  Right, and that’s why most people would believe this meme and take it as 100% truthful. The meme doesn’t specify that that’s the way we USED to do it, it says that’s how it would be done

        you say it as a joke, but look at the non extinct dinosaurs we have today,

        most birds are indeed much more flamboyant than Jurassic park dinosaurs

        Something that stands out to me is how the most colorful creatures are good at evasion. Birds and bugs flying or reef creatures have hiding holes. Other colorful life tends to be toxic.

        For this reason I doubt the huge species had color that stood out from their environment.

    Prehistoric Planet, I say as an amateur. But from what little I read about it it’s pretty alright apparently, and most of the ‘wrong/we’re not sure about this bit’ things are listed on the wiki afaik.

    Of course there’s much more scientific depth possible than a TV show, but it’s a start towards recreating the common notion of what dinosaurs may have looked like.
