Dinosaurs CAN'T exist anymore...I've explained way too many times.
You and me both, my friend. AND giant arthropods, AND giant octopuses, AND...
Actually, and interesting thing about the nasal passages about sauropods and even hadrosaurs; people often attribute them (being massive!) to the production of sounds, but I wonder, could it have actually housed a vast lattice of blood vessels, to allow blood-brain cooling, as exhibited by large, Savannah-dwelling herbivores? This would also apply to hadrosaurs, which I suppose could have had a more sophisticated mechanism, housed in the crest. Such a large animal like a sauropod would have difficulty finding shade in the Jurassic climate (unlike the faster and generally smaller predators), and so would surely have to rely on something to stop their blood from overheating- providing sauropods were warm-blooded. That is certainly disputed.

I wonder about this all the time. I see topics 4 pages long (and more) and it was proven fake on the first page.
That's nothing. It's when you already give the one and only explaination about something, and people still go "oh I think it's this" >ahem<(Feline Cutaneous Asthenia)
