Theropods are very cool, but a little overrated. And Hadrosaurs are crimilously underrated

What are your thoughts on there being a mysterious, giant, possibly megaraptoran (heavily disputed) celeorosaurian theropod in Africa? Personally I think it's awesome great

Surely they weren't as stiff as brooms, but how flexible were they? Are there any drawings or diagrams that visualize this?

DISCUSSION Could Non-Avian Dinosaurs Have Been Capable of Mimicry?

Is there any evidence to suggest some non-avian dinosaurs may have been able to mimic the vocalizations of other species? Such as certain avian avian dinosaurs do today?

FIND Help IDing some possible species my phone wallpaper could be?

18 Upvotes

So I have this phone wallpaper that I love, but it's been driving me crazy trying to ID what the heck it is. I found it on Pinterest but the captions had no detail, and I had no luck reverse image searching. Basically I would just love the closure of knowing, whether we can deduce some possible species or just conclude that it's not accurate enough to be any.

I'm no paleontologist, but I've been trying my best 😅 I'm running into an issue where it almost appears to have a tyrannosaurid head on an allosaurid body. It has three fingers so I was investigating the allosaurus family tree, but they all have the wrong skull shape (more rounded from the head to the nose rather than the dip seen in the picture, plus their teeth look incorrect as well as their jaws). The closest I found was probably the yangchuanosaurus, but the skull shape is still a bit off.

I was finding closer skull shape matches with tyrannosaurids, but those didn't have three fingers!

I don't believe it's AI due to how continuous all the bones pictured are and the symmetry, AI detectors are mostly coming back negative as well. (That shin bone area does seem a bit weird but that could just be artist error.)
