    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.

  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

    Normally I’m not on board with the perversity of the modern internet, but there’s something noble in what you’re doing.

      Almost afraid to ask.

    Dinosaurs were not mammals, so they did not have huge boobs, at least in a sense of mammary glands.

    Of course, those non-avian dinosaurs that died could have had some kinky sexual organs but non of the bird species we know of has huge mammary glands so avian dinosaurs most likely did not have either.

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

  source

  • snooggums@midwest.social ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    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.

      Yes they used to not know what they were doing before they figured out what they were doing

  Hippos smile like on the right, but will tear you to shreds like in the middle.

  source

  • ArbitraryValue@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    Well, no. The one in the middle would do it because he wanted to eat you. The hippo is a vegetarian who would do it for the sheer joy of killing.

      The one in the middle has no muscles so…

  So you’re saying t-rex could have been just a big hippo? ;)

  • Anticorp@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    Or a giant duck.

      Would you rather fight 1 T. Rex-sized duck or 100 duck-sized T. Rexes?

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

  • Pan_Ziemniak@midwest.social ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    Indeed, given that they are actually viscous liquids…

  I’ve always seen hippos with blunt teeth. Do they wear down those fangs eating river weed?

  source

  • FuglyDuck@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    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.
