There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

Hmmm, I never really looked into the debate regarding the Ibrahim et al. study. I think I've found what you are talking about @genao87, you've opened the doors to a good discussion.

I found this critique by Scott Hartman: http://www.skeletaldrawing.com/home/ther...rus9112014

Then it looks like Ibrahim et al. made a skeleton out of different specimens, that's a major problem. 

"John Hutchinson, a palaeontologist at the Royal Veterinary College of the University of London, is less convinced. He worries about the reliability of cobbling together different specimens to create a single picture of an animal. “We have to be careful about creating a chimera,” he says. “It’s really exciting speculation, but I’d like to see more-conclusive evidence.” - Source
