Why do paleoartists insist on giving alligators flabby necks and bellies? They’re reptiles not mammals

>>5023127
>Proceeds to post an alligator with the fattest redditor neck possible

>>5023159
I believe it's probably one from captivity.

They can easily get hyperobese in captivity more than likely cause its at a farm, hence where picrel stems from.

>>5023160
deadliest pancake in the world

>>5023127
Why is its coloration so boring? don't you know they had vivid display colors?

>>5023160
>tfw your sides can actually roll

>>5023159
Have you never seen an alligator? That’s not even unusual for them. An obese croc is way fatter like >>5023160

>>5023171
Acktchually crocodiles most likely had feathers!

>>5022973 (OP)
Checkmate, atheists.

>>5022973 (OP)
Ok this is just getting ridiculous. Paleoartists need to tone down the amount of spikes and skin flaps this is absurd

>>5023289
Where are the whiskers?

>>5023307
Lediposaurs aren't archosaurs

>crazy huge wattles
>gay neon colors
>feathers
Paleoartistis have gone too fucking far.bros... billions must die.....

>>5022973 (OP)
I'm sick to my back teeth if modern peleo 50I boys and their dog shit memes. I hope the feathered dinosaur meme is finally on its way out.

>>5023366
What the fuck is that?

>>5023355
neither are iguanas

>>5023392
feathered T. rex is indeed on its way out. Raptors did have feathers so those aren't going anywhere

>>5023127

>>5023366
Why do real animals with features like this actually look cool but every time paleoartists do it it looks retarded?

>>5023438
Because 'paleoartists' can range from a scientific educator who can paint, and people who do furry art commissions.

It's a male Bulwer's pheasant with inflated wattles

I fucking hate birds sometimes. Bunch of simps

>>5023437
True fact: the only evidence for feathers in raptors is from china. "Quill knobs" have been found in animals we KNOW don't have feathers such as Concavenator. Darren Naish has even said he's found them on mammal bones and the LEGS of theropods.

>>5023908
Except the quill knobs on concavenator face inwards unlike with dromaeosaurs

>>5023171
so they can hide in the black waters in the everglades

>>5023160
do you think he would have a stroke if he tried to death roll?

>>5023159
crocochads like gustave and lolong don't have that

>>5022973 (OP)
Coco!! :3

>>5024361
Sure they do. That double chin is responsible for their bite force

>>5023159
thats a muscle, you retard, they have all the muscles to close their mouths in their neck instead of having cheeks

>>5024505
He’s retarded. You’re not gonna get through to him

>>5023908
We know they have feathers.

Also, dromaeosaurids are indisputably nestled within the group that gave rise to birds and their closest relatives (Ornithomimids, Oviraptorids, Aves, Therizinosaurs, etc.) who all have feathered representatives.

it's flat fuck friday

>>5024544
Speaking of therizinosaurs, i really want to know the feather situation with Therizinosaurus itself because it is the same as T. rex. An animal that evolved from small feathered ancestors but turned into a giant multi-ton monster. I bet a lot of reconstructions are heavily overfeathered

>>5024927
Maybe, maybe not. The evolutionary pressure on feather coverage could’ve been the same as with giant tyrannosaurs or completely different

>>5024927
Tyrannosaurs did not evolve from a small feathered ancestor. No dinosaur did. The only ones that even have plausible deniability are the coelurosaurs, which despite online idiocy does not include every fucking theropod you've ever heard of. It's mostly a cluster of random animals like Alvarezsaurs, Ornithomimosaurs, Oviraptorosaurs, Therizinosaurs, Dromaeosaurs and a token few other critters. Tyrannosaurs are not on that list.

To this day the only dinosaurs outside of china or mongolia with feathers (supposedly) are Archaeopteryx and Ornithomimus and there's even some funny shit going on with Ornithomimus.

>>5024936
Here goes the bot talking to itself again, trying to create false narratives. No creature has ever evolved scales to replace feathers. That doesn't happen. Birds have scales on their feet because they have always had scales on their feet. Yes, we've all seen your ptarmigan picture. Nobody fucking cares, jewbot.

Outdoor cats are invasive pest animals even where the original wildcat is native btw
Have fun having a meltdown about jewish bots

>>5025274
Yes we know about the replication crisis and making shit up being the norm due to Robert Maxwell. Thank you.

>>5025262
>there's even some funny shit going on with Ornithomimus
No there isn’t. You keep saying this but can’t even begin to describe what you mean. It’s just that you don’t want to accept that something with feathers could exist outside China and be more distantly related to birds than maniraptorans

>>5025402
There you go. Spoonfed and everything.

>>5025402
Are ornithomimids not maniraptorans?

>>5025416
That doesn't really mean anything. Maniraptora is a fake cladist "classification" if you can even call it that. Literally not ONE dinosaur outside of china or mongolia has feathers except the two named genera (and the probably synonyms of Archaeopteryx).

>>5023471
Is that a fucking drop bear?

>>5025413
You still didn’t describe what you meant. But given you think a genus of mostly Oligocene/Miocene palm trees is the true identity for the feathers of the middle Jurassic kulindadromeus I guess I shouldn’t be surprised. If your argument is “it doesn’t look right to me” when you never examined it in person and know fuck all about the subject then you should consider suicide
>>5025416
No. Ornithomimosauria and Maniraptora are both Maniraptoriformes though

>>5025444
You have eyes. Oh wait, you don't lol. One of bots' greatest weaknesses. No vision.

>>5025457
>still can’t actually say what he thinks is wrong about it
I accept your concession. Just be honest and say you think someone drew on the bone with sharpie

>>5025461
>Describe this image to me so I can respond to your text.
Pay for better bots, jews.

>>5025444
Damn all this time i could have sworn ornithomimids were maniraptorans. Interesting

>>5025463
If this is meant to be some sort of satirical trolling thing, a reflection of the average 4channer as a borderline delusional retard who can’t stop arguing with people and somehow finds a way in every post to direct his impotent vitriol at imaginary Jews, I commend your dedication. If not you’re still a pretty funny synecdoche of what this site has become.

>>5025262
>NO dinosaurs had feathers! because if i exclude most of the evidence i don't like because china bad and a novel trait could never be constrained to just one region...
This is a creationist conspiracy theory btw.

>>5025510
THE BOT IS AT IT AGAIN!!

Maybe if it repeats this talking point the 40,389,239,823rd time, it will work!!

>>5025413
Why do you post this like that’s all that’s been suggested to be feathers? The entire animal is surrounded by feather imprints

>>5025544
can you explain how this catches bots? wtf

paleontology is a pseudoscience at best

None of you people even like dinosaurs you're just here to argue. You don't even believe in the things you're saying.

>>5025975
I do, and i sure miss when these weirdos weren't around and we could actually talk about dinosaurs

>>5022973 (OP)
Looks like crocodiles aren't wholesome chunky chonker chunguses with gay feathers, redditbros....

>I do, and i sure miss when these honest people weren't around and we could actually lie about dinosaurs and get away with it
The dinosaur dark ages are over.
