This is my last night in #RapidCity - tomorrow morning it's up early to head back to Gracie and Niko and the dude.
Today was good, the conf wrapped up well, but the only animal I saw was a brontosaurus* on the horizon.
In case you can't find him in the big terrible picture, I've screencapped the inset with the bronto below.
*sic. They're not called that anymore, right?
@amyfou Good morning Amy! ️
️
Happy Bronto viewing!
Thanks for sending me down an early morning rabbit hole, still being that dino kid
— tl;dr since 2015 the Brontosaurus is back in the taxonomy game.
@Linkshaender I am frankly relieved Bronto was always one of my faves
I am feeling particularly doggo-bereft this morning so pls give Chico an extra snuggle for me? Tell him I said that we humans need doggos and thank him for his service.
@amyfou „Always on duty for you huuuumans“
He said the reason dogs are humans BFF and not dinos is that doggos don’t need statues that can be seen from far away.
@Linkshaender omg the floofy chesty dinos also didn't have those probably!
@amyfou Armin beat me to it! Yes - Brontosaurus is back! Shout out to the I Know Dino podcast for teaching me that
@patep34 Hooray for Brontosaurus and all those sauropods out there
@amyfou I like to think of the dinosaur as a symbol for everyone in this town who defies stereotypes by believing the evidence of the fossil record.
