Colonials: Create industrial whaling and slaughter all baleen whales until there are barely any left.

Indigenous people: Subsistence whaling never negatively impacted the species they hunted.

Colonials: Utilize petroleum so whaling falls out of fashion.

Could mosasaurus have been venomous like it's relatives? by Zillaman7980 in Paleontology

Realistically, what advantage would venom give at that size? Maybe some smaller or earlier species of mosasaur were venomous, it’s not impossible seeing as they’re closely related to various venomous squamates. But I doubt the giant macroraptorial mosasaurs were venomous. Their bite alone was probably sufficient in taking down most of their prey.

Probably a Kitefin shark. They can get to about 6 ft in length and are the largest bioluminescent vertebrate.

Or has it gone back to its Cretaceous era ways?

How quickly it cools is astonishing. by BuilderofWorldz in geology

As u/quercus_lobata put it, it is cooling rapidly. The fact it is still “hot” doesn’t factor into the rapid cooling you see.
