        Most pictures they look awfully goofy, this one you can tell that they are dinosaurs.

        Edit to add:

        This was a part of the sequel to Labyrinth that was never made and you can’t convince me otherwise.

    Every dinosaur bird is like:

    Here is a badass apex predator that is perfectly adapted to its environment; it is going extinct because it won’t stop killing its own kind for fun.

    That’s around 3.6 meters.
