It’s
“What * * like” (What it looks like)
OR
“How * *” (How it looks)
It’s never
“How * * like”How is this so fucking hard to get right.
Thank you! I only opened this thread to comment the exact same thing. Glad to know I’m not the only one who felt the need.
Oh my god wait does this mean T-Rex was a cutie-wootie-rootie-patootie? 🥹
Probably fluffy, cute, and with fancy floppy ears.
technically dinosaurs are giant chicken
Maybe like our murder kittens (Like tiger or lion), maybe… It’s still probably the largest predator on land in history though…
scientists:
This is something that AI may actually be useful for
How so? The current version already incorporates all the known data from the fossils. We need more data not more interpretation of it, afaik.
Honestly not that far off. It’s like a wet bunny without the ears.
And if the scientists tried hard enough, they could probably figure out the large ears, too – the skull would have slightly stronger muscle attachment points and vasculature openings to support the larger ears … although that still wouldn’t really tell the scientists what shape the large ears were, though. So you might still get a very odd-looking bunny out of it.
zero percent fat. Do you even lift, bunny?
This has always been the one thing that has always bug me with the creation of dinosaurs in book, tv, movies etc. If you look at the skulls of hippos or elephants, they look far different than the actual living animal.
They don’t just look at the bone structure.
No room for wings? What if they found them elsewhere and placed them thinking this were a flying mammal?
That’s the most foul, cruel, and bad-tempered rodent you ever set eyes on! He’ll do you up a treat, mate.
Run away. Run away.
Artist/authors John Conway and C. M. Kosemen have a book called All Yesterdays about this subject.
He’s also got a very interesting book called All Tomorrows
Their spines are fascinating. They’re designed to store a lot of potential energy and release it in short bursts.
Rabbits can fuckin’ move, and the biomechanics behind why is absolutely enthralling.
Yet they’re very fragile (the spine) sadly. Same with Guinea pigs.
If you pick them up incorrectly they can fracture their own spine with those kicks
Explains the way they fuck
Look, all I’m saying is we have no proof that the dinosaurs didn’t drive cars.
Just in case though… let’s prepare the holy hand granade… juuuuust in case…
But to which number you have to count?
Three shall be the numba. No more, no less
Check out the coffee table book, All Yesterdays. It’s half reinterpretations of known fossils, half artist renderings of contemporary animals based only on their skeletons. We’re obviously misinterpreting a lot of creatures going just off their skeletons and we’ll never know how they really appeared.
As I recall, this is from the skeleton of a contemporary species of monkey, as an example:
Then when you’re done, check out All Tomorrows to really just cement the nightmare fuel.
The swan is one of my favourites.
That’s cool, thank you for sharing!
cuuuuuutie
