Description
Usually I'm all for bold use of color and speculative soft tissue anatomy in paleontography, but every now and then I come across reconstructions that... I'm not so sure about...Related content

about overexageration im not sure if any of my dinosaurs that i drawed are accurate i mean i drawed coelophisis Β with a headcrest Β and a waddle cause i tough and i maybe think that if they had them they would have used it for dominance and mating, i drawed carnotaurus with quils a trouth pouch for food and for T.rex i prefer to draw him like a emu with pinkish ostrich Β like color for the skin and a brownish and black for the feathers and cause of evidence i draw T,rex with a trouth pouch aswell ( only males ) and bumps on its head to protect itself from other T.rexes that bited

It looks like it has a blimp stuck to its face.

A little bigger and he could float Β away. Β

This makes no sense because, deflated, that thing would look like a short trunk with tentacles on the end. A balloon that deflates flat should be just small and round.

Imagine if it was really that big though nice portrait.Β

I'm sure the hydrogen-filled blimp balloon would serve the hadrosaur an advantage, as its species would find high-pitched honks very attractive. The downside is it would have to have a natural aversion to fire and lightning...

So it would be weak against the Fire and Electric types is what you're saying.

I wonder if my dinosaur can fly?
*Dinosaur expands it's nose so much it starts floating away*
Oh.

Come again? Where did you find a restoration like this?

More like coming across restorations that went a little too far in the 'colorful' direction, I think. Too many bulgy sacs for mating sounds, maybe?

This is so perfect! XD
I remember a hadrosaur with a freaking round giant balloon on its forehead in a children's book, when I was 8 or so... XD
The good old times... When everything was daft.

The scary thing is, I could see a dinosaur like this existing.
Damn nature, be crazy somtimes.

Hahaha so true XD . I died laughing at this piece, some people really have gotten a bit carried away with dinosaur reconstructions lately.

To be fair, I'd like to think the enormous nasal openings in some hadrosaurs housed some pretty fabulous tissues associated with the nasal vestibule. In mammals, we'd asume these types of noses to have large amounts of floppy tissue, but as there's no likelihood of muscles, no trunks, so we go the Monk Seal route and include expandable, possibly air-inflated "balloons." I had fun with this here: qilong.wordpress.com/2011/09/0β¦

True. My intention was never to aim this specifically towards hadrosaur reconstructions, nose balloons just happened to be on top of my mind when I started drawing.

Ooh yeah baby, I got a throbbing red nasal pouch with your name on it, uh, uh.

Um... in my subconscious? It's not a direct parody of any piece in particular.

Oh, sorry. I didn't know you drew it. Stupid of me.
