New spur of the moment video. Take a moment of peace and enjoy the summer ambience as thousands of pollinators go crazy for my devil's walking stick (Aralia spinosa).

@lcnwokeji And that isn’t to say they can’t have some whacky shapes, but they do have muscular control over even the very tip of the tail. Sauropods probably weren’t just flopping it around.

@lcnwokeji Not in my view. I’m not picking on anybody and this isn’t the best example. But a lot of depictions come off as limp and overly flexible. That’s what I meant by noodly. They were flexible of course but I imagine like lizards, more so in the horizontal plain.

@apemaxxing All apes are monkeys but not all monkeys are apes. Apes are a sub-grouping of monkeys. This is phylogenetic fact.

I already found Confuciusornis Kingfisher like, now I'm shocked at the resemblance. I literally traced the beak and the crest directly from fossils. This fits well with its inferred habit as a sit and sally hunter like the Megaceryle or Dacelo Kingfishers the drawing resembles.

@omegafreelancer To your point about having little material, most sauropod skeletons are incomplete so the whiplash tail isn’t actually improbable either as some seem to think. Not to mention Titanosaurs are already convergent with Diplodocids in several other ways.

@Sketchy_raptor I honestly think they’re well within reason. I like that they look almost fantasy as it captures that feeling of seeing something you’ve never seen before, since we still can’t really get the overall impression of a dinosaur.
