I legit had no idea that mammals this big co-existed with T-rexes ‘n shit like sixty million years ago. I thought that all mammals back then were rats that would eat the dinosaurs’ eggs.

Why did you lie to me, /sci/?

6 million years after T-exes

What species are on the pic?

>>16770505
for you!

>>16770443

Dinosaurs are fake.

>Why did you lie to me, /sci/?
We didn't. Dr. Stephen Falken (aka Dr. Robert Hume) is who lied to you.

I think that it was a species of Repenomamus which were actually somewhat smaller than I remembered but actually did co-exist with non-avian dinosaurs (over 100 million years ago). As it turns out; I was actually thinking of Paraceratherium (pic related) which lived something like 30 million years after T-rexes.
>>
>>16770443
How tf that fucking thing survived near T-rexes?
>>
>>16771074
I think that a lot of early mammals spent much of their time burrowed underground—which is probably why they fared better than the dinosaurs after the asteroid impact event. T-rexes were probably scavengers anyway, and wouldn’t bother with such small prey.

Glad to see AI is still garbage at making animals
>>
>>16771461
Yeah that one came out lazily made so I called the AI out on it and it remade it for me but it took me a few hours to get it out of it here look
>>
>>16771466
Why would you waste a few hours trying to perfect slop that still comes out anatomically incorrect when you can just post an existing image
>>
>>16771466
AI is not usable for stuff like this and won't be for some years unless you have a Lora and run StableDiffusion (but Loras for extinct mammals dont exist).
>>
>>16770443
Do we come from them? Sorry, I'm not a smartass with a phd
>>
>>16771498
Yes that one looks very good but I feel that manmade CGI art tends to lack some of the ultra high-definition quality detail that some AI is (sometimes) capable of like in pic related. Here’s another attempt I made. I like the detail on the ground better in this one than yours but maybe I just have brainlet layman eyes.
>>
>>16771691
Probably.

Here’s an example of Plesiadapiformes—another probable ancestor that lived something like 10 million to 50 million years after the one in the OP.

>T-rexes were probably scavengers anyway
Still salty, Professor Horner?
