    I think that many of the people who do depictions of prehistoric creatures lack imagination so they do the bare minimum they possibly could to “imagine” the skeleton as a living creature. Imagination is absolutely required to get a good depiction of them that looks lifelike and not creepy and unrealistic.

      Any which way they go with it would be a guess based on limited information. They’re most likely going to be wrong, and if they were exactly right, we wouldn’t know it.

        Honestly they should probably do like 2-3 potential pictures side by side so readers are aware of the uncertainty.
