JURASSIC PARK (1993) dir. Steven Spielberg
this image of Mongolia's best known paleontologist, Altangerel Perle, standing in between the fossilized arms of Deinocherius is undeniably the most powerful image in paleontological history
The thing with Deinocherius was for the longest time, paleontologists only knew it from the arms. We had no clue what it might've been like, what it ate, what it did, nothing.
That was until a few years ago when we got a better idea of what it looked like
It's a duck. A big, giant duck.
So there is Altangerel Perle, renowned paleontologist with numerous species under his belt, wrapped in the embrace of a giant 13+ foot tall duck and he still somehow manages to make himself look like the coolest motherfucker this side of the Holocene
