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.

Are… uh… furries, but with scales… a thing?

Almost afraid to ask.

If not… I imagine they’re about to be.

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.

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

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.

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

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

Science is a process. Just because it's improved today doesn't mean it's perfect.

It could be that all of the lifeforms the aliens have ever seen had that shrink-wrapped look, so they'd have no reason to look for muscle attachments

You can't expect to wield suppreme executive power, just because some watery tart threw a sword at you.

100 duck sized t. rexes, and it's not even close. Grab a couple of the little bastards by the neck and start swinging until they're all dead. The big boy would crush you with one bite. This also applies to the question that yours was likely inspired by.

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

the ferocious earth animal known as hipposaurus rex was estimated to kill about 30000 to 100000 humans yearly

Hey i just thought of an actually good use for generative image ai models

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