Two of a kind?

Post by Key-J »

We all know the huge and mighty king of all dinosaurs, the most ferocious, meat eating killer of the dinosaur world. The Tyrannosaurus Rex, more commonly known as the T-Rex.

We also know that lovable, small cute and cuddly giver of food. The Chicken.
Image

Two popular an unique animals, both completely different in nature… or so we thought. As recent findings have shown that there is likely possiblity that the chicken is a descendant of the T-Rex.

BBC News wrote:Protein extracted from 68 million-year-old T. rex bones has shed new light on the evolutionary link between dinosaurs and birds.

Researchers compared organic molecules preserved in the T. rex fossils with those of living animals, and found they were similar to chicken protein.


Well, thats conforting isnt it? Even if the resemblence might not be immediatly obviouse. It's there...

So just think, if you have a pet chickent. Thats Billions of years of preditoral history, locked away in the DNA of this little bird... Which could be released at any time....

China is in trouble if a new virus makes chickens evolve back to dinosaurs :roll:
Anyway, that is true cos birds evolved from them scaly creatures, and we used to be fish.

Human DNA is more than a 99% match for a dog's DNA. It's all relative. Pun intended.

I watched a program about Velociraptors. They only stood to about 2ft tall, not like in Jurassic Park where they stood to about 6ft tall..

Both are old news, the feathers and the birds. However, if I remember correctly, the widespread featherage only came before or after the period of the "typical" dinosaur, so the pictures we see are somewhat accurate.

you sure there raptors..and wikipedia?? lol not reliable at all also even in
that it says that there 2ft tall at the hip. i mean am 3ft tall at my
hip, doesnt mean thats my height :roll:. Also the person who posted
that up posted a pic of a Sinornithosaurus (a small feathered dinosaur)

seriously anyone can make a section on wiki...its about as reliable a
academic source as giving your baby to micheal jackson, while hes standing
on a balcony and telling him to look after it :roll:

Yeah read what I said... I watched a program about Velociraptors on TV.. And basically they made them 6ft tall in Jurrasic park to make them look scary. It wouldn't look fun if they had a 2-3ft tall dinosaur running around..

but there not 2tf tall...only 2ft at their hip height which is what it says
in that link....but then goes on to contridict itself :roll:

whats happend is that the person who copyed and pasted this stuff from
other source coundlt read or understand the "2ft tall at hip" and so
just went a got a pic of a small dinosaur....this is one of the reason
why wikipedia is a joke and only fools think its reliable..i mean so what
if its the first result in a search?? i mean whats wrong with encharter
or britannic? :? .

and in Jurrasic park their not 6ft tall, their acutally small compared to
the humans...maybe only 4 to 4.5ft tall when crouched over. But in truth
from what i can find the size varis from 3ft at the hips to 4ft. people dont
realise that "at the hips" means the animals hips...as most bipedal
dinosurs hips were normally only a few feet lower then there overall
height.
Also i mean look at the T-Rex, only 5 know full skelotons and each
one has a different height
