Because you can’t see Blue Whales at the zoo, retard.

And “snakes, but underwater” ain’t that cool

So you're saying that if we had dinosaurs today we'd take them for granted and think they're boring?

That wasn't what I was intending to say, but it's 100% true.

>>5118664
Absolutely. People cry about the loss of the dodo still, but they were just very large flightless pigeons.

What do they taste like?

I'm convinced if we ever found big foot or the yeti we'd stick a couple in zoos and then lose interest since they'd just be another great ape at that point.

What about the extremely efficient respiratory system? The sheer diversity in body plans? The arms race between herbivores and carnivores, resulting in spiked tails, club tails, bone crushing teeth, literal armor? The current extant animals are simply lacklustre compared to DINOGODS

I also notice you completely skipped pterosaurs because you knew no living flyer could ever be as impressive or weird as the Azhdarchids

Elephants and giraffes are still very popular despite not being nearly as large as the largest dinosaurs

>>5118664
Giraffes for example are such a unique and cool animal yet we kinda take them for granted
But if giraffes were extinct people would be fascinated by them and their unusual proportions

Old good new bad, unironically. They are just intrinsically scarier, cooler and more primal in a way modern animals can never match no matter their feats.

Giraffes are kind of like mini dinosaurs now that I think about it
