This Is What Idaho REALLY Used To Be Like

You may have run into this online as of late if you're browsing any social media or blogs about Idaho:

IDAHO SHOULD GO BACK TO THE WAY IT USED TO BE!!!

So, what was Idaho really like before everything changed? Well, it was a lot like the rest of Earth! Per Wikipedia:

During the Cretaceousperiod, local dinosaurs included possible armored dinosaurs, relatives of the horned dinosaurs, and possibly Tenontosaurus. Dinosaur eggs are also known from the state.^[5] Significant volcanic activity occurred in Idaho during the Cretaceous.

Yep. Idaho was covered in dinosaurs back in the day, there have even been stromatolites discovered in parts of Idaho dating back millions of years.

That's right, before Californians decided to make Idaho their new home forever, dinosaurs were Idaho's original native sons. If dinosaurs ever come back, do you think they'll ask us to "go back where you came from?" Because, if a T-Rex asks us to do something, we're probably going to do it.

We're not joking. The creatures that were calling Idaho home way before we got here were absolute units. Even standing next to some of the biggest animals on Earth today, these monsters absolutely dwarfed all the creatures we're used to seeing in 2024.
