RIP tortoise. Those deer seems too modern to be around mega crocs and mammoth and dinosaurs. Any animal expert here?

 

[Starbuck]

and mega crocs in cold lands (woolly mammoths) ? hyenas, I could accept. but big saurians with their thermal weakness ...

 

[LysandersTreason]

I think the author is taking some chronological liberties, since according to what we know, dinosaurs and mammoths didn't coexist at all. But he sort of handwaved it by saying, basically, "well all they had to go on was fossils. we're actually seeing it, so we know what the truth is" - therefore he can kinda do anything he wants as an author.

Everyone throwing shade over the appearance of dinosaurs... But there have been absolutely no dinosaurs in this chapter?

The thing about these stories is that I don't want anyone to die, but then again someone will turn into a piece of shit sooner or later and they're the ones who never die lol

 

[Shugarry]

The author knows his stuff! Back in the prehistoric age, crocodiles were generally 2x - 3x the size they are now, I guess they evolved to be stealthier

Taiga is a fucking idiot. guns dont even work on crocs reliably. An iron stick ain't gonna do shit.

 

[Wilhelm_Stenvall]

@Xevinaly Wrong. Guns do work on crocodiles, really well infact, its just that the people in africa cant aim for shit with their poorly maintained ak47s, and crocodile/alligator hunters in developed countries like murica don't use high caliber guns.

Now, an iron stick can kill a croc. Hit the belly, or the eyes.

Edit: Even armadillos have been known to ricochet bullets, and they're not exactly the most armoured of animals (against bullets) (This info was taken by scientist redneck floridaman, which attempted to eradicate an armadillo in their backyard research armadillo armour, but sadly, the shot ricochetted and hit him instead. This was performed point blank, with a .357 revolver.

What I find the most heretical of this chapter, was the fact that the tortoise was tasty. (I mean, unless they used spices which they might've had in one of the backpacks, meat that you hunted in the wild will never taste good, maybe not awfull, but never really good)
