    Kind of hard to maintain that bulk on leaves and grass, bud. I guess it would help them with predators, though.

      Interesting thought, but don't penguins have feathers for insulation from cold weather so without the feathers they probably look less chunky.

        Hippos and rhinos get pretty big on that diet! If anything plants are a better diet for something really chunky because plants cannot run away

          Hippos are also deceptively docile looking creatures

              Isn't this a while thing? Where archeologists have drawn alternative interpretations of what dinosaurs could have looked like. I think there was a famous example, where red they got people to.draw a dinosaur from a hippo skeleton and the creature was really scary looking?

                  They have a good idea how much the big sauropods might have weighed based on fossilized foot prints and bone structure. Still, if something is not preserved in the fossil record it will not be shown in reconstructions.

                    Wouldn't that mean T-Rex actually looked cuddly and friend shaped?

                                  Isn't it primarily fat rather than feathers?

                                        They probably have some fat as well, but penguins are mostly insulated by their special feathers, which are adapted to prevent the cold water from actually reaching the skin.
