2024-02-18 12:00:05 UTC We don’t know what dinosaurs looked likeSure, we have fossils and stuff, but no skin. Most people draw dinosaurs using a technique called paleo art. It’s not really a good technique. Below are some pics of modern day animals drawn using it. Visit the link to find out which animals they are and to see more pics.

We do know what dinosaurs looked like, sure maybe not color exactly but we have skin impressions, mummies, skeletal reconstructions and comparative anatomy to guide our understanding of what they looked like.
Example of a well preserved dinosaur is Borealopelta, we know a lot about how it looked like down to color.
The images in this post are an example of “shrink-wrappping” which is a practice used by paleo artists. This technique doesn’t take fat, muscles, or tendons into consideration resulting in the innacurate depictions shown.
this was not a debate i was expecting to see here today
it seems like the middle one (the horned one) takes muscles into consideration
and im sure the guy meant more typical dinosaurs like the tyrannosaurus rex or the pterodactyl
The cow shrink-wrappping does have some considerations that still make it recognizable as such, however it is presented lacking fat stores and ears that we know cows had.
And as for Pterosaurs and tyrannosaurus, these are some of the best researched groups that we know of. We know Pterosaurs had a fuzzy coverage of pycnofibers
Spanned the length of the body and we have detailed biomechanical data of how they took off and walked thanks to a combination of math and footprints. Tyrannosaurus have some of the most complete skeletons ever discovered and skin impressions to boot, this has made it possible for the construction of lifelike full-scale replicas like that of the “fleshy” statue made of sue the Tyrannosaurus.
i thoguth a lawsuiit was happening Lol
