Hmm I dunno, take a look at any bird-of-paradise or male peacock and tell me that the dinosaur's descents aren't beautiful.

The reality is we have a very loose idea of what dinosaurs really looked like, because what remains of them is so many millions of years old that it's decayed completely, or if we're exceptionally lucky - been fossilized. Feathers, skin, colours, fluorescences, bio-luminescence - 99.9999% lost to time, and could have been very beautiful.

Hello, I am a mammalian predator known as the Papillose woolly bat.

Ah, this is why I love Lemmy.

They’re super small, so either behind the ears or obscured by the fur.

Here’s a picture of one from a different angle. You can see how small the eyes are.

Damn, thay're so ugly that they're cute

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

They might be covered by the ear? I'm not sure, they definitely have eyes — but they are very small.

Don't forget the mammalian ~~predator~~ fruit predator the wrinkle faced bat, a creature so ugly its face has a foreskin.

Edit: oops. They're frugivores!

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 days ago (2 children)

I thought they were exclusive fruit eaters.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

fruit bats exclusively eat fruits, the "microbats" are the ones that hunt.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Ohhhh shit, you're right! They're... Uh... Fruit predators, stalking the wild papaya.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

This is a glorious save. Well done.

How do we know OP isn't a lizard person trying to throw us off their scent?

What I love so much about this episode is that I'm 99% sure the actor in the suit can't see a damn thing. He's just bumbling around in the desert heat, trying to hit his marks, while straining to hear Shatner and the director through all the sweat and foam rubber.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 days ago

Seriously, lol. Whenever you hear interviews by actors talking about their heavily costumed roles, they talk about it like it's war trauma. I bet this dude was having a bad day.

Also, I always laugh when I see costumes that can't bend at the neck and have to turn like this. Reminds me of Batman.

They are actually a lizard person who is also a furry

Queue mamalia vs mamalia imaged from fossils

Edit: queue or cue?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 days ago

Cue, to actually answer your question.
