Omnivores were probably about as common as they are today. Very few animals are consistently omnivorous. But tons of animals will eat stuff like bugs and rodents when they find them.

Chickens and pigs are good examples of omnivorous domesticated animal. They can generally survive on vegetable diets, although it's best if you have a variety of different grains and nuts for protein.

Endothermic ("warmblooded") and ectothermic ("coldblooded"), although it's not as simple as "hot and cold". Afaik there are also other variants of thermoregulation in animals, but I am not very knowledgeable about this.

>>51192799
Just because it's an aquatic reptile dosen't mean you can't call it a dinosaur, the only people who correct you are neckbeards who get off to that.

>>51193428
It's not totally clear.

For some of the larger ones, like the really big sauropods, it's likely impossible that they were warm-blooded, since they'd essentially cook themselves alive just by walking around.

But for others--especially smaller theropod dinosaurs, like raptors--it's quite possible that they were warm-blooded, considering they'd have to be pretty reliant on quick movement and reflexes to hunt and avoid being hunted.

the quadruped stance isn't as supported as it was two and a half years ago when the paper first came out. We're still not entirely sure but it's unlikely the front limbs could have been built to bear weight because Theropod limbs are NOT designed to do so.

>>51193428
It's generally agreed upon that they were or something similar, for the carnivores especially.

I believe if Giraffatitan was cold blooded, it would take over a hundred years to grow to full size.

>>51192905
As far as the scientific community is concerned all theropods (the group T-rex, raptors and other bipedal dinosaurs belong to) had a feather-like hair whose length depends on whether they were used for body heat regulation or gliding through the air (basically only the smaller species developed it as full on feathers while T-Dex and co looked fluffy).

I'm not sure you understand how big of an advantage being able to firmly grip objects actually is.

Yes there is, the near complete nano-tyrannus skin impressions which show no feathers. Unfortunately it's in a private collection, and so we can only go off of the word of the few researchers who've studied it like peter larson.
There's also the fact that we've known about T rex for 130 years, have found tons of skin samples and yet not one example of feathers.
Or that there are no examples of tyrannosaurids with feathers.

There is absolutely no evidence T-rex had feathers, and plenty of evidence it didn't.
Feathered T-rex is a baseless meme that needs to die.

This is bait. I'm not going to even go into the Nanotyrannus argument or that Peter Larson is a gigantic asshole who has continuously tried to put money ahead of actual study. Bastard tried to sell Sue to a private collection and only failed because the entire city got in on selling it to the museum, and he later sold the Dueling Dinosaurs so we'll never know for sure what they are.

Also, as far as skin samples go, the ONLY skin sample we are *positive* came from T.rex is this tiny smidgen that is pic related. And it's likely on the underside of the tail, where we figured it would have bare skin. (SKIN mind you, not scales.)

There's no evidence that large Tyrannosaurids ever lost the feathers they once had, and given Nanuqsaurus (who is very closely related mind you) almost CERTAINLY had feathers given the climate it lived in, to deny that T.rex had any sort of plumage is silly.

I hold nothing for other large Theropods. I think it's fairly well understood now that Allosaurus and its descendants did not have feathers.

It still bugs me they for some reason made the Liopleurodon this ridiculously huge uber-pliosaur, when in actuality it was somewhat over medium-sized. Size estimated based on largest remains found would put their upper length at 7.5 meters. Even the largely unsupported claims of larger maximum size fall far short of the 25 meters in the document (they only bring it up to the same size as Kronosaurus, which is roughly 10 meters).
Largest pliosaur known to date (a species of Pliosaurus itself) is estimated to be at most about 13 meters long which, while really huge, is still far less then the mega-Liopleurodon from WWD.
For most other parts the document was pretty accurate given the information available at the time, so I'm not sure why they went so widly off the mark with that one thing. It's not like a 10 meters long Kronosaurus wouldn't have already been a huge and impressive animal (that's bigger than any living marine predator short of an adult male spermwhale).

Misjudging pliosaurid sizes is kind of a recurring thing, though. Usually because people fail to realise just how huge the head is compared to the rest of the body (it's typically around 1/4th of the entire animal's length), which leads to the length of the body being often overestimated when working with incomplete remains (paleontologists have obviously gotten a lot better at it over time, so we're no longer getting estimates that are way off the mark such as the original Kronosaurus reconstruction, but even the recently discovered Pliosaurus funkei had its maximum size initially assume toe be 15 meters before being downgraded to about 13).

The Lio being 80 goddamn feet long was for dramatic purposes as far as I'm concerned, though there's some slight justification as it was stated to be over a hundred years old.

The biggest Mosasaurus hit about 60ft long at their maximum, and Shonisaurus about 70ft. In rather anti-climactic fashion the Sperm Whale is the largest predator ever, as we have jawbones from 80ft individuals from the pre-whaling era.

It is possible to have the effects of being warmblooded without actually being warmblooded.

>>51198454
Paleontologists aren't the ones putting feathers on everything, they found a fossil that clearly proved SOME dinosaurs had feathers. Then dipshit retards on the internet decided to flood deviant art and similar websites with cute fluffy dinosaurs.

What I really hate is idiots that don't understand the sheer time scale between specific dinosaur species.

More time passed between the different periods ( jurassic, cretaceous, etc.) than it took for modern day humans to evolve from simple apes.

I mean, for fucks sake, SO MUCH TIME PASSED THAT ALL OF THE SOLID LAND MASS SPLIT APART AND BECAME THEIR OWN CONTINENTS.

So yes, it is perfectly possible that trillions of different dinosaur species never had feathers at all. And then once they all went extinct the next ecosystem that replaced them started to evolve fluffy down. And then when those ones all went extinct, the ecosystem that replaced them evolved rudimentary feathers.

Don't forget, 99% of all species that have ever existed on planet earth are currently extinct. And the span of time that humans currently exist in is the equivalent of the period at the end of this post.

>>51199793
actualy, it's not just wwd that did the "Liopleurodon is fuckhuge" thing.

There's this really awesome documentary I watched on the various triceratops species, and how a few scientists were finding strong evidence (at the time) that many fossils which had been categorized as smaller sub/related species might actually have been young juveniles of the exact same species.

I mean, it makes perfect sense, goats, antelope, rhinos, none of those are born with a massive rack of horns. So why would triceratops hatch with a massive rack of horns? Of course they would gradually grow through out it's entire life until they finally become full sized when the triceratops is in the prime of it's adulthood.

But for the life of me I can not remember the name. And this sucks, because I remember watching it with my mom, and she has damn good taste in documentaries. She is actually where I get my love for them.

Confirmed for never having watched the actual movie.

It clearly states in the very first movie, hell it goes out of it's way to say it, that the dinosaur DNA was never complete, so they augmented it with amphibian DNA, to fill in the gaps.

This is why the dinosaurs were able to change their physical sex and start reproducing, despite the fact that they all hatched as females.

So no, those weren't true dinosaurs. They were genetically engineered hybrids.

Livyatan melvilli (a hypercarnivorous relative of the sperm whale that went extinct during the Miocene, along with the C. megalodon shark; the sperm whale is the only large marine predator to survive to modern day likely due to its highly specialized diet) may have been around the same size, although we've got so few remains that it's hard to say more than that it was similar to the sperm whale, but with teeth suited for killing large animals and was probably around the same size if not somewhat larger than what's considered average size for sperm whales today.
Possibly some of the largest Shonisaurus or Shastasaurus genuses may ahve reached that size as well, but it's hard to know for sure. They did come pretty close, certainly (incidentally, I find it kind of funny how unknown large ichtyosaurids are; they're pretty much always decipted in popular culture as the Jurassic equivalent of dolphins, but they also include the largest of all known Mesozoic marine reptiles, and even hypercarnivorous genuses the same size or larger than the the largest known pliosaurs and mosasaurs).

>>51199985
They are. Their head is effectively a highly evolved organic sonic blaster. A sperm whale can produce focused bursts of sound louder than a jet engine that would pulp the organs of a diver that got caught in the blast. They use it to kill or stun giant squids, whcih they hunt by diving to depth that are impossible for humans to reach all but the most specialized vehicles. They are also higly intelligent and social animals, and communicate in a way that has more in common with digital data transfer than what we'd consider normal method of speech.

>>51200034
>>51200034
Endothermic is the scientifc term for "warm-blooded". Small dinosaurs were almost certainly endothermic, since they by all accounts seemed to have very active lifestyles and we know that birds (which are specialized theropod dinosaurs) are endothermic. The big ones could have been mesothermic, which is effectively kind-of warmblooded but not quite. If the size of the animal is large enough, it loses and gains heat very slowly and doesn't need to be able to fully regulate its body heat to maintain near-constant temperature, just slighly alter it if it starts getting too hot or cold.

I've always wanted to run a prehistoric game with cavemen, shamans, dinosaurs and stone palaces and savage Germanic tribes

What.

Paleolithic tribes were mostly nomadic and consisted of 40 people at max. Houses weren't a thing until the mesolithicum and bigger settlements require agriculture, which was introduced in late mesolithicum / early neolithicum.


Saying the life of them was comfy is also quite the stretch. That depends on the time, place and resources of your tribe.

>>51202907
They always seem to underestimate ancient humans

>>51202907
The inhabitants of Tell Qaramel were already beginning with the domestication of plants and animals though. Among the findings were grinders for grain and bones of aurochs.

The near east had many kinds of domesticatable flora and fauna, like goats, pigs, lentils and beans. It's why it was dubbed the "fertile crescent".


Besides, it's still neolithic and not what OP wanted.

There are also tons of fossil mammals that we have no skin inpression of despite centuries of collecting and so based on that criteria we can't tell if they had hair or elephant-like skin. Heck, there is only one fossil skin impression of a Permian synapsid.

Skin and integument only rarely preserves in fossils, and oftentimes the hair or feathers themselves can be lost before the specimen is buried. Look at how often decomposing roadkill loses patches of hair.

I'm thinking of writing some homebrew about a "lost world" type theme (DnD 5th edition). Anybody got some ideas on what kind of stuff could be included, aside from stats for more dinosaurs?

>>51199607

>>51200285
it always bothered me that they used frogs rather than crocodiles which are far closer relitives

>>51206944
In the book they used "filler" DNA from all sorts of animals, whatever happened to fit. Frog DNA was the only thing that became plot relevant because some of the dinosaurs it was used on were able to change their sex due to some frogs being able to do that.

So apparently, the horn on Majungasaurus is not a horn at all, but rather an anchor for a large amount of spongy skin surrounding it's face. As Majungasaurus was the only large predator in Madagascar at the time, it's likely to protect it from other Majungasaurus.

We can see a similar thing happening with T.rex in North America, which supposedly has thick, hippo-like skin covering its snout.

You could fill a book on retarded-looking fish solely with failed reconstructions of Helicoprion. Good news is that paleontologists think they've finally figured out how the tooth-whorl worked. Then again, that's what they said every other time as well.

Well they got it right a few times from what I can tell. Supposedly it used its jaw to cut up squid or something.

>>51199793
It made for good sensationalist television. As I recall, in the books they try to justify it by saying that they've found fragments of some sort of sea creature that maaaybe came from a giant pliosaur, but that's it.

According to some paleontologists, the show's creators just asked them the absolute biggest size estimate they had at the time (20 m), and they added a bonus 5 m because why not.

>>51223334
Pliosaurs generally have a problem with being recostructed as too big. Kronosaurus for example has consistently shrunk since its initial discovery. I've seen older books give it sizes comparable to the WWD mega-Liopleurodon, but these days it's estimated to have been about 10 meters long.
It's because the skull seems to be preserved far better than the rest of the body, so often you're working with a good understanding of what the animal's head looked like and how big its jaws were, but veyr little information on the body. Early reconstructions often gave them proportions similar to, say, crocodiles, which resulted in ginormously huge sea monsters. In actuality, pliosaur proportions are a bit odd, in that their heads are ridiculously massive (1/4th or even 1/3rd of ther entire length). So in actuality you've got a medium-size (in terms of giant Mesozoic marine reptiles; large pliosaurs are still bigger than any modern marine predator except the sperm whale) marine reptile with a colossal set of jaws.

Pliosaurs are kind of weird, really. If you look at every other marine apex predator, from mosasaurs and ichtyosaurs to sharks and toothed whales, they all have the same basic body shape, namely a long body with a powerful tail that provides propulsion and fins that are used for lift and steering. Pliosaurs are an exception, though, having a short body and a stubby tail, with big flippers for propulsion. That kind of setup is not very energy-efficient or conductive to fast movement, though.

>>51193362
>>51193428
Once you get to the size of an elephant, getting rid of heat becomes harder than retaining it.
An active predator the size of a tyrannosaurus would be "warm blooded" just by virtue of the amount of active tissue that it had

>>51224525
Yeah, back in the day my children's dino books usually gave Kronosaurus' size as 17 m, and Liopleurodon as 12. So you can imagine, as a kid I was pretty astonished over WWD's even bigger portrayal.

Same goes for their 40 m long Diplodocus.

>>51196283
I don't know what system, but GURPS is great for exactly this.

So for those of you unaware, recently it was discovered a particularly large vertebrae of Supersaurus actually belonged to Barosaurus. Factoring in how gracile and long Barosaurus is, this upped the adult size of Barosaurus to a ridiculous 160ft long (slightly less than 49m for non-americans), and makes it the largest/longest Dinosaur ever known from existing material.

Thanks for the not getting assblasted at me for using the wrong terminology.

I was basing my post off of an article I had read ages ago about a species of shark (I believe it was the salmon shark?) that survives living in waters chaulk full of glaciers and hunts seals by pumping it's blood through a special system interconnected with it's gills. Basically the reverse of the way elephants pump their blood through their huge ears to keep cool.

So the shark more or less has all the effects of being warm blooded, and can hunt fast prey such as seals, without actually being warmblooded.

>>51207043
Is that even true IRL? Or did they just make that up about frogs because nobody wants to watch a movie about hermaphrodite hybrids genetically engineered from dinosaurs and oysters.

What the hell would a dinosaur with all of it's reproductive genes swapped out for an oyster even look like?

>>51214338
In the same way that a musk ox has a thick padding of spongy flesh underneath it's horns so it doesn't receive permanent brain damage from ramming other musk ox?

>>51230840
Yes, some frogs do change gender depending on the gender ratios. If most of the females die, the males will become female.
It happens with some species of grouper, too.

If somebody makes a new dino thread tomorrow, I can post the next story if I have time.

Did snakes exist during any of the dinosaur periods? Or did they only evolve after the dinosaurs went extinct/evolved into birds?

I know proto mammalian creatures existed during the era of dinosaurs, but they were all bald creatures that lived in underground burrows, more akin to naked mole rats.

Weren't they?

>>51229268
>taking your shit out on defenseless babies/eggs

Those fucking niggers.

>>51232213
I want to say that proto-mammals may have had fur or fuzz already. I think there have been finds confirming this but I'm no expert.
