Hate to be that guy and ruin everyone’s fun but this is science memes, dinosaurs like that would not have there head up like that. They rarely raised there head above there shoulders.
Yeah, that classic image of tall sauropods 🦕 is probably wrong. Also like someone else mentioned they wouldve probably lowered there head anyway to vomit.
I’m impressed that you managed to misspell “their” every time there.
Like, I want to up vote the fact checking, but I want to down vote the careless grammar. I’m so torn.
+1 for consistency.
So I went and stalked them. They don’t know ‘their’ exists, which is amazing, since their texts are otherwise near-perfect English.
This and are we all ok with the vomit containing Dino Bones?
Actually, the science does not seem to be settled, with there being controversy about the specific neck posture.
Sauropod neck posture - Wikipedia - en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sauropod_neck_posture
Same thing with giraffes. It’s a huge misconception of unrealistic biomechanics.
Are you talking about puking or just how they hold themselves? Because if it’s the later, have you ever been to a zoo? They clearly walk around with their necks held at like a 60-45 degree angle up from their spine. We can look up pictures of this in modern day too.
Giraffes literally have a rubber-like band tht keeps their head vertical at rest.
So yes, they do.
Do we even know if they were capable of vomiting?
Seeing how both us and birds can vomit, probably. I imagine that developed very early. If you eat something harmful, you’re dead if you can’t vomit. If you don’t have the brainpower to identify safe and harmful things, you’re pretty screwed.
Some things you just don’t want to be remembered by history for.
“Puke crater” alone describes the magnitude.
Try explaining that one after death.
“How’d you die? I got eaten by a T-Rex!”
“I, um well, I…I was going for a walk to find food and I know following this big guy who never eats the lower stuff is great, he cant reach it and the bugs that fall off the trees hes eating are great! As I was munching on a fleeing bug, the big guy burps and I looked up to see him puke. No matter how fast I tried to scurry away the goo was too much and it squished me flat”
“Oh, I’m sorry to hear that, hopefully you have better luck on this side”
This reminds me of a similar paper - “pressures produced when penguins poo”
Heeey, now I don’t feel so bad about my University days, thanks!
Why have I had to wait two and a half years to receive this important information?
Needs more jpeg.
Ok sure. But how many keg stands would they do before vomiting?
Contemporary kegs or dinosaur kegs?
Police investigators are on the scene dusting for regurgitant.
Now I have to know: Do we have fossilized dinosaur puke? I know we have fossilized dung. Or could they not puke like horses.
Yes. You can Google the details yourself.

Why wouldn’t they lower their head to vomit? Everything does…

Perhaps through the evidence of a crater, and it’s depth in the type of ground in which it was found, is enough for scientists to determine these creatures actually threw up fully erect, not unlike the night I lost my virginity.

Or it threw up over the ledge; a lot of animals puke over the edge of something

I elongate my neck when I puke, like a turtle. Not sure about you. I do however bend over by the waist/hips.
