Looks like a turtle without its shell. Are the scientists sure it didnt have a shell made of cartilage thats been lost to time?
I don’t know where this particular fella fits in the history, but turtles evolved from similar quadruped reptiles. Basically, their ribs evolved flat and wide so that their chests could support them better while burrowing tunnels. That turned into the turtle plastron.
Huh the more u know
Direct descendent:
Okay so is this photoshopped or what’s going on here
hormones
Also, repeated liposuction and no exercise.
we probably just have the bones of the weirdest-looking critter in the species
uncanny resemblance
I feel like this is one of those models we’re completely wrong about.
Yeah this looks like a stupid degree of shrink wrapping of the neck.
It looks like it was made in Spore
If turtle shells were on the inside.
Turtle shells are already on the inside. The entire surface of their shells is skin!
So they’re more naked than I thought…
It’s like a turtle without the turtle part
You know what, I feel like the shell part of the turtle is best represented by the “turt” part of the world turtle. It just looks the way “turt” sounds.
So a turtle without it’s shell I think should start to be called a “le” (pronounced like in the world turtle), which represents very well, as a sound, a “turt”-less turtle

I also just noticed that the first “t” could be the legs and the tail of the turtle, while the “l” are the front legs and the “e” is the head and mouth.
Meaning that the shell part would actually be “urt”.
More research is going to be needed to figure out this one.
Looks like Elon musk as

Yes it is.
I don’t understand how they used it correctly and then didn’t
Is he voiced by danny devito?
I can picture it now. An Ice Age movie where Sid, Manny, and Diego are hanging around a bar and this chonky boy shows up out of nowhere and makes an outrageous claim. Queue “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” music.
It’s shaped like a cheeseburger. I’ll call it Americanis.
