Description

THIS IS MY STYLE!
Just a speculative/eccentric/experimental idea: an Ouranosaurus colored like a Peacock.
The bright colors and dappled sail could have the dual function of sexual attraction and intimidation against predators.

Pretty sure such dinos with sails like Ouranosaurus, Concavenator, and Spinosaurs used their sails for both sexual attraction and intimidating rivals. But in spinosaurs, it‘s also used to help with swimming


But with dinos like Acrocanthosaurus and Deinocheirus, theirs is not a sail but a hump with muscle attachments similar to that of bisons’
