I recommend people to read this book: All Yesterdays: Unique and Speculative Views of Dinosaurs and Other Prehistoric Animals, by palaeoartists C.M. Kosemen and John Conway — https://www.amazon.com/a/dp/1291177124 it shows how inaccurate are depictions of prehistoric animals taking as an example the reconstruction of the body of modern fauna through their skeletons.
I was greatly pleased to see the color reference card in the photo of the model. If you're going to make the most accurate depiction ever, you might as well take that extra step to make sure all the photojournalists can render the colors on it properly, before all the news services run with it.
> It’s not like anything seen alive on Earth today: it’s the size of large turkey, but with a face like a Jim Henson puppet.
Boy howdy... Just looking at this thing makes me think "Not the mama!"
Looks like a cross between a turtle and a chicken. Really interesting.
Looks like Disney nailed it, then.
Yeah I have a feeling we'll be seeing this silly face quite a bit in toy stores soon.
It's smiling! Of course I'd be terrified to see that jowly maw in person, with its horizontally oriented horns and whatnot.
the face looks more like a 'parrot's!
Is the apostrophe before "parrot" a typo? I'm just wondering.
