Reconstructing soft anatomy

[stargatedalek]

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 theres no reason to assume it didn't have one, its artistic liberty

[Yutyrannus]

Ultimatedinoking cannot tell the difference.

Hey!

P.s. It's clearly fat.

...or muscle .

[Yutyrannus]

He doesn't seem to understand the concept of artistic liberty.

[Ultimatedinoking]

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 theres no reason to assume it didn't have one, its artistic liberty

Like its stumpy legs?

Wow! Did you even read that? That wasn't artistic liberty, that's what it actually looked like!

Spinosaurus has stumpy legs? Nooooooooooo!

[Balaur]

Do you think a 12 or 15 tonne Spinosaurus will support its weight on thimble twig legs?

[Yutyrannus]

Spinosaurus has stumpy legs? Nooooooooooo!

What's wrong with that? I think that makes it both weirder and cooler, plus it gives a hint towards how Spinosaurus lived (if it wasn't clear already).

[Yutyrannus]

Do you think a 12 or 15 tonne Spinosaurus will support its weight on thimble twig legs?

Yes actually, remember Majungasaurus? Besides, I'm starting to think Spinosaurus was at least 50% aquatic.

Fist it gets a croc head, now croc legs?

I think it was more than 50%. Something like 70%.

Any reason why it's implausible?

...it's not a croc.

Maybe the new finds a mistake! Spino lived with sarcosuchus! Maybe the new legs belong to a mega croc! They were mixed up after death!

[Yutyrannus]

Fist it gets a croc head, now croc legs?

Oh come on, just deal with it! Besides the real Spinosaurus is WAY cooler than that JP3 monstrosity.

I think it was more than 50%. Something like 70%.

Yeah, probably somewhere around that. I actually may rewrite The Fish Hunter again because of this "new" discovery.

I never compared it to that rex killer.

I though of it as more of a theropod version of a crane or bear.

What is your problem? Why can't you just see dinosaurs as what they are, animals not monsters.

Uh, have you seen crocodils limbs? There's is no way they could get mixed up with theropod legs, they're totally different!

And, convergent evolution maybe?

Um, no. There are clear differences with crocodile legs and theropod legs. Also, we are not saying it has tiny back legs.

I do! But making them tubby and thorn covered doesn't make them animals.

... It was just a hope.

There is no reason to make them so spiny, I agree, but they were stocky and muscular animals, they weren't walking skeletons!

Why would you hope that, Spinosaurus gets cooler with every new discovery.

[Balaur]

We're not talking about the thorny sail. How does that make it less of an animal anyways?
