What do you call a dinosaur with wings that can’t fly? Um… a dragon, as far as I’m concerned!
Scientists call it a Gigantoraptor (really, that’s what it’s called) and…
Gigantoraptor appears in an artist’s reconstruction to have cut a menacing figure on the Cretaceous landscape. Rearing on its hind limbs, it spread out forelimbs tipped with sharp claws and prepared to pounce on prey with an open mouth and strong beak. Independent dinosaur experts said the description of the fossils of the half-complete skeleton appeared to support the discoverers’ interpretations. They said Gigantoraptor probably had some feathers, though none were preserved.
Ha!
Artists’ rendering of actual events. No really. This is the picture the scientists released with their findings.
I don’t know. It looks more like Buckbeak than a dragon. I’m going to need to check your facts, Pizap.
Reckles, you made me laugh so hard I started to cry.
p.s. – Pizzap, looking at that picture with the subjects “bad ass, gigantoraptor, Amazing, Awesome” made me realize I’m dating Napoleon dynamite. what the heck.
ok you guys, enough slander. it’s not my fault you’re jealous that i broke the big dragon story first.
Sorry to further the slander, but I’m wondering why you said dragons can’t fly… They definitely can. Didn’t you ever see Eragon or Draco, the latter being the movie in which Sean Connery played a dragon…
…or maybe that was Dragonheart… either way, it was fucking awesome. I wish all dragons were Sean Connery and vice versa.
true. any self-respecting dragon should be able to fly. but duh, that didn’t happen until a dragon and a bird fell in love and a kindly wizard cast a spell on the dragon so it could fly to be near its beloved, and then they spawned the race of flying dragons.
duh.
is it just me or does that raptor have a limp wrist??
