Description
Here's my muscle study on dakotaraptor. Dakotaraptor done in markers, white pen, and colored pencils, labels in Illustrator.Note: Since there's little discovered of this animal a lot of this is speculative. Don't take this study as completely accurate.

I hope so too! I'm really curious to see what it looks like. If we ever do i'll go back and make any adjustments to my illustration.

Cool, but for now it's pretty anatomically accurate.

even if its speculative, WHERE'S THE CAUDOFEMORALIS?!

I could be wrong on this, so feel free to correct me, but isn't caudofemoralis a deep muscle? Since I'm illustrating the superficial muscles would it really show? Also would dakotaraptor have that muscle? I thought it was more in Rex's to help with weight and locomotion. I'm still learning, so if I'm wrong please tell me! I'm eager to learn!

alright. you are wrong. its okay. The caudofemoralis is a muscle found in almost all animals with a tail that is for powering the legs. The larger it is, the more powerful the legs are. it connected to the back of the femur and a vertebrae near the middle of the tail when it comes to dinosaurs.

The caudofemoralis was extremely reduced on dromaeosaurs.
They used a muscle connecting to the hip bone instead.

Nice work! Though for future reference, majority of theropod bellies do not bend inwards like that because the gastralia in their skeleton prevents such curvature. evolution-institute.org/wp-con… The red highlights the gastralia, which could be labeled as a 'second set of ribs'. Fun fact, Gastralium are pretty much exclusively found in saurischians! Though perhaps it had occurred that basal Ornithischians had some type of gastralia before it disappeared in the more modern Ornithischians.

Thanks for the information! I wasn't sure if dakotaraptor had gastralias or not, should have just assumed they did. Thanks again!
