Reminder that penguins, along with all other birds, are technically dinosaurs

And it's not just technically: birds literally are theropod dinosaurs, and the only known dinosaurs to survive to modern age

Future archeologists are gonna assume I was skinny 🙌

Eh, not likely, especially for dinosaurs that we have full skeletons of, because that much fat would be seen on the bones as damage from walking.

Who said it's fat, though? Sauropods are interesting in that they had systems of air sacs, like modern birds, that can puff up their apparent size without necessarily adding a lot of weight.

Wait, you mean to tell me a penguin's upper chest is actually its neck? 🤯

[–] BoneDaddy@vlemmy.net 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

wait so if a penguin commits war crimes how do you hang them

His neck is so thick, I feel like he's just gonna swang and dangle around for a really long time
