bookrat:

Dinosaur sizes are skewed too much. Like, you look at an 80lb German shepherd and yeah that’s a large dog. The 30lb corgi is medium. The little yappy rat monster is small.

Everyone can agree that T. rex is large but medium and small are meaningless. Here’s a 20 ft Dilophosaurus, it’s the biggest predator in its ecosystem and comparable to a huge grizzly bear but we’ll call it medium. There’s a 9 ft Deinonychus the weight of a lion, it’s small. There’s a 6ft Huaxiagnathus, it’s small. There’s a 3 foot microraptor, it’s small. There’s a dove-sized Yi qi, it’s small.

It’s not a good system you guys.
