I did a similar question on a different thread, but I felt that I should put on this page.

A. Grimlock
B. Slag

D. Swoop

by **wilcosu35** » Thu Jan 09, 2014 9:16 am

Swoop, because he's not a reptile?

I had to go and look it up, I never knew that whole branch was excluded.

What was the answer to the previous question? You really need to catch up on your sleep :lol:

Dinosaurs are exclusively land-based. Pterosaurs, which Swoop falls under, as well as marine reptiles like Ichtyo- and Plesiosaurs are all separate branches despite them all being prehistoric reptiles. So Paddles isn't a Dinosaur either.

Just for completion, Dimetrodon is often included in the Dinosaur ranks, but it's not even a reptile. Instead it's a so-called Synapsid and more closely related to mammals. Totally different evolutionary direction. The Mammoth and Saber-tooth Tiger should be obvious errors. :-B

wilcosu35 and JelZe GoldRabbit got in right. However one reason Pterosaurs are not considered will be explained in my next question.

Which of the original G1 Predacons (aka combines into Predaking) would be consider a "dinosaur" by many palaentologists?

No this not a trick question. Clue: closest relatives include velociraptors and T-Rex's, but their hips are more like Triceratops.

Today's trivia question.

How long is a light year?

A. 1AU

B. A light year isn't a measure of distance

C. 9.5 trillion kilometers

D. 6.8 trillion miles

Let's see... The speed of light or c is 299,792,458 meters a second, and there are 60 * 60 * 24 * 365.25 = 31,557,600 seconds in a year. In short, rounded up it's 9.5 trillion kilometers, or 5.9 trillion miles. So it's C.
An AU or Astronomical Unit is the mean distance between the Earth and the Sun, and a light year is actually a measure of distance, defined as the distance light travels over the course of an Julian Earth year.
