The Dinosauroid: my two cents

Description

Inspired by [link] .

I think that the theory of what dinosaurs would look like if they evolved to the level oh uman intelligence put forth in this article is incorrect. My belief here is that neither Nemo Ramjet's nor Dale Russel's dinosauroids come close to the truth. However, both have good ideas. Like Dale, I believe the dinosauroid would have had a shorter neck to better support the brain cage, as well as a shorter snout. It would walk semi-upright, in a sort of diagonal position. Like Nemo's, I covered mine in feathers, since this has been accepted as fact. The tail would be shortened, but not to the point of being invisible like in Russel's model. Instead I gave my dinosauroid a sort of stump, like the Yilane had in the "West of Eden" books. The arms would be long and grasping, since I think the theory that evolved dinosaurs would grasp things with their feet is not possible. I'm sure they would have used their hands, had they been allowed to evolve.

The funny thing is this creature sort of resembles the death-runners in Joe DeVito's "Kong: King of Skull Island" novel. Ironic, huh?
