I’m so sad Disney is getting rid of DinoLand USA!!😭 it’s been my favorite part of Animal Kingdom since I was a kid. I wonder what will happen to all the dinosaur statues, fossils, displays, etc.?👀 Especially the cast of Sue?

today was literally a dream come true and a bucket list museum of mine. I was literally on the verge of tears here and this was only the main lobby😭
So….are we just going to ignore simple geology here? There are plenty of places that offer the “average Joe” the opportunity to dig up dinosaurs. There are also numerous dinosaurs that have been found by “average” people.
Happy 30th anniversary to the movie that started my love for dinosaurs and inspired my pursuit of becoming a paleontologist. Happy birthday, Jurassic Park!🦖❤️
Hayley wore this same shirt here ten years ago for the self titled tour and I feel so cool matching with her ten years later. Thanks for letting me growing up with u

Delete this PLEASE this is so embarrassing 😭
Since when has paleontology been about “keeping up with the time” in the form of internet trends? Can’t even call this a harmless one because it directly harms the environment.
Anyone else shocked that the guy with bad opinions is also homophobic? 💀
Shitty film takes, shitty political takes, shitty person all around. No surprise there.
What is it suddenly with so many people against nature?? Predation among animals isn’t cruel, it’s natural. Carnivorous animals are not “evil.” Saying you want to eliminate predatory animals or manipulate their biology to fit your beliefs is selfish.
Nature isn’t a Disney movie.
-Dinosaurs are not real
-V4ccines are killing you
-Water dehydrates you
-Music is effecting your subconscious
-Humans can live to 200 years old
I could name 20 more, but ill let you think about these
It’s not unknowable and uncontrollable, good grief. There are SO MANY climate models and studies that prove an accelerated change in climate. Truly blows my mind how willfully ignorant people are on this app.
I’ve never heard a more coherent and simple explanation for the hysteria and politics you see around climate change.
The future of the climate is unknowable and uncontrollable. It’s time to not let it fill you with anxiety.
Does anyone have any tips or advice on finding paleontology grad opportunities?
I graduate in spring, I was unsure about grad school for awhile but I decided I would love to continue to my paleontological studies after undergrad.

PETA has killed 47,316 animals in their shelters since the second half of 1998, ~84.46% of all animals who enter their shelter are euthanized. With only ~7.31% of their animals being adopted, it’s clear that they don’t even try to help them find homes.
Hello! My paleontology field books were separated after being lost in transit and are now being resold in USPS stores. ONE of the two have been found, if anyone sees a yellow Rite in the Rain spiral field book with my name (Erica R.) in it PLEASE send it to me.
Seeing Jurassic Park really hits different now, especially the brachiosaurus scene. A sauropod was the first ever dinosaur I got to help work on in the field so now that scene makes me very emotional 😭
There’s a reason it’s necessary for humans to hunt deer when places lack a healthy predator to prey ratio. There’s a reason the BLM rounds up wild horses yearly to control their population.
No predatory animals could lead to an ecological disaster. Stop trying to rewrite nature.
Honestly would be more than happy to take the statues and skulls off Disney’s hands….Sue should go to a museum though if they aren’t displaying the cast in the park anymore.
Also would like to add — the paleontology community (both professional and non-professional) has a large amount of LGBTQ+ members, so if you’re homophobic you’re not welcome here and you never will be.
Considering there’s a new wave of homophobia on the dinosaur/prehistory side of twitter it’s clear I need to set some boundaries for my account.
I am a lesbian, if you are one of those “celebrate dinosaurs, not pride” people you are not welcome here. End of discussion.
Does heterosexuality have a history of being oppressed? No. Have people been murdered or assaulted for being heterosexual? No.
Homosexuality has existed throughout history and is even documented in animal behavior, yet it is always under attack.
Also, most of the dinosaurs dug up by paleontologists died before the meteor impact? Not every dinosaur lived and died at the same time as one another.
You can’t tell others to use critical thinking skills if you, yourself, choose not to.
T. rex is not a lizard, and birds ARE dinosaurs. Birds are actually the last living group of theropod dinosaurs, and first began to evolve from theropod dinosaurs in the Jurassic period. :)
@peta
Well, I would not eat a T-Rex because it’s a lizard. Birds and lizards are not and never were ‘related.’ I eat birds, not lizards. So, no on the T-Rex and yes on the chicken.
Genuinely in shock I am actually here about to get my first taste of my dream job. We haven’t even started yet and I’m already wanting to come back next year 😭
This is absolutely insane.
A group of tourists in Yellowstone was spotted exiting their cars and sprinting towards a mama bear and her two cubs.
One of the tourists had a child in his arms.
This was the first intimate style show I’ve ever been to and it was amazing, everything about it. Thank you
@bishopbriggs
for an amazing night, love u.💗
This account is definitely meant to be bait, but anyone who thinks it’s okay to even joke about something like this is a vile human being. Absolutely disgusting. Report.
