MemberAllosaurusApr-02-2014 4:02 PMBefore telling, I want to say this isn't a late April Fool's joke. It's a real book.
I was online yesterday, searching for some corny dinosaur jokes. While searching, I found an odd of paleoart of a Stegosaurus and a hadrosaur-like dinosaur crossbreeding. Being cursed with curiousity, I clicked on the link, and found a book titled All Yesterdays.
Here's a few pictures:
A Tyrannosaurus, not too different.
Majungasaurus, it looks like a chicken.
If goats can climb trees, Protoceratops can!
Here's a plesiosaur, waiting for prey to swim by, much like an Angel Shark.
(I can see short-necked plesiosaurs doing this.)
The authors' proof? Here's three creature drawings based on their skeletons:
Baboon
Common Cow
House Cat

MemberCompsognathusApr-02-2014 6:48 PMVery interesting. However, those are mammals. Reptiles and birds, dinosaurs closest relatives look very similar to their skeletons. Looks good though!

Youre fat, and I'm not sugarcoating it cause you'd probably eat that too.

MemberTriceratopsNov-19-2017 9:14 AMI think the T.rex and Majungasaurus images have merit, but the rest seem foolhardy, due to them being mammals and "shrink-wrapping" them.
BUT @PrimalKing, there are enough bird species and genera that don't look exactly the same on the outside as they do on the skeletal level, most notably owls and kakapos.
Owls actually have long beaks, but one wouldn't know that because of all the feathers covering most of the body.
Kakapos (or owl parrots) have a great deal of feathers around their heads like owls, making an optical illusion of their head being bigger than the skull, like owls. Their beaks though, are fully exposed, because it points down rather than out.
