these kind of "reconstructions" to show how ~we don't know anything~ piss me off bc it handwaves away a huge amount of paleontology research. it's also not remotely based in reality bc that's not even how a paleontologist would reconstruct a cow; part of the problem w/ dinosaurs is that their only living relatives are birds, and for a hundred years or so we didn't know that. ofc if u look at old reconstructions they're going to be less accurate but in the past 10-15 years there have been a lot of advancements in our understanding of how dinosaurs probably looked, moved, etc
