I mean, so this is a Velociraptor skull.
There are some carnivores that are a bit bigger than this, but not enormously so, which we're knocking around as T-Rex.
The skull's the same time tooth crack.
Right, but you think about that, and that's like going...
That's like going to Africa and going, okay, there are lions.
What's the next biggest predator?
And it's like, well, there's a weasel about this big.
Like it's that kind of size difference.
And you don't get that normally in ecosystems.
So it didn't have some of the other big dinosaurs around it?
Not carnivores.
There's huge herbivores, but there's no huge carnivores around.
Oh, yeah.
It's going to be eating Triceratops, Nedmontosaurus, and Parasaurolophus.
There's even a couple of giant sauropods knocking around in some places.
It's going to be hoovering them up, but how often is it going to eat
Again, Velociraptor isn't there, but how often is it going to eat something the size of an adult Velociraptor?
I mean, they're a fraction of our size and we're probably too small.
This is like lions hunting mice.
