(+) Yeah! (+)

Makes me think we could be getting dinosaurs all wrong.

Hippos are more scary than the middle picture tbh

hippos with feathers

I hate mind blowjobs

Hippos are among the most terrifying and aggressive animals on the planet. If you encounter one within it's range, you will die. There's no stepping slowly back and it calming down and turning away.

Hippo seems to be missing some teeth.

Probably had them removed to make room for more wieners in there.

They literally can just hit you while running with that massive head and kill you. But yeah, some people get it all wrong. Back in the day an elephants skull was mistaken for a cyclops. Dinosaurs are a huge question mark, while I think we got the bodies right we never will know exactly what they looked like

is this supposed to be a joke

Not at all. Some people say our entire interpretation of dinosaurs are wrong. They use images like these as an example of why. We want to see monsters, so we interpret the evidence to create a monstrous looking thing. Most people use a featherless chicken as an example.

What if Hippos could fly?

but who is the one claiming they know how "alien" would reconstruct the animal from that skull, and based on what evidence

The point is how an outside observer with no first hand knowledge of the animal would view the evidence (ie: bones.)

See this is why I say dragons must have been real or at least something very similar to them. If you put a skeleton of random bones in front of ten different people and told them to draw what they think the animal looked like you would get ten different pictures. Yet somehow dragons or at least the general shape, especially head, of dragons all look similar. Dragons have been in just about every culture on earth and somehow cultures that lived thousands of miles apart and thousands of years apart all came up with the same or very smiliar image. Thats not going to happen from dinosaur bones, ignoring the fact that the different species of dinosaurs lived in different areas of the world and not all places have bones in the first place. So clearly dragons have to either be real or based off of something that was real and spanned the globe.

No.

I stand by this Hippos are all assholes. I am not someone who think any animal should be wiped out. But I wouldn't lose sleep if one day I woke up and someone said all the world Hippos were stolen and taken to the Mars .

Check out herons, toucans, or weirdly posed eagle skeletons.
A lot of dinosaurs had feathers: https://www.worldatlas.com/articles/did-dinosaurs-have-feathers.html
And their body mass is probably NOT what movies like Jurassic Park showed us.

This is most assuredly wrong. But it does help to illustrate what we're talking about.

We know how large muscles are on a skull due to the attachment points on the bone
