    dinosaurs may have had big honkers there’s simply no way to know whether or not they had big mommy milkers the soft tissue of the gazongas is not preserved in the fossil record experts are divided on the question of whether dinosaurs had huge jugs each outcome is equally likely there is a fifty percent chance that every dinosaur was blessed with real big hoohas

        Are… uh… furries, but with scales… a thing?

        Almost afraid to ask.

        If not… I imagine they’re about to be.

    Honestly it would be a more accurate portrayal of how vicious hippos actually are. I think on this one, nature is just fucking with us by making hippos look that way.

    This meme is bullshit, they aren’t just eyeballing it. They analyze bones for muscle attachments and do modeling and shit

      They used to model dinos after lizards which have the skin stretched over their bones for the most part. That was decades ago, but the anemic dinosaur art lives on.

      Yes, modern reconstructions take into account muscle tissue and the fact that dinos were not just giant lizards.

          It could be that all of the lifeforms the aliens have ever seen had that shrink-wrapped look, so they’d have no reason to look for muscle attachments

      Since birds are dinosaurs and have all kinds of specialized behaviors and non-fossilizing traits like specialized feathers, I assume the big dinosaurs had all kinds of wacky shenanigans and non-fossilizing soft tissues too.

          100 duck sized t. rexes, and it’s not even close. Grab a couple of the little bastards by the neck and start swinging until they’re all dead. The big boy would crush you with one bite. This also applies to the question that yours was likely inspired by.

      If they’re in a zoo, they cut them off because they’re basically six-8 daggers and hippos are freaking mean.

      Here’s a reasonable link, but yes they also wear down in the wild.
