Lizards and Dinosaurs
Apr 22^nd, 2022 at 4:24pm

I was chatting with Gordy in the topic next door about lizards etc.

I honestly don't get why guys think they're awesome likeable creatures.

To me (and every girl I know)... they're creepy and scary.

Awesome likeable (and cute) animals IMO are golden retrievers and canaries.

So I don't understand why our perceptions are so different. Could this be something else which demonstrates what makes men different to women ?

If I was forced to provide an answer it would have to be Dorothy the Dinosaur. Even then she didn't look like a dinosaur. She looked more like a hippo.

The Ozraptor.

The what?

I've never heard of that one.

Edit : You made that one up didn't you lol?

I was watching The Dinosaur Train this afternoon on ABC Kids with a few of the kids in my neighbourhood (we baby sit each other's kids from time to time).

Oh man the girls weren't as interested as the boys who were ready to jump into the screen lol. Anyway there's a dinosaur for every letter of the alphabet in the Opening Song. Check this out : I love the very last bit where the dinosaur eats up the entire screen as it roars lol.

Bingo! Gordy could you ask him ( as he's only just a tender aged 5 kid) .... if he finds dinosaurs scary or awesome.

He'll no doubt look at you and say "awesome" with a huge grin.

I recall the very first animal book we bought our kids. It was made of plastic so it could be used whilst they sat in their high chair eating away making a huge mess with their fingers and food OR in their bath.

The animals were all cute and cuddly as we turned each page going from 1 letter to the next. The second the page turned to T for T Rex everything stopped. But only for our boys. It was as though they had seen Santa Claus on his sleigh.

"Awwww T REX I love you too many" <--- invariably followed.

A few times in fact. And we couldn't continue on with the rest of the alphabet. The book had to stay right there at that page.

The fascination with dinosaurs was something only our boys were ever able to understand and display.

The girls? It was always L for Lamb for P for Puppy etc.

Sharks are fish, they have no bones and use cartilage instead. No relation to dinosaurs (Reptiles.)

Interesting you should say that. That's what I was basically taught back in the day (Uni).

It's all changed now and apparently our current day birds were once prehistoric dinosaurs.

In fact that's why we bought a bird. It's the descendant of a dinosaur.
