Get the **** outta here with that nerd sh1t. The Batlord and I both agree that the Liopleurodon is the best damn dinosaur of all time. Just look at it - look at its grace and beauty. Look at it's beautiful reptilian skin. Look at its cretacious jawline. There's no dinosaur like the Liopleurodon.

Depictions of dinosaurs are speculative. Really? Duh.
Also those illustrations of today's animals reconstructed are somewhat in bad faith because we do have close and not so close relatives of dinosaurs living today to go by and if those future paleontologists had similarly some clues, the illustrations probably wouldn't be that far off.
