    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

      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

    It’s better than three trench coats in a dinosaur.

    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.
