Do you have any facts about frogs or dinosaurs
Yeah, some frogs can trans themselves at will so don't use their DNA to fill in carnivorous dinosaur genomes for theme parks. You can see the results of this in the popular 1993 film, "Carnosaur."

A finished comm for my boyfriend!
A carno with no arms (inspired by the idea that their tiny arms were like. Just under flesh because they were that useless).

Strange Symmetries #14: The Tooth About Baryonyx
Almost all toothed theropod dinosaurs had exactly four teeth on each of their premaxillary bones, the paired bones at the very tip of the upper snout.

Spinosaurus skull by AS | Public domain
The semi-aquatic spinosaurids were an unusual exception to this with six or seven teeth per premaxilla – and one particular member of this lineage seems to have been just a little bit weirder.
Baryonyx walkeri lived during the early Cretaceous, around 130-125 million years ago, in what is now southeast England. About 9m long (~30'), it had distinctive enlarged curving claws on the first fingers of its hands, along with a long narrow snout with a "rosette" at the tip followed by a notch (a shape convergent with the jaws of modern pike conger eels).
And that premaxillary rosette had a strangely asymmetrical arrangement of teeth.
Tumblr media
The left side had six teeth, and the right side had seven.
Why? We don't know!
Baryonyx skull material is rare and fragmentary, so it's unclear if this was actually a characteristic feature of the species or if the known asymmetric rosette just represents an unusual individual.

Two aggressive Allosaurus fragilis squabble with each other over a sauropod carcass while a hungry Harpactognathus flies by, waiting for any scraps that the theropods have left behind

Diamondsaur
(I'm bad at naming stuff if you couldn't tell)
I was watching BillMakingStuff making crystals for a frame diorama in one of his videos and for some reason it made me remember a drawing I did when I was like 12 or something of a dinosaur with crystals coming out of it back.
So like... I made one.
Made with a carnosaur toy, miligreen, cheap paint, and a lot of painters tape. Trying to figure out a way to seal the crystals with a gloss spray and the rest of the build with a matte apart was a real pain in the ass. Next time I think I'll seal it all with a matte spray and coat the crystals with modgepodge or something.
I wanna make another one at some point. Probably some kind of four legged herbivore next time.
(I know they're not diamonds but I needed a pun)

Carnivores Allosaurus doodles
Wanted to add some little details on my own to this bizzare dinosaur, I noticed most vintage Allosaurus depictions had a rather bumpy skin texture, surprised not many people have tried to make a mod addon inspired by that.
