This is a serious issue with our perception of dinosaurs though. So many animals that look completely different to one another nowadays have quite similar skeletons. You really can't be too sure about fat distribution, muscles, cartilage, skin features, colours, textures in fossils.

Dinosaurs are traditionally represented in drab colours, with skin placed upon the skeleton with a process known as "shrink wrapping", tightly attaching the skin to the frame. But many animals that we know now really don't work like that.

Future archeologists are gonna assume I was skinny 🙌

Reminder that penguins, along with all other birds, are technically dinosaurs

Shrink wrapping ancient animals is a trip Here's a baboon! How horrifying lol

seal

Chonkasaurus

Eh, not likely, especially for dinosaurs that we have full skeletons of, because that much fat would be seen on the bones as damage from walking.

wait so if a penguin commits war crimes how do you hang them

not a bad theory, but I assume penguins evolved their shape for swimming and insulation

Yes please! 🥹
