Dude... you just said that throat sacks are exclusive to frogs...






No, I just picked frogs.

Animatronic archosaurs?
I may not like feathered dinosaurs and stumpy legged Spinosaurs, but I will keep those opinions to myself, I will not start a debate over it, I promise. 😇

You are capable of understanding the concept of a model representing a real animal?

Surely you are not going to claim that real life crocodiles do not have throat sacks?

Hey, you know what I just realized? By looking at a human skull technically you could think that they have a dog-like nose if you didn't know better.

What? All I asked was if it was animatronic, with all those tubes leading to it.  ???

I know they have them, I just said fronts because that's the first throat sac having animal I thought of.

So, it's half frog?

Perhaps not a trunk, but based off the attachment points, you could see that a fleshy organ existed on loxodonta. (Or elephas)
so pelicans and crocodilians are half frog?

[EDIT] ninja'd
but really, its not unrealistic in the slightest the spinosaurus had a throat sac

since you seem to like naked maniraptors so much, have a parrot

^THIS is what JP does to dromaeosaurs

Ugh, no. I could have said half  pelican or half gator. I just used frog. How do we know spino had a throat sac?

We don't, but there is no reason to think it didn't.

Also, Ultimatedinoking, please read my comment on the human skull.

Yutyrannus, I did. But the Homo sapiens skull is so odd in its own right, rounded, triangular nasal opening, small jaws, and foramen magnum on the bottom.

Basically you can't judge what an animal looks like in life just by putting skin on the bones.

Yes, but layering them in fat doesn't help either.

Ultimatedinoking cannot tell the difference.

Yutyrannus

Actually, it does. There is not a single living animal that looks exactly like its skeleton. If you put fat on the bones you are much less likely to be wrong about that animal's appearance, if you just copy the skeleton exactly you are 99.9999% likely to be wrong.

It's not just fat, it's muscle!
Well, it is actually both. Because all animals have fat to some extent.

Hey!

P.s. It's clearly fat.
