Your Dinosaurs Are Wrong

Your Dinosaurs Are Wrong

Turns out a lot of people have a pretty big misconception of what dinosaurs probably looked like.

Steven Bellettini explores Paleontology using dinosaur toys as a starting point. You'll probably see him talking about one you had as a kid.

    There is a species of Parasaurolophus with a short crest. Parasaurolophus Cyrtocristasis. Maybe the short, straight crested one was based on that.

    My local zoo had dinosaur statues for a while and it’s one of the things that got me more into palaeontology. Unfortunately the zoo was shut down a few years ago. It had a good run from 1836 to 2022 but it was tiny only 12 acres so they moved the animals to a larger area.

    So human is faster than t.rex when walking (5km/h vs 4.6km/h)

    Sounds kinda like circular breathing (technique for playing wind instruments) only built in, and I'm guessing it's more energy efficient too eh? Since as you say there's essentially no down time where there isn't fresh breath being processed. So cool.

    Okay I just thought up this idea and I wasn’t sure where to put it, but somebody PLEASE tell them about the Animal Crossing series fossil museum. It is hilarious and kind of really cool to see paleontology develop over as little as the last 20 years through this silly little animal game that just happens to have a “scientifically accurate” dinosaur bone museum. Animal Crossing (Gamecube) 2001 Animal Crossing: Wild World (Nintendo DS) 2005 Animal Crossing: City Folk (Wii) 2008 Animal Crossing: New Leaf (Nintendo 3DS) 2013 Animal Crossing: New Horizons (Switch) 2020 I am currently playing New Leaf and just finished my iguanodon fossil, and after realizing that the in-game reconstruction is bipedal, I couldn’t stop scrutinizing it through the eyes of YDAW. I would love to see them take a look at what Animal Crossing has to offer.

    What I've learned from ydaw 1, make dinosaurs chunkier 2, don't shrink wrap dinosaurs 3, give them tissues like fat and muscle 4, don't make them look malnourished 5, dinosaurs should look like a grandma kept asking "are you full" and when they said no the grandma said "too bad" and force feed them anyway.

    Exactly, venom/poison is mostly an adaptation for smaller animals to fend off predators, with a few exceptions like the very mild venom of Komodo dragons.

    It is ALL theoretical since we have no living or recorded evidence of their habits and complete body function. Most people tend to forget this and take whatever is pushed through popular media without thinking much of it. That being said, thank you for pointing towards actual science for answers rather than just speculation.👍

    Wait, couldn't this also be caused from the fact that the fin would be more taunt closer to the body? Damage to the spines would also likely mean damage to the flesh; damage to the flesh closer to the body would still have flesh above the damage to help splint it, while damage on the edges would be free to shift around leading to those disfigured bones. Especially when you compare it to creatures in today's world, that seems like a *_much_* more plausible explanation than "the bones go much farther out because they heal weird." If the latter was the reason, wouldn't we see a lot more fossils with that section of the fin completely broken off but only in clusters? The fact that they "heal weirdly" in the first place often enough to be able to notice a pattern despite the abuse fossils have _(we rarely get fossils with even 20% of the skeleton intact)_ is another reason why I'm pretty sure the fins did go (nearly) all the way out.
