#2Lovely article. Allosaurus is amazing and terrifying. Very cool factoids about the bunny hands, first time hearing they were incorrectly depicted.

I'm still not sure I understand the logic of that; the only rotation I see is in the supine in the 'correct' version. The 'wrong' version doesn't require any rotation at all, even using the illustrations. It's simply lifting the front limbs up, allowing the hands to rest.

#4Nice article indeed. There are actually less feathered species than I expected.
It reminded me of one of my favourite article about how dinosaurs are drawn [1]. Two paleoartists draw modern animals like Hollywood draws dinosaurs. It was eyes opening to me. We mostly have skeletons of dinausors but fat and soft tissues play a very important role in how animals look.

If you want to bring it in front of you in the zombie like position most people use, you should have a notable rotation of both the elbow and the wrist.

This is true, but I notice similarly if I attempt a hands up position.
I should mention how excellent and detailed this article is. Anyone with a young child knows how fascinating they find this stuff and I have some corrections from this article to share with mine.

#7To me the most surprising detail was how scrawny T. rex legs turn out to be.

Imagine a chicken flapping its wings forward at a cat or something.

Your link is also excellent!
I also think - when people ask- "but how did Tyrannosaurs manage with such stupid little arms" - just how well birds can manipulate objects (and in the case of some corvids, tools) with just two feet and a lipless pointy beak. Ever watch a parrot peel the skin off a grape? I've never managed that even with the advantage of opposing thumbs.
In fact modern birds are my favourite dinosaur-like things.

#10Dinosaurs could have feathers for thermal reasons. e.g.: to keep baby dinosaurs warm.
