Actually this is how we’ve been reconstructing dinosaurs. They’re probably all very wrong.
I want to believe…
Then you have physcs and how much weight the bones can lift before breaking.
T. rex may have had lips, for example
Luscious kissable lips?

It’s a while ago. Now they’re probably pretty accurate.
The book All Yesterdays explores this
Just purchased. Now it will languish in my iBooks library with other illustrated books until some time in the distant future…
Honestly, knowing what I know about the last slide, it might as well be the middle slide.
I remember someone mentioned online that the reconstruction of animals are more complicated than just tracing the bone line.
I am very interested if some experts are willing to tell us more.
They can get some idea from the bones of muscle attachment points and how strong of a muscle would have been attached.
How it looks: This creature would use it’s oversized teeth to impale it’s prey and it’s massive muscles gives it a crushing bite.
The truth: I eata da plant
The truth: I eata da plant and also indiscriminately murder everyone who comes too close.
And then eat the meat sometimes
They only eat meat that’s already been killed – the perfect flexitarians
But since they indiscriminately kill whatever is close enough, they may supply themselves with said “meat that’s already been killed”
