While technically the name “cross fox” is correct here, it’s not because this is a cross of two species. This is actually the (confusing) name of this red fox color morph. It gets this name because the dark color forms a cross over the fox’s shoulders. Cross foxes are slightly more common in the wild than the red fox’s other color morph, the silver fox.

Cool!

also according to michael collins when the three of them were discussing what neil armstrong should say when he first stepped on the moon, collins suggested armstrong say “Oh, my God, what is that thing?”  and then scream and cut out his mic.

Everyone forgets Michael Collins and it’s fucking tragic.

not gonna lie that still looks intimately real

And they had the film it in small increments, especially in the outdoor scenes, because the rain fall kept soaking into the ‘skin’ of the rex and would slow down and mess up its movements. So they would stop filming and have a crew out there drying off this massive, fake dinosaur, and then they’d start filming again until it was too wet. Repeat until the end of the scene.

Did not know this, had to reblog for awesome movie history insights.

This is getting better and better.

I think they only had like 6 minutes of CGI

I’m just waiting for the T-Rex to come to life and leave its stand.

@spinosaurus-the-fisher is this the kind of content you love?

Realism comes at a cost, it seems.

It’s a three piece raptor suit.

Old movies had the best special effects

The thing about this that gets my special effects nerd going is the fact that EVERY single dinosaur was sculpted by artists based on the current existent archeological evidence of the time.

This post just gets better and better with time

I love stuff like this. Also, not gonna lie, I still miss Primeval. Like, a whole lot. The final two seasons made in Ireland were so freaking awesome. And I know it’s been like 9 years and Andrew Lee Potts and Hannah Spearitt aren’t together anymore, but I’d sell my soul to write Primeval audios for Big Finish. You can blame @0tralala for that, too Dinosaur Chasey Chase, indeed.

Please keep this going.🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

I gotta watch this.

This is precious and exactly what we all need.

Jesus Christ they just assisnated the president

Okay but the “where are the kids” “they’re out back” made me ugly laugh

A1 Dad humor

Omg her panicked mom voice literally scared the cougar away

Oh to be, oh to be, oh to be!

my fave greek history story to tell is that of agnodice. like she noticed that women were dying a lot during childbirth so she went to egypt to study medicine in alexandria and was really fucking good but b/c it was illegal for women to be doctors in athens she had to pretend to be a man. and then the other doctors noticed that she was 10x better than them and accused her of seducing and sleeping with the women patients. like they brought her to court for this. and she just looked at them and these charges and stripped in front of everyone like “yeah. im not fucking your wives” and then they got so mad that a woman was better at their jobs then them that they tried to execute her but all her patients came to court and were like “are you fucking serious? she is the reason you have living children and a wife.” so they were shamed into changing the law and that is how women were given the right to practice medicine in athens

Yeah, this isn’t some Greek myth story about a hero or demigod or something, Agnodice was a real person who actually did this.

Women’s history.
