They even know the colouration of a bunch of them, like this Sinosauropteryx:

This kind of “scientists are so stupid” mindset is so weird

But first somebody had to make a movie with the wrong data, making the whole field cool enough to get funding to found out they were wrong.

Science success story:

Aboriginal religions generally hold that long ago in the Dreaming times, the world was cold, there was less water, and the coast was further away. You used to be able to walk to many of the islands around the Australian coast, because there were land bridges.

White people generally assumed these stories were mythological fiction, because white people are often racist and intolerant. However, science eventually figured out that 10,000 years ago, there was an ice age. The polar ice caps were bigger, and the ocean was shallower. Those land bridges were found under the modern ocean through satellite imaging. Aboriginal religions were right, and science proved that these religious histories had been preserved and kept accurate for 10,000 years!

Science wins again!

While true about the proto feathers dinosaurs had, the mis id of their species as reptiles lives on to this day. Half the population doesn't even know they are from birds, and were warm blooded.

I'm not old enough to see naked bunnies 🫢

Look at those lil ‘staches! That’s the best thing I’ve seen all day

Is this a certain type of rabbit or is it normal to shave them while leaving a moustache?

What the animal's skeleton looks like. Or How the animal's skeleton looks.

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!

Run away. Run away.

Maybe like our murder kittens (Like tiger or lion), maybe... It's still probably the largest predator on land in history though...

technically dinosaurs are giant chicken

Probably fluffy, cute, and with fancy floppy ears.

But to which number you have to count?

If you pick them up incorrectly they can fracture their own spine with those kicks

Yet they're very fragile (the spine) sadly. Same with Guinea pigs.

Explains the way they fuck

We can't say that they didn't drive spaceships!

He's also got a very interesting book called All Tomorrows

They don’t just look at the bone structure.

Ducks are rapist assholes with monstrous genitals.

for the unaware, look it up, i dare you

No, it alerts me

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.

I go back to All Tomorrows every now and then. It's weird.

Just to add context, there is a good book called All Yesterdays about how earlier assumptions of dinosaur appearances based on fossil records have been challenged over time by new evidence. A lot of the artists who have developed visual recreations of dinosaurs in the past were working under assumptions of what dinosaurs were supposed to look like. But skeletons alone aren't always the best reference to use to base appearance off of, because soft tissue (lost to time) can often contain the most iconic aspects of a species.

So just to riff on that idea, the book contains a section called "All Todays" in which artists take modern animal skeletons we are familiar with and recreate them as if they were dinosaurs. So you end up with these gaunt creatures that are missing distinct features like ears, noses, fur/features, and coloration.
