most big herbivores are, frankly. if you have a pretty steady supply of food and don’t have to worry about missing a hunt and starving to death, you can afford to throw your weight around more and generally be more aggressive!

that’s why the most dangerous big animals in the world are almost all herbivores.

this is also why walking right up to these things in Jurassic Park would have been a fantastically bad idea

Sauropods would be fucking TERRIFYING and it annoys the hell out of me that media constantly portrays them as passive and harmless. That Indominus from Jurassic World would have been SLAUGHTERED against an Apatosaurus, let alone a whole HERD of them

Sauropods in general were recently discovered to have spikes (think like an iguana) and possibly bony clubs on their tails, which they could possibly whip at supersonic speeds. Apatosaurus was even more fucked up than an average sauropod, having an incredibly thick neck that it probably used to fight like giraffes do, and hooked spines lining the underside to make the blows do even more damage. If that fake-ass albino hybrid motherfucker from JW tried to take out a herd of real Apatosaurus is would’ve been absolutely ripped apart, bulletproof armor or no

Some scientists think that diplodocids like apatosaurus could whip their tails so fast that it’d create a sonic boom capable of straight-up killing a human from the sound alone at point-blank range.

Nature is beautiful
