One's on the bottom, strong is he
Two's in the middle, carrying Three
Three's pretending not to be
3 dinos in a trench coat!
since nobody actually has an explanation yet I'll give my extremely unqualified one (aka, I was sent a tiktok like 2 weeks ago)
Basically they saw big T-rexes and little ones. They assumed the little ones were babies, but now new evidence has shown that they might not be related and they're just a similar looking dinosower
no idea what the third version is, the tiktok didn't go over that one 🤷♀️
I'll let someone else with more experience correct me lol
dinosower
😁
Because of that word, I heard the whole thing in this guy's voice
This makes a lot of sense. Taxonomists are tasked with a difficult job organizing fossils into species. Its why there's like 7 definitions of species. Off the top of my head: shape (morphology), sex (interbreeding), genetics (differences in key genes) with the majority of them existing to categorize extinct species
Also evolution (common genetic pool) and ecology (common niche, environmental pressures and behaviour).
It’s better than three trench coats in a dinosaur.
RIP Neo, Columbo, and Inspector Gadget.
I mean, probably happens a lot that the bones of different dinosaurs end up next to each other.
Would it happen for every T-Rex fossil in the same way? Well, less likely...
I'm assuming the research more meant that there were 3 cryptic species lumped into what we today call t-rex
Oh yeah, that was my assumption, for sure, too. I was just playing devil's advocate for the trenchcoat theory, because it's funny.
Well I believe this has happened. Wasn't brachiosaurus found to be a mashup of multiple species? Or maybe it was a different one...
Dibs on not being the butt muncher
Dibs on being the middle one. Eating ass AND having my ass eaten? Don't threaten me with a good time!
This person gets it.
Alright. I admit it. None of us are actually a Tyrannosaurus Rex.
The size of Mike's ass seems pretty variable lately.
"Think Vincent Adultman, but a t-rex!"
The dino centipede
The dinopede.
With this drawing the tiny arms make so much more sense now.

Some power rangers Jurassic Park cross-over?
I like that they got up from their bed, took out a peace of paper or opened up krita, drew it, polished it, sent to their phone via photo or email because plugging cable to pc and transferring is unironically harder due to the way android hides their file-system, and posted it.
I would have scanned it on the flatbed scanner hooked up to my desktop. Get off my lawn.
Reads like devil man crybaby
What’s this …the Jurassic centipede?
Aren’t all the good ones once you take the trench-coat off?
