New muttaburrasaurus head redesign just droppedhttps://peerj.com/articles/20794/
>>5116360There's no way they actually thought it looked like this
>>5116360aw geez this is more demoralizing than that time when Dunkleosteus was scaled down to a hunchbacked 3 mt long bottomfeeder
>>5116373>>5116361>>5116360Now just put the sick ass feathers on top and you've got a beautiful dinosaur that looks freaking awesome!Most birds also look pretty retarded, gay, and incredibly ugly if you were to remove all their face feathers.
>>5116360We now know that dinosaurs were gay lizards that sucked on little peepees, as evidenced by their narrow mouths
>>5116403>dinosaursMore like diddysaurs
>>5116360before this devolves into more scientists are raping me shitposting, if you think the new Mutta facial reconstruction looks retarded and wrong that’s because it is and revisions are already being made. OP pic is what happens when the person reconstructing the takes the position of the smashed bones to be quite literal.>so what does this mean for Mutta?in the end Mutta has a longer face compared to the old snub nosed look it had before and it may have the strongest sense of smell among ornithopods.
>>5116445>>5116447This is literally just the Dunkleosteus shrinking thing all over again. The reconstruction used in the paper looks like hot shit, people cry about it and then someone actually makes it look good and then everything's lovely once again.
Muttaburrasaurus.
>>5116360how the fuck would he eat with that tiny ass beak AND cheeks at the same time? It's either one or the other
>>5116701Probably just a more selective diet in all honesty, though that's taking the raw plucked chicken colored depiction used in the paper 100% seriously.Something most people gloss over however is that it was proposed that Muttaburra actually had nasal salt glands so that's a pipewrench in figuring shit out.
