It’s perhaps easier to err on the side of caution and go easy on the soft tissue. If you were confronted with an elephant skull, you would have no idea that it actually possessed a 6-foot tube-like prehensile nose, nor would you expect it to be quite so thick and wrinkly.Ī large part of the problem comes from being forced to guess the amount of soft tissue that would be wrapped around the bone.
Take his reimagining of an elephant (above left). A re-imagining of an elephant (left), a horse (top right), and a rhino (bottom right) based on their skeletons. Kosemen, an Istanbul-based illustrator and paleoartist, has created a series of illustrations re-imagining our planet’s present-day animals as if they were depicted by artists who had no living inspiration to go by.Īs you can see, they are way off the mark – and often downright terrifying.
