Prehistoric Animals:

Since the early 19th century, artists have depicted colorful – if sometimes fictional – animals (especially dinosaurs) and prehistoric environments, mingling science with unbridled fantasy as more and more fossils got uncovered and studied by the archeologists of that time.

It is pretty clear, though, that by only looking at a cluster of fossils such as bones, not much can be said about the appearance of the said animal that existed a long time ago. For example, the prehistoric reptiles could share similar bone structures thus revealing their true appearance was quite a hard task at the time.

However, nowadays, with the help of computers, artists and archeologists alike can get an idea about what these majestic creatures looked like millions of years ago.

A paleoartist known as “Paleorex” on their Instagram shows how various prehistoric animals might’ve looked like millions of years ago by making 3D renders of them.
