Shortly after a Reddit user posted a picture of a seemingly dinosaur-sized crocodile to the site under the heading “They killed this in my friends hometown back in Africa,” posts started popping up questioning the veracity of the photo, followed by responses asking how anyone could fail to recognize the obvious forces at work — namely, the trick of forced perspective.
Ciro è il cucciolo di dinosauro scoperto in Italia a Pietraroja (BN), lungo circa venti centimetri, nel 1998 gli fù dedicata la copertina di Nature. Esemplare unico di dinosauro fossile di cui si siano conservati anche la maggior parte degli organi interni. Il nome Scipionyx samniticus è in onore di Scipione Breislak, il primo geologo che descrisse il giacimento. Avevamo trattato la scoperta in un precedente articolo.
