    How is this nerfed? It looks like if an elephant seal was even more gigantic and a carnivore, which is to say absolutely terrifying

      So just more gigantic? It’s a terrifying carnivore anyway, right?

    Well tbh those things were hugely overpowered and due a nerf. We’ll see what the next update brings.

      Well, you kinda can’t know what fossils looked like based on the skeleton. What everyone thinks dinosaurs look like is vastly different from what they most likely looked like.

        I mean, we can’t know everything, but in the last couple of decades we’ve learned how to derive quite a bit about an animal from a fossil. Things like where muscles attach let us figure out the muscle structure, the size and structure of bones yields hints to what and where an organism’s weight was, and from the little nubs on the bones we can tell where feathers are. And all of that can come together and form a decent picture of what that animal’s behavior was. That’s just the stuff I’m aware of as a casual, I’m sure there’s tons more clues in fossils that I’m not aware of.

      The hind legs? No way.

        Yeah that part seems hard to believe.

      Yes and no. Its not uncommon to make extreme predictions just for the sake of “What if?”. Sometimes it actually helps us find stuff out, sense this is all guess and check anyway.

        Ok but has this actually been proposed by an archeologist in accordance with the evidence we have? Is this a possible recreation or has it in effect already been disproven with what we know?

        There’s a big difference between “in 2024 an archeologist asked an artist to paint this” and “someone on ticktock ai generated this”.
