here's a way ordinary people can grasp it better involving the exact cruising altitude of a 747 which as you all know wait no we don't

(tbf when he stops talking abt 747s it is bogglingly graspable)

"Set in one gloomy afternoon at the end of the Cretaceous, the hatchling Poharex is watched by the loving eyes of his mother. Meanwhile, his father, the king, watches in terror as the wheels of a great prophecy set in motion, and the greatest trial for his family and his kind looms ahead."

And I never will forget the day we met
Dinosaurs I'm gonna miss you
