Dinosaur 🦖 of the Month: Heterodontosaurus

1  2018-10-04 by Cdace

Heterodontosaurus ("different-teeth-lizard") was one of the earliest ornithischian dinosaurs. Most reptiles have teeth of similar size and function but, heterodontosaurus has teeth that are the reptile equivalent of inbred Alabama trucker. This lightly built, bipedal dinosaur was collected in 1966 from the 200 million year old Lower Jurassic Upper Red Beds, Stronberg series, on the northern slopes of the Krommerspruit Mountain near Voisana, Republic of South Africa. It is in the family Heterodontosauridae.

Study of the skull has suggested that Heterodontosaurus had the capacity for biting, tearing, and grinding with its three kinds of teeth. It is believed to be either herbivorous or omnivorous. Heterodontosaurus may have had a cheek area to store food (and dip), the way some mammals and truckers do.

It was around 1 m in length. It lived around Hettangian, Early Jurassic ~198 mya and is the only ornithischian with fangs. Paleontologists have long considered it one of the most primitive ornithischians (which may further explain its relationship with Alabama redneck truckers).

Dinolet

Tiny Dino 🦖 will still help devour humanity

It's over for Dinocels 😭😭😭

If you're like 0.5m trying to compete with mammals who can regulate their own temperature, then it pretty much never even began. 😔

Aw, small enough to be a pet then.

Humans aren’t even worthy of being pets of dinosaurs 🦖. Humanity will be no more than cattle to fuel the superior species

They’d keep me as cute human pet and munch the rest. Plus I’m not fat enough to be considered as even a Dino snack.

thinking dinosaurs 🦖 wont eat you

Your are voreable

OwO

You’re voreable

daddy pls say that to me while u pull my hair daddy and grope my bussy

What are your thoughts on the inevitable human-Dino cross breeding?

My one thought is “hawt”

Seems to me that we turned the "superior species" into fuel for ourselves

Prehistoric plankton aren’t dinosaurs 🦖

I never read these but I always up voat them because I think education is important

Educate yourself while promoting education for others. You should know about what your flesh will fuel

I'm still not convinced dino bones weren't buried by the Jews 2500 years ago to make the Christians look bad

The Jews are lizardpeople which are subservient to dinosaurs 🦖

when is gay diniosaur months

Gayosaurus, like the incelosaurus, is one of the few actually extinct dinosaurs 🦖 for reasons unknown to us today

Incels, MGTOW or their similar offshoots ultimately culminate in one thing only: self-induced extinction. And that's a beautiful thing.

Is it true that H-dont would regularly get mad at fbinosauruses for doing its damn job?

Nah it gets mad at undocumentus illegalsaurus

Why no homodontosaurus?

Gay erasure.

It's Hetero-don[']t-osaurus, pretty sure that's latin for gay lizard.

Stfu faggot

Lmao everyone knows these feathery looking ass nibbas aren’t real dinos

Lol pretty zany cast of characters we got here huh

I don't know why the image is so goddamn funny but it is.

Will the dinopocalypse be televised?

It already was. Haven't you seen the dinosaurs tv show? It ended with them going extinct

I missed the episode of Dinosaur Train where they met a Heterodontosaurus. Outside of that, you are my only other source for real dino news.

WTF?! This is a no hetero safe space cdace!!!

marry me

Comet Your Self

He is also barely one meter long, which is probably why he was called hetero-dontosaurus, as hetero men length and girth is always disappointing.

Allah will smite you kaffirs who spread the word of the wretched devil-lizards! 🕌🕋
