Unrestrained Indy Fan

Now, to him, this word was just an infuriating attempt at saying "carnivore", which in context, makes sense. What neither he nor I knew at the time is that this is not the case. Carnotaurs are real dinosaurs. And they're really cool.

Carnotaurus sastrei, the only one of its genus, is one of the few dinosaurs we have with some of its skin preserved. We know from those preservations that it had scales, which is one of the things we assume generally about dinosaurs that we have very little evidence for. Carnotaurs also were the only known carnivorous dinosaurs with horns, which is why it's named after a bull. The other half of its name (carno-) means "meaty", and even just looking at the skeleton, you can tell that it was one THICC ASS BOI.

I'm at least 90% certain this motherfucker looked like a sausage with teeth and thighs. We all clown on the T-Rex for its tiny arms, but look at this motherfucker. We're talking whale pelvis levels of vestigial here.

Another cool thing is that geographically, the movie having these as the main hunters makes more sense than having Tyrannosaurs. T-rex lived in what is now North America, whereas these death bratwurst lived in South America. We know that the asteroid that caused the extinction of the dinosaurs landed in the Gulf of Mexico, and given that we see in the movie that very asteroid hit the earth, I don't think it takes place in what would one day become California.

Then the scientist said: “You know I worked on one of these, right?”

“What, one of the Jurassic Park movies?”

“No, like an actual Jurassic Park. Real ‘man destroys god, man creates dinosaurs’ stuff. We were going to open an actual theme park with actual dinosaurs.”

She narrowed her eyes. “You’re fucking with me.”

“I’m dead serious.” Ice cubes clinked together as she flourished the glass. “Some billionaire saw the movie in the nineties and immediately started privately developing his own dinosaur theme park. It actually got pretty far into development.”

She looked into the depths of the drink. “Didn’t end well.”

On the screen, Bob Peck was talking about lysine.

“Was it velociraptors?”

She looked up, blinking away the vision she saw in the glass. “Hm?”

“Did it go bad because velociraptors?”

“Oh, no, the velociraptors actually turned out to be very sweet. If you can imagine a penguin mixed with a hawk, that’s a velociraptor. And all the tyrannosaurus wanted to do was sleep and seduce her handler.

“The problem was the brachiosaurus.”

The ice cubes clinked together as she tipped her head back and finished the drink too quickly.

On the screen, Samuel L. Jackson was talking about butts.

She swirled the glass and stared at the ice cubes as they rattled off each other.

“Did you know that cows kill an average of twenty people a year?” she asked.

“Deliberately, too. A predator will kill for food, or if it thinks you’re a threat, but mostly they don’t care about people.

“But a cow? A cow will trample you because it’s a big, dumb, territorial thing and it’s genetically designed to protect itself from predators.

happy pride here are some lesbian dinosaur birdies <3

Deinocheirus, Microraptor, Oviraptor, Dimetrodon, Stegosaurs, Europasaurus, Eremotherium, Daeodon, Opthalmosaurus, Basilosaurus and Koolasuchus!!!

As well as a few more species I'm keeping under wraps!!!

They scheme

A) he's managed to work with scientists and animals for years and somehow hasn't been told that that isn't a real thing

Or

A) he doesn't know he's autistic (probably due to going from not having to understand emotions due to being in the military to not having to understand allism because nearly everyone in the arc is autistic so he just assumes that's normal)
