For giant carnivorous dinosaurs, big size didn’t mean a big bite

When a Spinosaurus attacked a T. rex in Jurassic Park III, both giant carnivores tried to finish the fight with one powerful bite of their bone-crushing jaws. The Spinosaurus won, because when the movie was being made back in the early 2000s, fossil discoveries suggested it was the largest carnivorous dinosaur that ever lived. But new research provides evidence that size and weight didn’t always create a powerful bite. “The Spinosaurus and the T. rex didn’t live at the same time at the same con

You are not going to believe this, because there is absolutely zero precedent for it happening; it appears Elon Musk has overpromised on something.

Between its amply peeved neighbors, a woman being brained by a patio covering on its opening week, and protests against owner Elon Musk's other activities, the Tesla diner was already drawing all the wrong kind of attention — and then, it seemingly halved its menu out of nowhere.
