Oh yeah I forgot the Carnosaur films, I can't believe I used to like Carnosaur

I can suggest some bad ones if you need them! XD

well yeah I believe Hyenas would act dog like since they are basically full-filling that niche. Heck if Caniforms were to go extinct, It wouldn't be a stretch of the imagination that hyenas would replace that entire clade

@Xenotaris,

Disney did do their research for Lion King's.  Artists and some other production members went to one of California's universities to study spotted hyenas.  But they ignored it in favour "artistic license".

And that's completely ok, especially for a traditional animated movie.

The new Lion King changed them for the better.  The new voice actress for Shenzi stated, "Those hyenas were funny.  THESE hyenas are scary."  And aren't they ever!

Still, they act a lot like dogs, but that's fine too, because they do so in real life.

The two tyrannosauruses have since retreated under the forest canopy to escape the downpour, lightning slashes across the midnight sky as its thunderous roar followed soon afterwards. The trees began to sway side to side as the rain intensifies. Junior growled as a tree branched fell on his massive snout, his companion the female Regina gently removes the branch.  

A herd of scared hadrosaurids in forms of Parasaurolophus and Corthyosaurus came stampeding through the redwood forests, fleeing from something big. Junior slowly rose to his feet, it has been many years since he last seen these hadrosaurids in such large groups. An all too familiar roared echoed through the forest, Regina rose to her feet as a large theropod dinosaur with a huge sail on its back approached the wary tyrannosauruses. It was the spinosaurus Gar and he was hungry, he sniffs his new surroundings; his nose catches the scent of an all too familiar foe. Gar didn't like tyrannosauruses, not only did he compete with their kind for food but Gar being the only member of his kind to have been resurrected, saw everything as a potential food source.... including his former handlers.

Junior and Regina remembered this creature, Gar was a glutton; he would eat more than any other large predator and even kill when he is not hungry. Junior step forward to roar at the spinosaurus, Gar roared back in confidence before Regina started roaring at Gar. Gar swung his head towards the female, giving Junior the opportunity to strike first.

I can give you a few good suggestions: Land of the Lost, One Million Years B.C. (1966 and 1940), Caveman, Prehistoric Women, When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth, The Land That Time Forgot (1974), Planet of Dinosaurs, The Crater Lake Monster, and The Last Dinosaur 

 Sorry for not posting another, I need to get my hands on some other dinosaur movies.

I like cats

well Disney has the habit of not doing their research

@Xenotaris,

Yes I did.  The only reason people think (spotted) hyenas are so closely related to dogs is because of their very similar morphological and behavioural traits to canines in several elements of convergent evolution, and then...Lion King.

So Simba and Nala were hunted by, and then fought, giant mongooses.  Not dogs.  Give that a thought...

Okay it was for the benefit of anyone that didn't know

Yes!

Not what I meant. I meant, "Actually... not to be that guy... BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUT I already knew that..."

PHEW, finally caught up! Nice!

This is the prequel to my Las Cinco Muertes series

I am not saying that Hyena's are felids, they are just feliforms; they are closely related to Civets than True Cats

next will be Megaraptorids

I need to make banners for each chapter for this series

Actually... not to be that guy... BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUT

Noice.

I bet yall didn't know that the Hyena was a relative to the cat

Well I pretty much covered most of how the Dromaeosaurids came to be via the evolution of Birds.

Okay lets start off with the basal dromaeosaurids: Luanchuanraptor, Pyroraptor, Shanag, and Zhenyuanlong.

The dromaeosaurids were then broken into three distinct subfamilies:

The small and very bird-like Halszkaraptorinae: Halszkaraptor, Hulsanpes, Mahakala

The South American and Antarctican Unenlagiinae: Austroraptor, Buitreraptor, Neuquenraptor, Pamparaptor? Rahonavis? Unenlagia, Unquillosaurus?

The double winged Microraptoria: Changyuraptor, Graciliraptor, Hesperonychus, Microraptor, Sinornithosaurus, Tianyuraptor, Zhongjianosaurus

The classic Eudromaeosauria which itself was divided into three tribes: Saurornitholestinae were medium sized eudromaeosaurians of the likes of Atrociraptor, Bambiraptor, Saurornitholestes

Velociraptorinae were small eudromaeosaurians with elongated snouts like the Acheroraptor, Adasaurus, Boreonykus, Linheraptor, Tsaagan, and its most famous member the Velociraptor

Dromaeosaurinae were large, heavy skulled, and heavily built eudromaeosaurians like the giant Asian Achillobator, the JP Raptor sized Dakotaraptor, the inspired JP Raptor Deinonychus, Dromaeosaurus, Itemirus, the giant Utahraptor, Yurgovuchia, and Zapsalis

Undetermined: Dromaeosauroides, Nuthetes, Ornithodesmus, VariraptorPamparaptor?,

Cool

Didn't I partially cover that with the Spinosaurids?

Edit: Nevermind, I'll get on that too

Felinae are represented by its plethora of different genera:

Acinonyx (Cheetah and Giant Cheetah)

Caracal (African Golden Cat and Caracal)

Catopuma (Asian Golden Cat and Bay Cat)

Felis (House Cat, European Wild Cat, Jungle Cat, African Wildcat, Black-Footed Cat, Sand Cat, Chinese Mountain Cat)

Leopardus (Ocelot, Oncilla, Kodkod, Pampas Cat, Margay, Geoffry's Cat, Andean Mountain Cat, Southern Tiger Cat)

Herpailurus (Jaguarundi)

Leptailurus (Serval)

Lynx (Eurasian Lynx, Canada Lynx, Iberian Lynx, Bobcat, and the extinct Issoire lynx)

Otocolobus (Pallas's Cat)

Pardofelis (Marbled Cat)

Prionailurus (Leopard Cat, Sunda Leopard Cat, Flat-Headed Cat, Fishing Cat, Rusty-Spotted Cat, Iriomote Cat)

Puma (Modern Cougar/Mountain Lion and the extinct Eurasian Cougar)

Extinct Linages

Asilifelis

Diamantofelis 

Katifelis 

Leptofelis

Miracinonyx (American Cheetah)

Namafelis 

Pratifelis

Pristifelis 

Sivapanthera

Cool. Could you also do Megalosauroid evolution? That one I'm a tad iffy on...

I do plan on tackling Dromaeosaurid evolution soon but Megaraptorids would be a fine topic too

Interesting. I didn't know all cats had a very complex evolutionary history behind them.

Yeah, this topic is pretty similar to most of my studies on it over the past few years. One thing, could you do a post explaining the theories behind Megaraptorid evolution?

Also MDK, on your second point... Well I agree, but actually I disagree. I mean... just look what happened here... but, it could do some good... I could post video links in the comment section, like how we've actually seen evolution happen over the course of a few decades in a process known as Rapid Evolution.

@Xenotaris Two things:

1) This is an awesome topic, so I really hope we go back on topic. Also, this is teaching me more about the evolutionary history of dinosaurs than any book, documentary, or movie I ever read or saw. Awesome job.

2) Maybe that should be a separate topic to talk about (considering how important it actually is) : Evolution VS Creationism.

... Basically any topic about evolution IRL...

Yeah it went from a Topic about Dinosaur Evolution to arguing about Evolution vs Creationism.

... On the Dinosaurs topic, probably.

 Forum*

Guys,this is a world record of most replied topic!

Lol

(Me internally) Nobody dispute outcome nobody dispute outcome NOBODY DISPUTE OUTCOME

And with no clear winner.

NEXT TIME ON DEATH BATTLE

A conflict that's ending, so SSHHHHHHHH

This,this,IS A CONFLICT!

Okay on to Dromaeosaurid evolution
