What I'd really like to know is how Red Claw obtained his titular characteristic. :huh: I've wondered if it's possible that when he acquired his scar, some of the blood seeped into the living tissue of his claw, permanently staining it red. (It's slightly disgusting to contemplate, I know.) Or could it have nothing to do with the scar, and his claw is naturally pigmented red? (I'm not sure if that's possible, though, and it seems like too much of a coincidence that his only red claw just happens to be connected to his scar.)

My point exactly.

I’ve got one:

It’s a screenshot from the end of LBT XI, where the Great Valley inhabitants are assembled for Nibbling Day:

Note the two green dinosaurs in the lower right-hand corner and upper left center of the image. Their coloration suggests that the filmmakers intended them to be rainbow faces, but their physical appearance is that of the last kind of dinosaur you would expect to attend an event commemorated by the consumption of tree blossoms.

It would appear that either the rainbow faces were unavailable for shooting that day, forcing the producers to get creative with some green and blue makeup and a couple of guest stars who had conveniently stuck around after filming an earlier scene, or the Great Valley residents have become much more lenient about the kinds of dinosaurs they allow into the Valley since the incident with the tinysauruses.

Let's see...
Name three misconceptions about Stegosaurus. (Don't say "juveniles were speech impaired." )

I've previously looked through all of the LBT images in the "Caption This!" section at least twice, and I can't say I've ever seen this one before.
As for a caption...uh...let's see...


Ducky: (thinking) The next time the pass into the Great Valley gets blocked by white ground sparkles, I will be the one to make them go away, yep yep yep!

Thud: Wait a minute, Screech! Hold it! (snaps picture) That pose would look great for a trophy or a statue or something!
Screech: You bonehead! You let those kids get away! And where'd you get a camera, anyhow?

I hate the sound styrofoam makes.

Me too. I also absolutely despise those little styrofoam packing peanuts. (I've got two or three garbage bags full of them in my room from all my eBay purchases. I'd rather reuse them, but so far I've never shipped out anything that needed that kind of packing material.)

My favorite beverage is Barq’s Root Beer. (I'm drinking one right now. )

One clichÈ of traditional dinosaur wisdom (I mean human knowledge about dinosaurs, not the philosophy of dinosaurs ) was that theropods (e.g., T. rex) were incapable of swimming, while herbivores (especially the duck-billed and long-necked varieties) were very good at it. As DarkHououmon stated, this was not the case. There are a number of known fossil trackways of theropods kicking their way through shallow water, so evidently these animals swam sometimes. The bodies of most living land animals are neutrally buoyant (they neither float nor sink in water), meaning that swimming comes fairly easily to them. Seeing as theropod skeletons were highly pneumatized (filled with hollow spaces containing air), they would have floated like corks.

Back to the subject of swimming theropods in LBT, we don’t even know how the Giganotosaurus got to the island in the first place. Obviously, it either used the land bridge (in which case it would have had to have arrived before the gang did) or swam across, but no indication is given of which one. Either way, it would have had to arrived fairly recently, as Chomper believed his parents to be “the only big sharpteeth around here,” and something as big as that Giganotosaurus would not go unnoticed for long on such a small island.

Even if the Giganotosaurus was overpowered by the current at the end of LBT V (though for all we know, it could have been swept all the way back to the mainland :unsure:), I can’t say we’ve seen any indication that LBT sharpteeth can’t swim. The raptors caught in the damburst in LBT III seemed to have been quite good at it, seeing as they made it to shore before they were even swept past the point where the leafeaters climbed out of the streambed. And in the TV series, Chomper seems to have no problem participating whenever the gang plays in water. And as far as the original Sharptooth is concerned, I think that he probably drowned not because he couldn’t swim (as Littlefoot had presumed), but because the rock the gang dropped on him knocked him unconscious, or at least breathless.
