Yeah, I think it is because, yeah, these guys, the Carcharodontosaurs, they're much more cutting and they're really killing stuff probably by grappling with the arms because they do have big muscular arms with big claws and then slashing away at stuff.
So I think they're probably doing something more like, almost like wolves or hyena or hunting dog where they're harrying stuff
and slashing at it and you're basically bleeding them out and wearing them down.
very fast bite so it's very simple mechanics you know if you have a very long jaw you're going to close faster but with less power at the tip than if you have a really short one that's deep and so that really is it um but yeah let's say there's there's things like yayar means and then there's things like yeah velociraptor and a lot of its relatives really very and not just small but you know narrow it is narrow snouted there's not going to be a lot of fundamental strength here
The teeth, very numerous, very small.
So they're much more about grabbing something tiny.
Velociraptors eating rat-sized stuff, that's going to be probably its primary diet.
They're going to struggle, though.
I remember doing some work for one documentary, and they literally wanted Velociraptor fighting a T-Rex.
And I said, like, you do know this is like, we're going to shoot some meerkats killing a lion.
And it's like, well, you can film it, but no one would believe it because, you know, these ankle-high things trying to, like, savage a shinbone.
Yeah, I'm sure they'll make some holes and it'll lose some blood and it may not be very happy, but it's...
I don't think they're going to win.
Oh, enormously.
I mean, they get a bit bigger than this in terms of the skull.
But yeah, they're kind of thigh high to me, like a meter or so to the top of the head, two meters long.
Whereas in the movies, they're like standing taller than guys who are six foot.
So it's just,
massively massively scaled up and then these kind of big kind of domey heads then they're not the really long narrow snout maybe we could take that tangent what does Jurassic Park and Jurassic World franchise get right and wrong
I mean, get wrong a hell of a lot.
