As an acutal non-joke answer this tumblr has a bunch of explanations of how our understanding of individual dinosaurs evolved over time!



Some pretty fun stuff!

What the gently caress

quote:

Still, Quetzalcoatlus was very big, and when standing on all fours it was probably similar in size and shape to a modern giraffe, about 6m tall (~20’) with at least half of its height just being its neck. It had limb proportions more like an ungulate mammal than most other pterosaurs, suggesting it was highly adapted for walking and running around on the ground – but it could also catapult itself up into the air using its powerful forelimbs to take flight.

Holy poo poo, a 6m tall flying giraffe that hunts prey like storks. That's loving terrifying, jesus christ.
