Why are the reconstructions big and ugly? Why are creatures from other planets almost always ugly in films? We have no idea what they would look like so why could they not be attractive or at least presentable.

But why? Under what sort of conclusions would they re-create them that way?

Putting the "alien" bit aside, it's pretty cool to see that the cuter the animal, the more killy teeth it often has!

The person who came up with this must have flunked biology and assumes everyone else did too. Wow. Incredibly bad job

So basically this teaches us the cuteness effect of blubber.

As several others have mentioned, this is why I question the reconstruction of an entire dinosaur based on a handful of fragments- wildly speculative imho.

Haha, I loved those memes, I'm glad to see them all reunited

images of t-rex n raptor probably having wide ears n round cheeks kept popping in my head now

These are so cool

Fantastic post! Thanks.

What if dinosaurs were just giant cats?

This begs the question - how many of the long extinct animals were reconstructed incorrectly, based only on their skeletons, by OUR scientists? Maybe T-Rex was just a big fluffy misunderstood bunny?

I wouldn't have been able to guess very many of these animals based on the photos of the skulls. Very amazing.

So this was satire and not meant to be serious, right? Um... right?

So in my head, I'm just imagining the alien made ones are just as small as the skull or skeleton would allow.

Give me a break. No alien intelligence that has the capabilities to travel here and look at these skulls, is going to be stupid enough to "reconstruct" ONLY the most popular human sci-fi creatures from them. Only a ditzy human with too much time on their hands and a ridiculous penchant for sci-fi would "reconstruct" them like that.

My zoology teacher used to say that if there were no elephants still alive today, but we found mammoth skulls, we'd wonder how on earth they ate. Would we have reconstructed a tentacle nose?

These designs scream HUMAN CREATION all over them. Dark, destructive, demonic, etc. First of all, aliens aren’t one species. There are many, just as different from each other as they are to humans. Most of them are highly intelligent beings who would NEVER think in the dark and destructive way humans are thinking. NEVER!!

Most of these are more like: How can we make up a fantasy creature with minimum similarity to the displayed skull.

Well, that’s 3 minutes of my life completely wasted. Did a 7 year old make this article? Very, very poor & disappointing.
