andytak3740 1 Posted April 7, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2019 Love the feathered Tyrannosaur. Though the breakfast bit was quite detailed... Gonna stay away from cheese for a few days. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

fahrquad 82 Posted April 7, 2019 Report Share Posted April 7, 2019 I wish the chicken skeleton was more upright, but you can see the similarities. The enlarged sternum (breastbone) on the chicken is an evolutionary development for anchoring flight muscles. https://www.google.com/search?q=chicken+and+theropod+skeletons&tbm=isch&source=univ&client=firefox-b-1-d&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjTx-Lr5b7hAhUNVa0KHXvHAOIQsAR6BAgJEAE&biw=1366&bih=626#imgrc=3gHTDaeFjeMmaM: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
