Good that looks nothing like real dinosaur

They seem to be depicting a dromaeosaur https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dromaeosauridae but there are two worse problems other then the animals head missing. Horrible inaccurate reconstruction based on Hollywood movies

1: All theropod dinosaurs wrist were facing horizontal posture in a position resembling a hug or the way a bird flaps it's wings.

2: No feathers. Several species of dromeosaurs were found with direct evidence of fully formed feathers fossilized
as well as quil knobs on their wrist indicating they had had wings, not for flying but display or steering while running.


Velociraptor and Dakotaraptor had direct evidence via Quil Knobs like some bird wings.

Microraptor, Zhenyuanlong Siornithosaurus + more have direct evidence of preserved fossilized feathers.

All Dromeosaurs had fully formed feathers

We really can decide to ditch panic and despair for ever, as we realise that an acceptance of reality will replace them with mere disappointment.

Now, disappointment is quite tough to deal with, but it sure beats the hell out of P & D.
It is a step in the right direction......IMHO.
