Is that book shaming the T-Rex for not noticing that it's about to die?

there are more pages from the book at that link, it takes an attitude to the dinosaurs' extinction that I can only describe as 'gleeful'

thread keeps on delivering. that text JM posted is wild!

T-Rex has the right idea. keep eating. go with what you know.

I think I prefer the pictures where the dinosaurs are all like "oh shit WTF"

Lilo and Stitch teaches children that “family means no one gets left behind”. This book teaches kids that this rule simply cannot apply in an apocalyptic situation which is an important exception for kindergarteners to become aware of.

book at link looks great BUT usual pro-mammal erasure lies are promulgated:

a: big lizardy dinosaurs likely took several thousand years to die off
b: many dinosaurs aka BIRDS survive to this day perhaps by eating RATS

no meteors in pix of feathered tyrannosaurs, i call shenanigans

mark s, Friday, 19 May 2017 13:41 (nine years ago)

I am genuinely quite surprised by how many different pictures there are.

xxp the dinosaurs died of meteor-induced trypophobia

pinefox i suspect we have not scratched the surface: this is just eng-lang google searches (and some japanese)

If that meteor had come just half a minute later, it would have hit somewhere in either the Atlantic or Pacific. Either location would have made some killer waves (literally), but at least it wouldn’t have killed as many dinos.

I don't think this one's appeared yet

kind of a "Houses of the Holy" vibe to it imo

sorry you feel that way. imho CGI stock images have an eerie, hyperreal quality that perfectly suits the subject matter

For sheer verisimilitude, I prefer the photos taken at the time. Unfortunately the resolution tends to be poor because camera technology was very rudimentary.

What were the dominant theories of dino extinction before the asteroid version took hold? Apparently it was first posited in the 50s but hard evidence didn't turn up til 1980? It's what I grew up with... just was wondering if generic dino picture books from 1955 (with, one imagines, great hand-painted illustrations) would have gone with the meteor or something more boring.

inspired by my parents recent unironic trip to the creation museum, where apparently this (minus the poster) is a real exhibit
