With gene manipulation, this can get a pass. Lego it up!!!!

It wasn't a bad theory at the time given most scaly animals tend to drag themselves on the ground but you gotta remember most of them, like crocodiles and lizards, are quadruped and drag their bellies on the ground too. Theropods are bipedal, which is far more common for warm blooded animals like birds. Probably the biggest problem with this theoretical standing position is that it clumps all the tail spinal bones into a real mess that would probably just break on itself.

also at the time, the accepted consensus was that dinosaurs was big,dumb,slow obsolete lizards wallowing in swamps and a evolutinary dead end, just waiting to go extinct

Well, these days we kinda DO keep that description but strictly to sauropods. They never got particularly bigger than they already were, we loved the idea of them being in water to support their weight, they would factually be slow as hell and that tiny head doesn't make for much brain room. Every other dinosaur, on the other hand, still had room to progress.

even sauropods was active animals that lived on land in huge heards

All of these theories stemmed from the general modern consensus that reptiles are unintelligent in general. Even though these kinds of tests in the day were conducted in cold laboratories that didn't take into consider the animals environment. Modern science shows that even modern reptiles can be active and intelligent under the right circumstances. As a consequence it led to people thinking most dinosaurs were slow and stupid. Granted this kind of assumption isn't that great to start with sense lizards are lepedtosaurs(doubt this is spelled right.) (snakes, lizards, etc.) are a different reptile group where as dinos are archosaurian (did I spell that right?) reptiles along with birds and crocs,

and corvid birds are on the level of chimps or above

it sure has gone through alot of revisions over the years thats for sure

Ah, yes.

Don’t forget, they waddle back and forth as they move. Truly a magnificent creature.

It's the Motherf***ing T-rex!

I find it interesting that the first stance was actually a combat stance and super active, but the bones were too heavy to mount in that manner, so they went for the "just standing there" pose.

On another note, the Skeleton mounting of the T-Rex in the Denver Museum of Natural History, which was directed by Bakker, has the lone rex skeleton in an active pose similar to the active stance Charles originally envisioned.

You can see it here.

I think I have this one a coin

Retro-rex may be outdated but he still looks cool :D a classic look of the rex even though we know better now-adays.

Old School >w<
still freaking love it!

And this is why Godzilla looks like he does o3o

Can you guys imagine if the Sharptooth was accurate? What kind of crazy universe suffers that in its Land Before Time? >w< lol

those tail dragging versions of dinosaurs were

THICC AS FUK



but seriously this is a fun piece! :D lovely work here
