Here’s how we might view some modern animals if we only knew them by their fossil records: an elephant, a zebra, and a rhinoceros.
Did you ever wonder, if we only have found a random set of fossilized bones, how do we really know what dinosaurs looked like? Well, most often, we don’t. Sometimes we get small hints in the fossil record at coloration or soft tissue size.
Many of the dinosaurs we marvelled at in 1993’s Jurassic Park have undergone vast re-envisionings since the release of the movie.

This reminds me of a cool book my daughter got me a few years ago -- All Yesterdays: Unique and Speculative Views of Dinosaurs and Other Prehistoric Animals https://app.thestorygraph.com/books/12834205-6aab-41a3-b470-17ce2e3cde38
