost halfway to 70!

>woolly rhinoceros

man, was there anything that wasnt woolly back then?

More importantly, why isnt there anything woolly now?
When did woolly go out of style?

I have a sudden desire to blow that things head off with buckshot

...

>americans

>pretending to be retarded so you don't have to face the reality that you're actually retarded

Anyone else get sad most cool megafauna are gone?

What are you talking about

I guess hunting was more important in environments where the woolly megafauna lived.
And easier I guess. Easier to find a woolly rhino on the more open landscape in the north than a rhino in the jungle.

>moving backwards like that
>literally getting cucked by a bird lower than you in the foodchain

Those things can fucking kick you and puncture your chest or face with their talons. I would be shitting myself if I saw it coming at me full bore like that.

It's weird thinking that the Utahraptor was discovered immediately after Jurassic Park where velociraptors were depicted as human-sized when they were barely bigger than a chicken. Spielburg could've even named the utahraptor something else when he was given the opportunity since he technically founded the utahraptor, but didn't.

What is his fucking problem?

>I want to murder a beautiful, curious animal

even aussies can have cucked shotguns. The arrogance of that birb must be punished.

People, man
The first cavemen were just the kind of ironic snarky cunts who'd smugly make fun of anything woolly until entire species went extinct
They'd sit around their fire yelling out mean comments to woolly mammoths and shit

There's giant sloths in the tar pits of LA

Dinosaurs didn't existed

Turns out, Utahraptor lacks most of the athletic traits found in most raptors and instead is a total beast of an animal. Its more robust than most predators of its size.

>man, was there anything that wasnt woolly back then?
Yes, everything that wasn't in the upper North Hemisphere. And by upper I mean everything above France, maybe even a bit lower.

>More importantly, why isnt there anything woolly now?
There is, just not as abundant, and definately not the wooly version of tropic megafauna.

>When did woolly go out of style?
After the Ice Age

Someone fucked up, a head that large would serve no evolutionary benefit

Im a burger not an Aussie. You arent getting a dime of my money, cunt

>dinosaurs had feathers
>but not the flying ones, no

This is already a thing in Ark Survival Evolved. They're one of the most difficult to obtain and highly sought-after flying creatures.

>Pterosaurs are dinosaurs
>Pterosaurs hadn't feathers
The fur they are covered in are actually primitive feathers.

good luck, you cant survive long with your guts out.

...

It's an end-game mount in ARK

A giant chicken!

yeah they got that big

this was the largest polar bear hunted

>implying food chain matters

All most dangerous animals in the world are herbivores. Hippo, buffalo and rhino.

That's a big bear

Knowing myself I'd panic and try to round
house kick it

>muh mankind is better than all animals
Yeah, now you'll tell me you can beat a hippo in a one-on-one fight. We are fucking pathetic when it comes to what we can do, it's our complex brains that carry us.

...

...

>Not counting elephants in the list

I still think it’s possible a few could have survived past the supppsed extinction date but it’s more then likely all gone now. Fucking sucks.

...

...

This. If anything humanity has been a disease on the ecosystems of earth. By natural design we would have been devoured and or trampled really quickly had it not been for our brains.

those are the ones that kill the most from among large mammals, but that doesn't mean they're potentially the most dangerous to humans

i'd take having to face a pissed off hippo over a pissed off tiger any day
well, unless i'm in water in which case i'm totally fucked either way

pterosaurs aren't dinosaurs and they have pycnofibers

there's research about american alligator that could suggest that pterosaur pycnofibers, crocodile scuta and bird feathers are homologous though

>Daily reminder that birds come from a branch of tree-dwelling faggots while their chad brothers and cousins terrorized and ruled the planet with an iron jaw.

Well it does. Ironically on a prehistoric level many big dangerous predators died simply because the bodies they had were too big to maintain the daily sustenance it needed to survive. That’s why all big predators peak and then dive off a cliff into extinction rather quickly.

Pretty sure our brains came first and the unnecessary muscle faded away over time.

Humans still have more stamina and endurance than many animals, we can run marathons which would cause most animals to die of exhaustion.

Not even remotely true. Pic related kills more humans than any animal that isnt a snake or an insect.
