Why is gastric-brooding frog in the tag

When someone pronounces Yi qi "Yee-kwee" (it's pronounced "ee-tchee")

Eh, not the weirdest change that could happen

Older juvenile ornithischians might be called calves

Chicks

The Earth now is different from the one they inhabited millions of years ago (ex. The mammoth steppe no longer exists with the exception of the Ukok Plateau so animals that called it home are in for a shitty time, not to mention they would just get poached to extinction for being exotic).

Recently extinct animals still have open niches while ecosystems previously inhabited by ancient animals have adapted to the lack of them.

Gone (mostly real life stuff)

I think only species that disappeared recently should be cloned

Too big and almost tripedal

66 most likely

Ichthyostega is not an amphibian (or a true tetrapod for that matter, it is merely a four-legged vertebrate related to them) as those actually appeared in the early Carboniferous, believe it or not. Ichthyostega has seven digits, not eight. Acanthostega has eight, if I'm not mistaken.

Sharovipteryx is not related to or ancestral to pterosaurs, which are archosaurs related to the lagerpetids.

Diapsids as a whole appeared in the late Carboniferous, not the Triassic

Aetosaurs are not crocodiles or crocodilians, they are suchian archosaurs very distantly related to them. Crocodilia appeared in the Late Cretaceous, while actual, true crocodiles (Crocodylidae) appeared in the Eocene.

Caseids are not reptiles, they are basal synapsids. Casea comes from Ermine C. Case, who was a paleontologist, it doesn't come from a Greek translation of "cheesy".

Thylacosmilus did not have the same build as the machairodonts (don't call them saber-toothed tigers, call them saber toothed cats), it was plantigrade or semi-digitigrade. It is also not a true marsupial, it is a non-marsupial metatherian called a sparassodont.

The Tertiary period is obsolete, having been broken up into the Paleogene and the Neogene.

Tsaidamotherium is not a pronghorn (Antilocapridae), instead, it was either a stem-giraffe (Giraffoidea) or a bovid related to the muskox.

Yeet him

@Masonthetrex127 WTF is that image

I mostly just put in the negative prompt A.K.A what I don't want to see:

ugly, tiling, poorly drawn hands, poorly drawn feet, poorly drawn face, out of frame, extra limbs, disfigured, deformed, body out of frame, blurry, bad anatomy,

And then I put in the prompt: for the pterosaurs, I put "hairy pterosaur head"

Definitely the ornithischians

Craiyon

Hoatzin claws are a secondarily evolved trait

Birds in general are the closest living relatives of T. rex (and very distant relatives overall)
