they are reptiles, so when i am cold, they are slow
Woke up and chose violence this morning, so here goes:
Akshully, the Jurassic Park creatures are not reptiles for a number of reasons.
-
Reptile is paraphyletic and arbitrarily groups species regardless of their lineage.
-
T. Rex was likely warmblooded as its descendants are.
-
The creatures are not entirely dinosaurs. They’re hybrids of dinosaurs, and modern animals that the Jurassic Park scientists believed were most similar genetically.
Anyway, thanks for commenting, and I hope I’ve conveyed an appreciative and respectful tone. I sincerely just like sharing, learning, and discussing things.
Also, fight me.
don’t wanna fight, but i do want some clarification:
were they actually warm blooded, or that pseudo warm blooded thing some reptiles and fish do where they aren’t exactly warm ir cold blooded, but kinda in-between?
dinosaurs were all kinds of -blooded, but t-rex was probably fully warm blooded, like birds. Other, especially “older” ones were cold blooded.
thank you, that’s exactly what i wanted to know!
Thanks for adding perspective on this. I agree that it’s a much more diverse situation than just giant lizards running around. To add to this, I think it’s also likely that other theroppds were also warm-blooded in addition to T. Rex.
