Fascinating Thread Of 'Shrink-Wrapped' Animals To Remind You Just How Little We Know About What Extinct Animals Actually Look Like

As people who love animals, we do our very best to learn as much as we can about them. And there is so much to know! These are so many species of animals - living and extinct - that we wish we could know more about. And we try. In our years writing about animals for Animal Comedy, we have learned some fascinating things. We found out how big wolves actually are and what are some of the biggest, most wonderous ocean animals, and we learned the truth about fossils in the Appalachian mountains.

But no matter how much we learn, we know that there is an endless amount more, and we know that even some of the information that we have may not be the most accurate. Which is what we will be exploring today. You may think you know what extinct animals looked like… but do you?

We have to admit that we have not thought about this in the past. We really do depict extinct animals in such weird ways. We all have an image in our minds of what dinosaurs used to look like, but… we have seen skeletons of animals like cats, and those skeletons look nothing like what cats actually look like in real life.

o who know… maybe dinosaurs used to look more like pigeons than like the Jurassic World depictions we have in our heads today. And maybe one day, thousands of years into the future, if cats are extinct for some reason, they will be depicted as evil little goblins in movies and TV shows.
