Three dinosaurs in a trenchcoat
(midwest.social)
Science MemesIt’s better than three trench coats in a dinosaur.
RIP Neo, Columbo, and Inspector Gadget.
Reads like devil man crybaby
since nobody actually has an explanation yet I'll give my extremely unqualified one (aka, I was sent a tiktok like 2 weeks ago)
Basically they saw big T-rexes and little ones. They assumed the little ones were babies, but now new evidence has shown that they might not be related and they're just a similar looking dinosower
no idea what the third version is, the tiktok didn't go over that one 🤷♀️
I'll let someone else with more experience correct me lol
dinosower
😁
This makes a lot of sense. Taxonomists are tasked with a difficult job organizing fossils into species. Its why there's like 7 definitions of species. Off the top of my head: shape (morphology), sex (interbreeding), genetics (differences in key genes) with the majority of them existing to categorize extinct species
Alright. I admit it. None of us are actually a Tyrannosaurus Rex.
"Think Vincent Adultman, but a t-rex!"

Dibs on not being the butt muncher
Dibs on being the middle one. Eating ass AND having my ass eaten? Don't threaten me with a good time!
This person gets it.
I mean, probably happens a lot that the bones of different dinosaurs end up next to each other.
Would it happen for every T-Rex fossil in the same way? Well, less likely...
I'm assuming the research more meant that there were 3 cryptic species lumped into what we today call t-rex
Oh yeah, that was my assumption, for sure, too. I was just playing devil's advocate for the trenchcoat theory, because it's funny.
Some power rangers Jurassic Park cross-over?
The dino centipede
The dinopede.
With this drawing the tiny arms make so much more sense now.
Aren’t all the good ones once you take the trench-coat off?
I like that they got up from their bed, took out a peace of paper or opened up krita, drew it, polished it, sent to their phone via photo or email because plugging cable to pc and transferring is unironically harder due to the way android hides their file-system, and posted it.
I would have scanned it on the flatbed scanner hooked up to my desktop. Get off my lawn.
