All that did was add spino to the mix and made it worse
Spino is now the invincible awesomebro-a-saurus
That before JW, Indominus makes Spino look like a real animal and it's such an unstoppableawsumbromonstah that even the Kaijus from Godzilla (last one) look puny in comparison.

If their deer is what it is to this real life deer....imagine what their models would look like to the real creatures of the past!

Maybe they shrink wrapped the deer to give people an understanding of how bad shrink wrapped dinosaurs are? xD

When people make half-feathered monstrosities like this.

Dromaeosaurid's are fully feathered like birds. Not like this half-feathered abomination.

Its a method of dodging fully accurate compromise between fully accurate and traditional
or maybe people don't know any better?

speaking of raptors, Its quite disheartening irksome to see raptors with very light, formfitting coats of feathers (see 1st & 2nd picture). however observations from birds show that feathers change the entire couture of the animal and would hide the legs.(see picture 3 & 4)

I wouldn't say the deer is shrink wrapped in the traditional sense, but the musculature is overemphasized. Even then I've seen deer with shoulders like that. Faces... not so much.

Strict scientific accuracy neither fits our narrative, our gameplay, or the overall aesthetic of the game.


Why is accuracy seen this way? Why do the dinosaurs in, say, ark or other medias have to be inaccurate? Sure the ponies in My little Pony are not much like the real thing, but at least they aren't naked, 30 feet tall, or horribly shrink wrapped. They are changed to fit the style of the show, but they are still recognizable. Why is it that dinosaurs can not be accurate unless it is in a documentary?

This Stegosaurus is accurate while staying in the style of the game:

So why does one have to be horribly inaccurate to fit in the style of Ark's?

Of course I am only using ark as an example, this excuse is thrown around in almost every single game, movie, and book.

Ark is filled with over the top crap like people with chins wider than their shoulders and magic sky beacons. Also, those Stegosaurus aren't exactly the shining stars of accuracy.

Anyways, I hate it when documentaries do this, especially the ones that act like Nanotyrannus is some sort of outlandish conspiracy.

now seeing as you brought up a animated cartoon: a cartoon animal is based on an accurate source material and adapted to a style, however a extinct dinosaur ends up being based on an inaccurate source. this causes a rift between the animal and it's cartoon 'counterpart'.

Bra really with the creation vs evolution. Back on topic. Hi guys I recently came up with a hypothesis, I personally think that in paleontology both Eutricratops and Triceratops are the same animal. First the Triceratops has the same horns yet it looks younger because they curve upward a bit. Second like Jack Horner said about the growth stages, Eutriceratops has rarely any protrusions on the frill. Third the Eutriceratops has less more teeth than the Triceratops. So these two animals are the same in my Paleontological opinion.
