Wacked dino, consider yourself fortunate. He could have said “I get so excited sometimes that I could just sh…..”………… Well, you know. Better to get hit with a tail
I have German Shepherds so all my TV drinks have to be in sippy sort of cups because there is a tail incident at least once a month and my drink will end up on the floor. So worth it though.
Stegosaurus had a formidable tail. Studded with four long spikes, this dinosaur’s business end would have given Allosaurus and other Jurassic predators plenty of incentive to keep moving. But do we have any evidence that Stegosaurus really used its tail this way?
Among paleontologists, the four-spiked tail of Stegosaurus is called a “thagomizer.” It is one of a few terms inspired by one of Gary Larson’s beloved “Far Side” cartoons: a caveman points to a slide of a Stegosaurus tail and names the nasty-looking structure in honor of “the late Thag Simmons.” Humans and Stegosaurus missed each other by over 140 million years, but the joke was so perfect that paleontologists couldn’t help but informally use it.

Can’t figure out why the tree has fallen on the left and the hurt dino is on the right? How did this happen? Anyone?

I think we’ve all seen wagging dogs knock down toddlers. Admittedly, the toddlers are pretty wobbly to start with, but still… ☺

It must’ve been the prospect of getting some tail.
