Strawberry flavor is nice, but I can't handle actual strawberries. The texture really messes with my sense of touch, it feels like I'm eating wet styrofoam with these suspicious little pits in it :'(
>aw. we need more salamanders that aren't extinct i think. honestly it's so mind-blowing to think that there's so many variants of animals in the world. and yet only one type of human. unless you count monkeys i guess?
We did used to have more varieties of human! People really liked Homo floresiensis, the "hobbit" people from Flores but it's also very likely that there were even more human species out there and we just lack the fossils. There's some evidence that maybe there was a human species in America more than 100k years ago too. Miniminuteman did a nice video on that actually. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5z3DbmOuaFI
It's entirely likely that they existed well into the point that the native Americans immigrated onto the continent and if so they were likely wiped out by them. For salamanders though, there's always Eryops :).

Also on apes there was Gigantopithecus and Archaeoindris too! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gigantopithecus

The first is a true ape, the second is actually a lemur that evolved a gorilla-like body and size.
>wouldn't mind having one as a pet indeed. are they really hard to maintain? is that why they can't be pets?
The good news is that they can be pets! It's just that people haven't nailed down breeding them in captivity, so any you get as a pet is almost certainly wild caught, which is generally pretty bad to do. Depletes wild populations and they're usually not in the best condition when you get them.

A smart, large monster is staring right into your soul :)
>weren't they the size of a chicken or something?? jurassic park lied to me...
I think they swapped 'em. If I remember correctly velociraptor was one of the smaller raptors.
