The Queen of Isla Nublar...

I can not read German, but I can pretty readily use translators. Also as Sue was not found in Germany or by a German I doubt the accuracy of your source. Everything you post proves my point that birds did not descend from tyrannosaurs. They share a common ancestor that was a small dinosaur, but that is all you can say as birds fill an entirely different niche than a giant predator. I am not sure how you read that Wikipedia article but I think you should look again, or maybe find a translated version. Even if you based the T. rex on its closest related extant creatures you would get a creature much more similar to the first movie than you would the character that was developed. Comparing a distantly related dinosaur as proof that all dinosaurs were motherly is like comparing cats and dogs, cladistically. I will make this simple for you. There is no viable proof that any tyranoid was motherly to the extent they did in the movie.

You doubt the accurancy of an scientific article because it is german? racism much? I doubt that you know anything about that topic at all since you made so many wrong assumptions that i stopped counting. Best was the "short arms" comment about tyrannosauridae. Whats next? You claim all fish are reptiles because they have scales? Excuse me but i assume thats meant in a comical way?

That said you should propably read some articles written after 1953. Your imagination about those animals seems to remain in the 50th where it was believed that they were sluggish, stupid and slow reptiles.

I'm happy that i could teach you something. Be open for science. You will see it is amazing.

P.s. i still wait for any archosaur that does not care for its young. You seem to avoid that. Also how an animal with a brain almost 100 similar to that of birds, with evry relative showing maternal care should behave like a sluggish, stupid reptile when evrything imdicates just a massive bird. And please tell me who told you tyrannosaurs are classified by their small arms.
