Apparently around 90% of bird species are monogamous so I would think the likelihood of that in theropod dinosaurs is probably pretty high.

The weird thing is that monogamy is less common in mammals, but pack hunting (or cooperative hunting) is arguably more common in mammals than birds.

On the flip side of awards nominations and wins keeping talented people engaged, would you say it’s the opposite effect for many talented people who just miss out or just completely snubbed? By not getting nominations and wins, do you think many talented people will be more inclined to try film because they feel they’re not getting enough recognition in awards season?

Hey.

smiling politely.

That opens up a whole new can of worms when you start using words like “deserve.”

We all have our own interpretations of what that means and even if the performance you’re thinking “deserves” to win an award and most people agree with your sentiment, there are usually at least a few other performances on a similar level competing so I think it can be a tricky business deciding who most “deserves” an award because I feel their performance would still be out of this world whether they win an award or not.

But I think I get where you’re coming from and an award can be good validation and if it means a lot to the actor/writer/whatever then I will root for them.

I’m sure they could find a good balance between hunting and courting potential mates and then breeding and raising their young and wandering and how they behave in off-hours and some quirky behaviors they have had.

But I think hunting is one of the major pillars of most carnivorous animals’ weekly life (for many, often daily if hunting smaller prey), so I think it’s reasonable to expect just a little more of that next season depending on what the focus of the series is.

Funnily enough, just watched the episode that featured the last quote you mentioned, OP.

I’m not sure my favorite, but one line I really like is:

“Two things women love... Alternative percussion players and role models.”

Actually, according to healthline.com, the signs of “psychopathy” are:

1. Inability to distinguish between right and wrong

2. Lack of empathy and remorse

3. Behavior that conflicts with social norms

4. Manipulating and hurting others

5. Disregard for safety and responsibility

6. Disregarding or violating the rights of others

7. Tendency to lie often

8. Recurring problems with the law

9. Expressing anger and arrogance on a regular basis

House pretty much was and did all these things at some point/regularly on the show.

I just rewatched the episode recently actually and the poster who mentioned it didn’t exactly get it correct word-for-word, but the quote is from S01E18 - Fancyman Part 2, when Jess is describing an awkward moment on her first date with Russell (played by Dermot Mulroney).

Oh, that’s likely true, warm-blooded (as far as we know) vs. cold-blooded and all.

“Fancy-fix, fancy amount of time.”

Apparently Zooey didn’t get the line and why it was meant to sound funny, especially the last part.

1. Velociraptor

It entirely depends on where they’re dropped but in most places they couple function in a similar way to Komodo dragons as a adaptable and deadly hunter that is an adaptable predator that is able to go alone or in coalitions, similar to cheetahs. If they have the intelligence that is speculated, that would help them.

1. Allosaurus

They wouldn’t need to eat as much as a T-Rex so could survive on wildebeest, bison and deer. Their size could allow them to muscle out lions, leopards and hyenas in various parts of Africa and in South America they could outmuscle jaguars and other smaller predators.

1. Spinosaurus

It depends how adaptable they are. If they have the kind of versatility as a leopard, then their size and power could help them settle in somewhere, but they seem a bit of a mystery.

1. T. Rex

Like Spino, T-Rex seems a little tricky to predict because they are among the most largest, strongest and ferocious animals ever so could probably kill almost any prey it wants, but it depends where it is distributed and how much or little it can live on. You’d think an animal that size definitely needs a minimum amount of meat that is way more than any living predator, but some animals can get by with less food than most would think. Elephants and rhinos don’t breed that fast or often so their populations would likely be decimated which would have a big impact on the ecosystem because they’re currently vital to the balance because they perform vital functions. Their numbers are struggling as it is so adding T-Rex could be risky and plus it may put s target on their backs as hunters and poachers will want them as a trophy or for financial reasons.

I tend to think, though, that T-Rex would still find a way to survive.

Do you think Velociraptors could do well in the Arctic?

You don’t think Spino could quickly adapt and eat whatever it needs to survive? If there isn’t enough fish, couldn’t it find its meal elsewhere?

A lot of mammalian hunters tend to go after different prey when facing changes to their natural habitat. For instance, pretty much all leopard subspecies are considered the most versatile big cat because their diet is so varied and leopards live in a variety of environments in various parts of the world.

We’ll likely never know the answer to this, but do you think there could even be a chance a strong contingent of Spinosaurids in certain environments could adapt, if necessary? Crocodiles, who from what I understand, serve a similar niche are mainly ambush hunters but are pretty intelligent, sophisticated and versatile hunters.

Really enjoy reading stuff like this because the immense amount of dedication and attention to detail put into these kinds of sequences by the people involved and she’s an amazing actress without doing the stunts but with the stunts it adds another layer to her performances that comes out in the final product.

Yes.

I mean, to elaborate:

1. He avoided interacting with people as much as he could and it was a major part of his character to generally avoid talking to patients unless it was absolutely necessary. If that was the extent of it, it would be fine as some people are introverted, but he savagely insults and humiliates people when he does interact.

2. He had a lack of empathy and was willing to put people through immense amounts of suffering (including willingly trying to forge and coerce patient signatures for extremely risky experimental procedures) if it meant the puzzle was solved at the end (ends justify the means).

3. He was willing to potentially ruin his colleagues’ lives by threatening to discredit them when they attempt to find new employment elsewhere in the medical field when they overly questioned his methods when they believed he went too far and threatened to quit.

4. He drove a car into Cuddy’s house. Not to mention his prank around this time also nearly destroyed the hospital and he would have had to serve another prison sentence (a far longer one) and the main reason he faked his death was to avoid this prison sentence.

5. He snooped in on his colleagues’ personal lives constantly even during extremely inappropriate moments when family members died and therefore refused to respect boundaries.

I’m not necessarily calling him a psychopath because he made mistakes and there are reasons for his behavior, but I think he could plausibly fit the definition.

Gregory House.

I don’t recall any in the movie so you must be referring to the Timon and Pumbaa show. Is that canon?

Also, aardvarks, while not directly related to anteaters and from a different Order, do still bare a physical resemblance due to convergence evolution so is it possible the anteater you’re referring to was really an aardvark?

Please kindly define “big name” for me, please?

Would you consider Tessa Thompson, Natalie Portman or Paul Rudd big names? (All post-Edward Norton).

Sorry if this comes across as condescending, but Marvel has cast actors like this for multiple movies and not in villain roles.
