    Scientists are the ones who figured out that dinosaurs had feathers. Whenever science is proven wrong, it’s with more/better science.

        One of the reasons I would love to travel to the future is to see all the ways that people and science are confidently incorrect about depictions of dinosaurs now, and how they’re depicted like 300 years in the future. Even within my lifetime, we’ve gone from slow, fat lizard turds to something realistic like this lil’ guy. Amazing stuff.

        I’m glad it was so happy when it died. Doing itsy little walk, my cat does that when he is successfully captured the elusive ball of foil.

      Science success story:

      Aboriginal religions generally hold that long ago in the Dreaming times, the world was cold, there was less water, and the coast was further away. You used to be able to walk to many of the islands around the Australian coast, because there were land bridges.

      White people generally assumed these stories were mythological fiction, because white people are often racist and intolerant. However, science eventually figured out that 10,000 years ago, there was an ice age. The polar ice caps were bigger, and the ocean was shallower. Those land bridges were found under the modern ocean through satellite imaging. Aboriginal religions were right, and science proved that these religious histories had been preserved and kept accurate for 10,000 years!

      Science wins again!

      While true about the proto feathers dinosaurs had, the mis id of their species as reptiles lives on to this day. Half the population doesn’t even know they are from birds, and were warm blooded.

        Eh? Dinosaurs are reptiles in any system of classification I know of.

        I’m not quite sure what you’re getting at but it sounds like you’re referring to the fact that, cladistically, birds are dinosaurs. But there were non-bird dinosaurs, and what this all means for the clades is just that all birds are reptiles.

        Of course normally we are not speaking cladistically. In that context, birds are not dinosaurs, but dinosaurs are still reptiles, and reptiles excludes birds.

  • some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    Check out the coffee table book, All Yesterdays. It’s half reinterpretations of known fossils, half artist renderings of contemporary animals based only on their skeletons. We’re obviously misinterpreting a lot of creatures going just off their skeletons and we’ll never know how they really appeared.

    As I recall, this is from the skeleton of a contemporary species of monkey, as an example:

    Honestly not that far off. It’s like a wet bunny without the ears.

    source
    • OwOarchist@pawb.social ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      And if the scientists tried hard enough, they could probably figure out the large ears, too – the skull would have slightly stronger muscle attachment points and vasculature openings to support the larger ears … although that still wouldn’t really tell the scientists what shape the large ears were, though. So you might still get a very odd-looking bunny out of it.

    Their spines are fascinating. They’re designed to store a lot of potential energy and release it in short bursts.

    Rabbits can fuckin’ move, and the biomechanics behind why is absolutely enthralling.

      If you pick them up incorrectly they can fracture their own spine with those kicks

    This has always been the one thing that has always bug me with the creation of dinosaurs in book, tv, movies etc. If you look at the skulls of hippos or elephants, they look far different than the actual living animal.

    • zikzak025@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      Just to add context, there is a good book called All Yesterdays about how earlier assumptions of dinosaur appearances based on fossil records have been challenged over time by new evidence. A lot of the artists who develop visual recreations of dinosaurs are often (knowingly or unknowingly) working under trends of what they believe dinosaurs are supposed to look like. But the bones alone aren’t always the best reference to use to base appearance off of, because very little trace of soft tissue exists in the fossil record, and that can often contain the most iconic aspects of a species.

      So just to riff on that idea, the book contains a section called “All Todays” in which artists take modern animal skeletons we are familiar with and recreate them as if they were dinosaurs. So you end up with these gaunt creatures that are missing distinct features like ears, noses, fur/features, and coloration.

    we used to have bunnies and ducks and one time we were cleaning up the bunny place and transferred rabbits to a nearby coop. The ducks gathered around it and started quacking at bunnies in this bully manner the ducks do - and then one of the ducks stuck their head into the coop and mama bunny fucked up this motherfucker and turned the coop upside down in the process. that duck got the scarface nickname as a result.
