Not my meme

Usually when social media protrays dinosaurs as colossal, savage brutes it dissappoints me. Dinosaurs may have had vibrant colours, membranes, did intricate dances for mates or had incredible features, like frills or webbed limbs. The fact we judge them entirely off their skeletons is unjustified, if we did that with modern animals, swans would be horrible beasts that stalked wetlands, impaling prey on their long forelimbs. Elephants would be strange beasts with no defining trunk or ears and instead a slimmer reptilian body shape and long tusks with crushing teeth.

When jurassic Park does it, however, it actually makes sense. In the first films, the scientists on isla nublar would have structured the Dino dna based off their interpretation of Dinosaurs at the time, which was large savage beasts with no feathers.

The animalistic behaviours of dinosaurs allow us to conclude that while dinosaurs may have occasionally gone on rampages, which is not uncommon for animals, for the most part they would have behaved like wild animals, running away at the slightest noise, or contrarily, forced the oppressor off their territory. Nonetheless, much like sharks today, certain carnivorous archosaurs may have ripped chunks out of humans just to know what they taste like and then leaving the person to be. I believe that dinosaurs would have behaved similarly to modern day animals, although with a more prominent lack of intelligence, although we must remember that the brutality of nature is not nonexistent within the prehistoric era. Still, a more peaceful portrayal of the Mesozoic would always go well in my book.

"A more prominent lack of intelligence"

My good man, velociraptors were smart enough to open doors and use tools, tyrannosaurus rex had an incredibly large brain relative to its body size and oviraptors were intelligent enough to behave like modern day wolves, hunting in packs to steal eggs.

Dinosaurs are the ancestors of birds, which have shown incredible intelligence compared to other animals. Adult crows remember every face they see, hold grudges, and use and build tools. Dinosaurs were most likely NOT stupid beasts.

Dinosaurs were not idiots, but modern day animals are wildly intelligent, especially when compared to prehistoric creatures. Not to say that they would be incapable of preparing a planned attack or something along those lines, but they simply wouldn't be capable of reaching the same elaborate moves since prehistoric animals did not feel the need to prioritize intelligence. Although some carnivores would be able to do so, many types of herbivores weren't very intelligent. Raptors may have been smart enough to open doors given time, but it's actually impossible due to their inward facing wrists. T rex was actually pretty smart and may have used stuff like sticks to disguise itself, and although Oviraptor was smart for the time, it did not, in fact, eat eggs. Still, all the dinosaurs you named were intelligent and would have been able to pull off more elaborate stunts than their cousins, so props to you.

bro put in maximum effort and taught me some new things

Mad respect

No prob

Why is this better than my school essay
