Welcome! I am an amateur paleontologist wishing to educate and entertain folks online by showing them the incredible world of paleontology and zoology! Looking through all of natural history, from Dinosaurs to Denisovans, and Mammoths to Manatees, I hope you learn and laugh a little while you look through The Budget Museum.
Who says those creatures didn't exist ? You don't know ! ! We still keep finding new buried skeletons everywhere in the world. Many that were believed to not be real too !!
Tenontosaurus and Camptosaurus win the price of the most vanilla and forgettable dinosaurs out there! They were in every book back in the 80ties/90ties but in this time they are forgotten by everybody!
As a kid I dispised the overused things in life, I never cared for Elephants or Lions or white Sharks, I fell in love with Sable Antelopes, Electric Eels, Babirusa, Secretary Birds and Thresher Sharks, I fell in love with Mileena, Kabal and other non-overused Mortal Kombat characters instead of just Sub and Scorpion, Ryu? Give me Vega and Dhalsim, Wolverine from X-men? lol, I was obsessed with Phantazia, Pyro, Wildside and Roulette of the Hellions. Thing is, I always liked the less-famous things more than the overused famous ones, in some cases I didn't mind the overused and still liked them (just far from being favorites), in other cases I really hated the famous stuff like Ryu and Tyrannosaurus Rex, I couldn't stand them, still can't really. Dinosaurs were my first passion, and I never cared too much for Triceratops, Diplocodus, Apatosaurus, Stegosaurus and Overusedosaurus Rex, they were boring in my eyes and I liked their exotic family members much better. My first love was Corythosaurus and Dimetrodon (didn't know it wasn't a dinosaur when I was 4 though, which is logical), then things like Carnotaurus, Ceratosaurus, Dilophosaurus, Parasaulolophus, Pachycephalosaurus, Pachyrhinosaurus, Oviraptor, Shantungosaurus, Styracosaurus, Therizinosaurus, Kentrosaurus, Gallimimus, Spinosaurus, Baryonyx, Deinoncheirus and trillions others caught my eye and love. I always liked Torosaurus more than Triceratops, I didn't really hate Triceratops like I hated Tyrannosaurus, but still most other ceratopsians were more interersting to me. Same with the long-necked sauropods, didn't care for the most obvious ones (Brachi, Diplo and Apato) but the special ones caught my eye, Amargasaurus with his strange spikes, the Saltasaurus with it's strange armor, then plateosaurus being their ancestor, and shunosaurus/omeisaurus with their strange tail-club. Heterodotosaurus was always one of my favorite dinosaurs, I loved their different teeth! Long story short, I just love the unknown, obscure and special. I never follow the herd of humans that only go for the most obvious and out-milked (overused), try something fresh for once.
My fav dinosaur is a ceratosaurus (if I spelt that wrong srry) they are a bit Underrated but I just really like them and when I ask people what their fav dino is its almost always t-rex triceritops.
"nobody cares about the first animals" literal seconds later "I bet a lot of you wonder about the first animals". Make up your mind. Or, are we nobodies?
I never considered frogs a only water species like u seen to. Well I lived in Florida I was amazed to find frogs on my windows as I didn't live on the beach . I'm from Massachusetts n am back up here. But even here I've been on job sites where I can't even see a water source and find little frogs. They r not bull frogs but about leopard frog size. Idk if that's a actual name it's just what we called those lil ones. But lots of frogs don't love in water like the ones we see in cranberry bogs
Guys, Im a bit late (4 years) but in this time, a paleontologist who described several specimens of Titanosauria made a review of this clade. Puertasaurus reulli remains as the biggest with 80 metric tons lead, while Argentinasaurus follows with 70 metric tons. The review is easier to understand than reading the description articles, so take a look CALVO, Jorge Orlando. What is the most giant sauropod from Argentina? Diversity of large titanosaurs from Patagonia. 2024.
Some of these animals are better extinct for our own safety. Lions for instance still kill 200 people every year. Sure they look awesome but I could care less if they go extinct if it saves 200 human lives every year.
