If dinosaurs evolved from birds, and some birds have throat pouches, is it possible some dinosaurs might have had throat pouches?

This is very well done, like the rest of the #Dinosauria episodes. Great #animation, impeccable #paleontology—or history of paleontology, in this case—and a story about predator-prey conflict that doesn't end the way you expect. I recommend the entire series. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OH57rtnKCEM

The Crystal Palace #dinosaurs don't look like anything that's ever lived on Earth, but they do look like something that could have lived. In retrospect, they're a lot more believable than the upright tail-draggers that dominated #paleoart for most of the following century! So it's good to see them brought to life, even briefly. Somewhere in the #multiverse ...

"The two new #dinosaur species lived approximately 66 million years ago and had short, bulldog snouts and very short arms. They belonged to Abelisauridae, a family of #carnivorous dinosaurs that were counterparts to the #tyrannosaurs of the northern hemisphere."

"The newly-discovered dinosaur species inhabited the coastal ecosystems of eastern #Iberia during the Late #Jurassic epoch, around 150 million years ago. The species grew up to 7 m in length."
