what we can learn from dinosaurs

I’m always on the lookout for news about dinosaurs. Scientists have now determined that among many theropods, a group which includes T. Rex and Velociraptor, fathers were in all likelihood the sole caregivers for their young. For the evidence, see “The age of Paterfamilias rex.” So, it turns out that the most ferocious, badass creatures ever to walk the face of the earth were doting dads.

All those absent fathers who somehow think that being tough and macho consists of fathering children and then abandoning them obviously haven't considered these grim killer dinosaurs.

Ah, so it wasn't an asteroid but the mothers allowing the fathers to watch the kids that doomed the dinosaurs. Also "the most ferocious, badass creatures ever to walk the face of the earth" more like big chickens with teeth (Velociraptor).

That's "big badass chickens with teeth." You wouldn't want to run into one in some dark alley late at night.

Haha, come on, I would just drop kick that 30 pound velociraptor through the dark alley.
