      Woke up and chose violence this morning, so here goes:

      Akshully, the Jurassic Park creatures are not reptiles for a number of reasons.

      1. Reptile is paraphyletic and arbitrarily groups species regardless of their lineage.

      2. T. Rex was likely warmblooded as its descendants are.

      3. The creatures are not entirely dinosaurs. They’re hybrids of dinosaurs, and modern animals that the Jurassic Park scientists believed were most similar genetically.

      Anyway, thanks for commenting, and I hope I’ve conveyed an appreciative and respectful tone. I sincerely just like sharing, learning, and discussing things.

      Also, fight me.
