seththeshallow: psiotechniqa: uncle-beanbag: v0idbird: autumngracy: amuseoffyre: My money says that’s what plesiosaurs were like: fast underwater, extra padding for buoyancy, long neck. Look at their skeletons! It’s just like this: They’re basically large horizontal penguins with a long tail and spiky teeth. OH SHIT THEY PENGUINS!! OH SHIT PLESIOSAUR PENGUIN!!!!!!!!! This is the inherant problem with most reconstructions. It’s just unknown how much fat the animals really had. looks legit I’ve seen similar points be raised about skeletal reconstructions for hippos if we use that same logic Also the feathers, we are forgetting all the feathers -- source link
