    Hate to be that guy and ruin everyone’s fun but this is science memes, dinosaurs like that would not have there head up like that. They rarely raised there head above there shoulders.

    According to Kent Stevens, computer-modeled reconstructions of the skeletons made from the vertebrae indicate that sauropod necks were capable of sweeping out large feeding areas without needing to move their bodies, but were unable to be retracted to a position much above the shoulders for exploring the area or reaching higher.

    Yeah, that classic image of tall sauropods 🦕 is probably wrong. Also like someone else mentioned they wouldve probably lowered there head anyway to vomit.

      I’m impressed that you managed to misspell “their” every time there. The only correct spelling was in the quoted text.

        So I went and stalked them. They largely ignore that ‘their’ exists, which is amazing, since their texts are otherwise near-perfect English.

        A few examples of their using ‘their’: 1

        [F]or the police to chase their had to be a reasonable suspicion […]

        2

        Their approval among there base of shias has only gone up since the conflict started

        3

        […] let people know about their bias […]

      Actually, the science does not seem to be settled, with there being controversy about the specific neck posture.

      Same thing with giraffes.

        When they’re not intentionally bending down to reach something low down like a water hole, they look like this:

        Are you talking about puking or just how they hold themselves? Because if it’s the later, have you ever been to a zoo? They clearly walk around with their necks held at like a 60-45 degree angle up from their spine. We can look up pictures of this in modern day too.

        Giraffes literally have a rubber-like band tht keeps their head vertical at rest.

        So yes, they do.

          Let me guess, next you’re gonna claim the Egyptians already invented rubber bands to keep their brachiosaurs upright? Not falling for it.

        Seeing how both us and birds can vomit, probably. I imagine that developed very early. If you eat something harmful, you’re dead if you can’t vomit. If you don’t have the brainpower to identify safe and harmful things, you’re pretty screwed.

            Horses are probably the single most fucked up animal on the planet, with maybe the sole exception of Przewaski’s horse. Seriously we fucked them up so badly, like im pretty sure if every dog was a badly fucked up as horses they would be a hybrid of American bulldogs, Bull terriers, and chihuahuas.

            This is to say never use a horse as a barometer for anything when it comes to standard functions.
