It reminded me of one of my favourite article about how dinosaurs are drawn [1]. Two paleoartists draw modern animals like Hollywood draws dinosaurs. It was eyes opening to me. We mostly have skeletons of dinausors but fat and soft tissues play a very important role in how animals look.

I also think - when people ask- "but how did Tyrannosaurs manage with such stupid little arms" - just how well birds can manipulate objects (and in the case of some corvids, tools) with just two feet and a lipless pointy beak. Ever watch a parrot peel the skin off a grape? I've never managed that even with the advantage of opposing thumbs.
In fact modern birds are my favourite dinosaur-like things.
T. rex got along just fine with its stumpy little kiwi-bird wings.
