Feathers?

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.

Gotta be about third after humans and mosquitoes.
Chihuahuas are scary af. They could easily be on second or third.

Kind of hard to maintain that bulk on leaves and grass, bud. I guess it would help them with predators, though.
True, that's why elephants hunt lions for protein.

What if it was reaaaaally fluffy down?

The thing about chihuahuas is they get other dogs to do their dirty work
Caramena said a pack of three dogs dug under two six-inch chainlink fences to reach the communal animal enclosure on the night of Jan. 19. Happy Hollow staff members found the slaughtered equines covered in bite marks the following morning.
The third canine, a chihuahua, has not been caught but is "not considered a threat.

Damn! I was hoping they were friend-shaped this whole time. The babies look kinda cute at least.

This post did not contain any content.
There are markers on the bones based on fat weight. This wasn't known originally when creating the "Jurassic Park Bullshit" dinosaurs though.

Also elephants.

Scary, but not a serious threat.
You can kick a Chihuahua pretty far, a hippo suffers from no such vulnerability.

Depends on the amount.
I'd rather fight against 1 hippo than the equivalent body weight in chihuahuas.

A hippo would definitely be preferable. A fast and brutal death is preferable to getting your ankles bit out from under you by a thousand Chihuahua.

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?
All Yesterdays is exactly this. The first half reimagines dinos from how we traditionally view them (leaning into things like feathers and a t-rex sleeping) and the second half reinterprets contemporary fauna based on their skeletons to demonstrate how wrong we might be about dinos. It's a great coffee table book.

Okay, but would you rather fight a pack of Chihuahuas or an equivalent number of mini-hippos?

I think even scientists from the 80's and 90's were able to tell where some connective tissue would have been. So while they got the skin wrong, the overall shape wouldn't be TOO far off. Also, Jurassic Park is what Hollywood thought dinosaurs looked like, not necessarily palentologists.
To me, this article feels more like "We have an extremely limited idea of the amount of knowledge scientists have. Here's what a bunch of animals would look like if they were drawn by an idiot like we believe palentologists to be." Like, some of those are clearly trying to deliberately get it wrong, like the house cat.
Then again, it is BuzzFeed. It's not like they base their "journalism" on anything except feels.

Would the hippos be chihuaha-sized? Then, without question, the hippos. There's no way they can make sounds as annoying as an angry chihuaha, let alone a horde.

I don't think getting chewed to death is fast. I'd rather fight the chihuahuas 1000x

Lion's eat Wathogs, Gazelle, Zebra and sometimes birds.
Giraffe and Elephants are likely to kill a lion.
Also an elephant's height is like 14 feet max. Brachiosaurus height was 50 feet.

The largest land animal today is an african elephant which is 14 feet tall. Brachiosaurus was 50 feet tall. They would need to eat an order of magnitude more because the cost of mobility increases with weight.
Penguins, seals, and whales (and to a lesser extent hippos) can maintain this ratio because it gives them bouyancy while travelling in water.
Plus, Hippos and Elephants are actually pretty big boned.

Can confirm. We had an infestation of house hippos last year and didn't even notice them until half way through winter and realizing all of our mittens were missing.

We are talking up to 2,000 Chihuahua that are determined to fight you at the cost of their lives. They will not get scared, they will not run, they understand it is you or them and there are 10,000lbs of them.
