maybe the reason dini always looks a little down is that he’s having a perpetual existential crisis over the fact that him being alive is a direct result of the dinosaurs being dead. life can be a bit of a cruel irony sometimes.

sidenote, if the phanerozoic eon was a movie trilogy, i’m pretty sure the movies would be named:
paleozoic: rise of the animals
mesozoic: the dinosaurs strike back
cenozoic: return of the mammals

cretaceous

cretaceous published on No Comments on cretaceous

obligatory fun fact: the word ‘cretaceous’ comes from the latin word for ‘chalk’ (creta), because the big chalk deposits in western europe were made in the cretaceous period. so next time you’re falling asleep in class, just remember the writing on the blackboard you’re totally ignoring is actually made of dead algae that lived alongside t-rexes.

…that is, unless you’re teacher uses gypsum-based chalk… in which case never mind.
