the shrinkwrapping complaint says that dinosaurs almost certainly had markings and appearances we can't imagine and don't make sense to us.

Stoats have a very noticable black spot at the tip of their tail when their winter fur is pure white otherwise. They use it as some sort of distraction or decoy against predators, because these tend to compulsively focus on the moving black dot, which makes it hard for them to keep track of the stoat itself. That's very similar to how some military camouflage is designed to make it difficult to discern and focus on the shape of a camouflaged object rather than making the object/soldier invisible.

So I guess the red thingy is actually reasonable.

Why are animals getting progressively smaller...?
>>
>>2138023
they aren't.

Stable environments produce progressively larger animals (Cope's Rule).

Larger animals are more prone to extinction when environments become unstable.

Gigantic dinosaurs were the result of tens of millions of years of stable climate. Modern animals are the result of extremely unstable climates.

Flipping heck why are people still saying that? ARTHROPODS can't grow past a certain size because of the oxygen in the air because of the inefficient way they filter it FROM the air. Lungs are much more efficient to the point that the largest goddamn animal to ever live is alive TODAY. And it's godamn aquatic so it spends most of the time under water where their lungs don't even godamn work. And its STIL the largest. Oxygen levels would have to be really fucking low before it starts affecting animals with lungs. The things affecting size the most right now is gravity and unstable environments, NOT the fucking amount if oxygen in the air.

There was also less oxygen than today when the largest flying arthropod existed (Meganeura) and when the largest land arthropod with trachea existed (Arthropleura). That arthropods are limited in their size by their trachea or their exoskeleton is a myth. They only get big when there are no vertebrate competitors, as soon as those show up their size goes down.

I think a study last year using bracketing based on known samples of skin and feathers found something like 80% of dinosaurs didn't have them.
