>>20977779>but so many mistakes have been made about fossils in the past it's not impossible that a mistake like that could be made.They didn't have the knowledge and machinery we have today.
For example they thought sauropods were too big to live on land and probably lived in water like whales today, using their long necks to go for air.
They know today the reason they could sustain their weight was they had hollow pneumatic bones akin to birds. They weighed about half a mammal of the same size would. Pic somewhat related.
