dinosaur

The first time we found out about dinosaurs when we were kids, we wanted nothing more than to meet one in real life. Yeah, they're scary, but they are also so cool, you know that they are. And then, we found out that they were extinct and our heart broke ever so slightly. Our love for them never went extinct though, so this collection of dinosaur memes are for all the dino lovers in the crowd.

Of course, just because they went extinct doesn't mean that they didn't leave their mark on the world. We are almost certain that baby snapping turtles that look like tiny dinosaurs in disguise are their distant relatives. And tokay geckos who look like mini dinosaurs are also definitely related to them. And when we hear about the 10-foot-long 'dinosaur' that showed up at a student's backyard, we sure as heck got excited. 

If a ten-foot-long dinosaur-looking creature showed up at your house one day, what would you do? Knowing ourselves, we would probably do exactly what this university student did honestly - pick up our phone and film the whole thing. It is not every day, of course, that one gets to encounter a 'dinosaur'.

Of course, the video of the incident that was posted on TikTok that went viral terrified some people while being very amusing to others, specifically, to Australians. As Daily Mail reports, Isabell Ryan who is 18 and lives near Warrigal, was studying when she noticed the enormous reptile - which is either a lace monitor or a tree goanna - come to her glass door. The video, which you can watch below, went viral, and the response was hilarious. 

Twitter user @goldengateblond shared this adorable video of this toy dinosaur (which later turned out to be a dragon) reading a bedtime story to a tired group of adorable puppies and the internet couldn't get enough!  

That's the content we all need. All-day. Every day.   

Once a week, we will be featuring an extraordinary animal account on Instagram! Their story, the adorable pictures, and pawesome videos! This week's spotlight goes to PurrasicDuck! 

Duck is the cutest lil dinosaur around! She is a two-legged double amputee rescue from St Petersburg, Florida. Oh, and she's heckin' photogenic.

Duck is fairly new to Instagram, the first post being only March 19th of this year and the page has already accumulated a following of nearly 40k! Guess people know a truly special cat when they see one. 

Duck's owner responded to a question, on Instagram, as to what happened to Duck's legs, "she was brought into my sisters clinic with her two front legs mangled. Thankfully they have an amazing surgeon that wanted to save her and performed a double amputation. I took her in and she acclimated to her new life quickly and now is the happiest little kitten alive."

We're crazy about this lil lady and in a minute you will be too! 

Get ready to fall madly in love with Duck! 

These 20 dinosaur facts are dino-mite!

I'll see myself out.
