  He’s got a point, “Lions don’t sneak up behind buffalo &amp; roar &amp; then chase them down…” he’s sure got a point..”It’s part raptor….And part raptor.”😂😂

  Passionate paleontologist who thinks children are annoying? 10/10 for accuracy on Dr Grant at least.

  I love how easy it is to debunk any animal only seeing movement:<br>&quot;It can only see movement&quot;<br>&quot;Uh-uh... then how did it avoid slamming into every tree and every rock it met?&quot;

  I always thought &quot;Don&apos;t move, their eyesight is based on movement&quot; is something you tell somebody else as you run away.

  &quot;I refuse on principle to answer &apos;who would win in a fight&apos; questions about dinosaurs because it&apos;s trite and uninteresting. But it&apos;s T-Rex.&quot; Lmfao that was a good one.

  &quot;I&apos;m not going to answer who would win because that&apos;s about the most boring question you could ask about dinosaurs.<br><br>Also, the T-rex would win.&quot;<br><br>This was absolutely wonderful.

  I LOVE that he pointed out that herbivores can be extremely dangerous and aggressive. I literally lived in the Rockies, we had brown and black bears, lynx and other small wild cats, wolves, and bunch of other top predator animals right there all over the forest outside our doors, and the two animals we had to watch out for most where Elk, and Bighorn Sheep since they were the most aggressive in terms unexpected encounters with them. Elks reer up and beat you with their front hooves it&apos;s enough to pummel you to death, and Bighorns charge and ram but they live in large herds and they team up if threatened by you getting too close to the heard. Most predators flee long before a human even sees them unless they have a reason to protect the territory you&apos;re both in, they are desperate for food and are now willing to stalk other animals they usually see as competing predators, or you&apos;re being dumb and blocking their escape route/trying to approach them which they see as you stalking and hunting them.

  So Rexy’s eyesight actually has a canonical reason. <b>She</b> actually <b>can’t</b> see static objects very well, as Alan quickly realised in the book that she was relying far too much on her olfactory senses than her sight. With Rexy specifically it’s explained/theorised that the multitudes of reptilian, amphibian and avian DNA used to create her also caused her to develop myopia. It’s why she only goes after Lex and Tim after Alex shines the torch in her face, and why she chases Ian over Grant, as Ian is moving way more <b>and</b> making lots of noise to attract her attention. And with Gennaro, he <b>screams</b> really loud, letting Rexy know exactly where he is (also, there’s a good chance that he probably straight up pissed himself, I mean, I know I would, so she’d be able to smell the ammonia in his urine as well, helping her scope out his exact location even more)
