It’s a common Brazilian joke when people get bird shit on their head to say “hey, be thankful cows don’t fly”…
There was one time that one didn’t have even that.

It’s a common Brazilian joke when people get bird shit on their head to say “hey, be thankful cows don’t fly”…

My uncle always used to say a silly little poem:
Birdie, birdie, in the sky
Laid a white one in my eye
I don’t laugh, I don’t cry
I’m just glad that cows don’t fly
i’ve always heard it like “god wasn’t crazy to make snakes fly”
I dunno how relevant anything is, but always remember that there exists a kind of snake that does fly.
what are those
quetzalcoatlus northropi!
or sky giraffes, either/or.
Mega pterodactyl
Their skeletons are fucking spooky to see in real life. Imagine what it felt like when they took off. They’d fucking run too.
Dinosaurs are cool
Dinosaurs are cool
Even though they lived alongside each other, pterosaurs weren’t dinosaurs
Irl claw game. But you’re the snack
Predatory giraffes
Quetzalcoatlus northropi is the scariest dinosaur I’ve ever seen.
I can only imagine what those huge beaks were for. Like diving from the sky at some prey, simply punching it straight through it like a huge spear.
Not a dinosaur, but yes
Beak things
I too experienced Kenshi flashbacks from this meme.
what are those???
That’s predatory flying giraffes to you!
My dream pet. I’ve always wanted one of these. If I ever finish my game I’m going to make it a pet you can get and rid on.
There’s an animatronic one of these at my local zoo. It’s absurd.

Even though their size is insane, they probably weighed like 200-250 kg, meaning they were pretty light.
I’d rather fight one of these than any sort of land based raptor.
