Within a Millennial’s lifetime, depictions of dinosaurs have gone from leathery lizards to feathered floofbeasts as our understanding of ancient biology grew. But it’s still speculation, reports Atlas Obscura’s Eric Grundhauser, and shaky at that. Check out The Bad Hair, Incorrect Feathering, and Missing Skin Flaps of Dinosaur Art. Pictured above is what a swan would look like if a dino artist drew one based upon its skeletal remains, as brilliantly rendered by C. M. Kosemen. I am pretty sure that’s how swans see themselves, so I’m cool with it (but not with swans closer to me than, say, 70 feet.)
Dinosaur art mostly bullshit
