Chickens came from T-Rexs

I Google further and it's no joke

That must sucks. You are a mighty scary dominant T-Rex and before you can say 65 million years, you are a pitiful chicken and everyone wants to turn you into their next supper.

There is also this but I don't trust anything this site writes

G. gallus is descended from T. rex in the same way you are from a Lemur. That is to say they are both from the same order (Therapodia, Primates, respectively), but both are rather far along in their own evolutionary specialisation from their common ancestor, and neither 'evolved from the other'. Distantly related cousins, rather than parent-child, and not from Norfolk).

T. rex lies completely outside aves, in the same way that both H. sapiens lies completely outside Strepsirrhini and Lemuroidea lies completely outside Simiophormes

Having had some hens, it surprised me that this fact wasn't recognised years ago. Cruel buggers they are, remorselessly shredding one of their coop-mates if she shows signs of ill-health.
We adopted 9 ex-battery hens that resembled scrotums on legs, so bald were they due to their unnatural and stressful previous environment. Free-ranging in our garden, they soon feathered up and displayed normal chicken behaviours, scratching, dust-bathing and killing each other. We put up an electric fence to stop the dogs preying on them, but we needn't have bothered as the dogs were terrified of them, and allowed them to steal their food.
I had severely scalded my foot, so wearing sandals whilst collecting eggs, I felt a sharp nip and witnessed a hen tearing down the garden consuming my blistered skin she had pecked off. She then followed me round for the rest of her days with an evil glint in her eye, having got the taste for 'Long Pig' I swear.
#%&*$# I tell ye.

After reading that BD-123, I want some wings.

Reminded me of this:

All of those Foghorn Leghorn classic shorts were brilliantly made. Those are timeless really.

Was there any contention about birds being dinosaurs? They are reptiles, if it were to turn out they were actually not dinosaurs I'd guess they'd be something else in ornithodira or some other clade in archosauria. But dinosauria seems to fit best, especially coelurosauria with them feathers and all.

I had a turtle out front of my house a few weeks ago. On the road. Those things are definitely dinosaurs, I don't care what anyone says. With the help of a neighbour , we able to get him onto my snow shovel, and put him safely off the road. There is a pond nearby. He was a cranky little fella.

He was a cranky little fella. LOL


You would be cranky if you had to carry that dam shell around all day as it prolly weighs a ton.

Turtles always remind me of poor tired old dudes that are fed up...

Very funny looking creature but who knows maybe we look a tad funny to them.

I came across one years ago mountain biking. I stopped to check him out. As I got close, he turned and stood off with me haha. They aren't afraid.

Not as funny as my friend, who fancy's himself a tough guy. He was biking the same trail and a Prarie dog chased him. I would have paid to see that.

Wow

Never seen a real Prarie dog except in nature docs.

Looks tough enuff.

My buddy has a real st bernard though.

He worked in canada got the dog when he was a puppy.

Sweet christ but they are a very LOYAL dog.

Your mountain police use them i think.

Huge and very powerful animal...

I was told that turtles do bite and they won't let go.

Lol...

T rex wings

Looks good to me...

Yumyum.

A prairie dog is basically a gopher.
We have an expression, when having to use the bathroom urgently. "I'm Prarie doggin".

they are cute

That's why I would have paid to see my friend pedaling like a mad man to get away.

From T-Rex to Prairie Dogs....Gotta love SimHQ!

Prairie dogs are brave

It's the turtles fault.
