I worked in a nature reserve, a couple times we needed emergency treatment for ostriches, and our vet said wrestling an ostrich to its knees was safer for the ostrich than using sedatives…
I’m not sure if its true, but when I was 18 years old, it was the highlight of my life
I went to Australia and went with a tour group and the bus stopped. All of the cars were stopped on the road for some reason. The tour guide said “nobody get out of the vehicle!” Then I saw a velociraptor with a couple of baby velociraptors just walking down the side of the road.
I think they call them cassowaries, but if you see how they move, those things are goddamn velociraptors.
Akshually, modern birds are descended from dinosaurs, effectively making them dinosaurs themselves. So humans did, and still do, live with dinosaurs.
Little birds are so cute, until you watch them hunting for prey and imagine yourself at that scale.
Watched a chicken jumpkick a rat and the rat bleed to death. We are lucky the world isn’t full of cassowary.
I mean it’s not hollowed out and literally filled with them, but we do have SOME cassowaries.
Preach! And it’s not even “effectively,” birds are dinosaurs—full stop. They are avian dinosaurs.
I suppose someone small enough could ride an emu thus be riding a dinosaur! Thank you for that thought.
people ride ostriches, I did that for work a few times. fun
Ostrich rodeo? Rancher? Member of Jackass?

finally a version of this meme that makes proper sense, those two letters make all the difference
technically “lived with dinosaurs” is still true.

Not only that, but some countries are fully governed by dinosaurs. Ask me how I know…
And only 41% believe it!
I suspect many survey respondents were right for the wrong reason, or vice-versa. I have two dinosaurs in my house right now.
This and also Nessy
And once you’re done telling everyone a tomato is a fruit, the rest of us still aren’t going to put it in a fruit salad.
Don’t be pedantic, you know what they meant.
being a fruit isn’t an indicator about what to do with it. are you putting cucumbers in fruit salads too?
god forbid you put a strawberry in the fruit salad, because that isn’t a fruit.
you’re the one being pedantic. birds are all dinosaurs, that is a scientific consensus.
that doesn’t mean that a pigeon will be the next monster in Jurassic world 8. but there are all dinosaurs.
same way humans are also primates and mammals and animals…
