They literally had a tyrant lizard king. Like a giant, evil, apex predator Jim Morrison. This implies some government structure, but obviously could have predated the rise of bureaucracy.
Robert California wasn’t that bad.
They may not have ruled, but that’s only because the cave-MAN was keeping them down.
“It’s a living…”
While we’re at it, could people please stop calling birds dinosaurs?
Birds are dinosaurs in the same way as humans and whales are small, rat-like creatures
Biologist here.
This is incorrect. Via Wikipedia:
Birds are feathered theropod dinosaurs and constitute the only known living dinosaurs. Likewise, birds are considered reptiles in the modern cladistic sense of the term, and their closest living relatives are the crocodilians. Birds are descendants of the primitive avialans (whose members include Archaeopteryx) which first appeared during the Late Jurassic.
There are plenty of rat like humans.
But enough about Pete Buttigieg…
Reminds me of that Saturday morning cartoon from the 90s about dinosaurs.
Ooh, found it… such nostalgia.

As someone in this thread said, Ants are actually ruling the world. I mean how are they still alive after all this years?
