[ And skirting away from this decidedly uncomfortable topic, back to whether dinosaurs are monsters! ]
I suppose it does depend on how you define the term. If they need be mythical or imaginary, then no, of course dinosaurs are not monsters. If they need be of a certain size or ferocity, then only some dinosaurs would qualify...
It's a very whimsical question, I apologize. [ Smiling. ] I was only wondering... whether from certain perspectives, dinosaurs might be considered every bit as fantastical as anything in a fairy tale.
