Teeth will tell you about the animal’s own diet - not whether it’s being preyed upon. Carnivores and omnivores are preyed on as well.
aren’t most obligate carnivores not directly eaten often?
*eye placement not teeth.
Prey animals have eyes on the sides of their head for better peripheral vision. Predators have eyes on the front for hunting.
same idea, oblique carnivores have special teeth
either way the counter argument to my thought was weasels and would work for eye location as well
Is that skeleton actually from a rabbit, or is it a hare? There’s not a huge difference, but hares definitely look way more like the drawing than rabbits do.
Fascinating! But I actually already knew all that, and I don’t think it answers my question?
So my take away is that some dinosaurs probably had floppy ears.
New headcannon for sure! 😄
So what you’re saying is, T-Rex might have had bunny ears. :)
T-Rex looked more like a bird than a mammal though. :)
Sure. But to be fair, you take the fur off a bunny and it looks pretty similar to the scientist’s aproximation.
Maybe that’s how artists without a scientific background would recreate the animal but that’s not how scientists would recreate the animal.
*What the animal looks like.
Haha. Women stupid
Lemmy fucking loves misogyny.
Have you shaved a rabbit?
Get the holy hand grenade!
I mean, the skeleton looks as scared of the world as the bunny does, and the underfeathered reconstruction also has a vibe of mortal terror
i mean have you seen irl hairless versions of harry animals some really are nightmare fuel.

I feel like they don’t attach where my brain initially expects them to and that throws me.
