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

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

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

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.
