Dinosaur Traumatizes Aussie School

In America we get lame shit like bring your daughter to work day. In Australia apparently they get bring your Dino to School day. The only thing better than the roar of a T-Rex is a child's scream. The only thing better than that is a school full of children screaming and running in sheer terror. Unfortunately no children were harmed in the making of this video.

Hipster Dinosuars

No wonder they're extinct, no one wanted to procreate with them. An artist known as Molly Lewis drew these, take that 'inside of the lines'!

The past was awesome. No wonder he was so good at conquering.

Jurassic Park The Musical, Srsly.

Yah really. A group of people in Nebraska decided to put on a musical performance of Jurassic Park in their backyard for their parents and unwilling neighbors. 

 

If you have the time and the patience for super low-budget regional theatre, if a backyard can be considered a region, then by all means watch. I for one see this a blasphemous to the holy work of amazingness that is Jurassic Park, but i guess a lot of love did go into this. They say imitation is the highest form of flattery, but what you call imitation, I call the rape of the natural world. Below is part 1 of the video:

It's Velociraptor Season

Are you prepared? Apparently September is National Velociraptor awareness month.

Think you're not at risk for raptor attacks, think they're just a 6-foot turkey? Think again. We already know that they're lethal at 8 months and I do mean lethal, but they're also astonishing jumpers. They won't enter your house from the front door, but from the side, through the bathroom window. Think that a fence will stop them? They'll test that fence for weaknesses, systematically.

Raptor 2.0

Scientists are trying to make it up to us for their Triceratops blunder. First they said it was a young Torosaurus, then they decided to make all Toros be called Trikes. Well nice attempt, but we still have a bone to pick with you!
Contrary to popular belief, real Velociraptors didn't look like their Stan Winston created counterparts in Jurassic Park. They were most likely feathered and the size of a turkey, resembling more of something along the lines of a...turkey.

However in a desperate attempt to get us to like them again, scientists have beefed up a cousin to the raptor known as: Balaur Bondoc. This dino came with not one but TWO slashy slashy claws on their feet. Making it that much easier for them to slash you across the belly spilling your intestines so that you can be alive when they start to eat you. They were also estimated to be about 6-7 feet long.


The Balaur lived during the Cretaceous Era when all the continents were in one giant island pile and the world was in constant Spring Break-party mode. Recent fossils have been discovered in what is now Romania giving us access to a partial skeleton.
