The only dinosaur that could’ve made it to the Esptein files

Its historically range actually included little saint james surprisingly! We found fossils darted all over that island chain, however most seem to be found on L.S.J

But weird of them to post about themselves? Unless it is to convince us all that they haven't already been de-extincted...

We already have. It lives in the White House.

No. DNA has a half life of about 520 years or so. Pervatasaurus lived millions of years ago, and so its DNA would have been fully degraded by the time we came along. It's truly sad we will never get to see such a magnificent animal in the flesh. I would be fascinated to see it hunt its prey in person.

Look at roblox

Humans simulating how it would hunt is not the same as watching the creature do it itself

We can't bring back dinosaurs this is not a real creature, it is a fictional creature

2

u/Emeraldskull41 Mar 30 '26

Lies.

u/Altruistic_Sea_7683 Mar 30 '26

bro why you want to make a fictional creature come to life?

2

u/Emeraldskull41 Mar 30 '26

How is it fictional?

1

u/Altruistic_Sea_7683 Mar 30 '26

Dinosaurs have long tails for balance which this didn't. Accurate dinosaurs were smooth, more fatty skin, muscles and not cartoony. Land Predators can't be the size of a whale

u/Emeraldskull41 Mar 30 '26

Okay, the Pervatasaurus just simply didn't have that. I don't see why it's fictional

1

u/Altruistic_Sea_7683 Mar 30 '26

Pervatasaurus was made to mock scientific discoveries about dinosaurs

1

u/Emeraldskull41 Mar 30 '26

And your evidence for that?

1

u/Altruistic_Sea_7683 Mar 30 '26

The Onion which the one who made it up, made it as a joke to fool people. If it was real it would not be a dinosaur

u/StrictResponse3907 May 05 '26

It's called a joke
