If you are suggesting that lizards make railroads or something I'm 100% in, brother.

Alright, but I don't want to sugar coat it. It'll be a long, difficult journey. It's doable, though, and the rewards will be substantial. First off, money is tight. We'll probably have to start with green anoles on HO scale trains just to make the market and create at least some demand. However, I'm confident we can have monitor lizards on 1:8 scale by 4th quarter 2027. With any luck we'll be running full scale standard gauge rolling stock with Utahraptors by early 2031.
