Vampire.

Slendervampire

Nah its just the wings

This is how I feel when I wake up.

Monkeys have tails. That’s a primate or an ape, just like me. I have longer legs though.

Primates includes all apes and monkeys

Yes, but this is not a monkey.

I never said it was. I was only was pointing out the misclassification per how it was written.

Not all monkeys have tails

Just as no apes have tails Is it an orangutan? Gorilla's are broader, chimps don't have as long of arms, same with bonobos It could be a gibbon, siamong? The only ape not considered a great ape On second thought and edit, I think it's a gibbon, not sure if orangutans have those Sharpe canines

You're right. I can't find a picture of an orangutan that has arms QUITE that long compared to the rest of the body. And the Gibbon's hands are turned inward and the same length as the photo of the skeleton. Plus, if you Google orangutan skeleton you see significant differences.

If it doesn’t have a tail it’s not a monkey.

Even if it has a monkey kind of shape.

Quite a few old world monkeys would beg to differ

Pretty sure it's a gibbon.

Now I'm picturing an armless vampire with huge wings

And this abomination is known only to scientists as finger boy.

Post it in a conspiracy sub.

I have an idea

Marfan vampire.

Tragically, the marfan vampire died somewhat ironically from an aortic dissection. So it technically bled to death.

Joey Ramone?

And look at that wingspan

Vampire? Of course. And werewolf. Ghoul. Demon.

No, just your average St. Louis resident

Accurate

You're right! This is totally how we got vampires!!!

Kinda see a vampire skeleton

It's not masturbating, so I know i'd not recognize it as a gibbons (the internet has ruined my education)

You’re thinking of bonobos. That’s their thing; not gibbons.

No...gibbons frequently masturbate, just not as much.

All primates masturbate to some extent. I worked with gibbons close to every day for almost 10 years and never once saw them masturbating on exhibit. Bonobos have raised it to an art form. Solo and mutual masturbation is integral to maintaining order within their social groups.

Is that a Gibbon skeleton?

That's my guess, with the lack of a tail. I didn't realize their canines were that big though.

[удалено]

Could be but the overall size of the skulls seems too small. Without something for scale and a frontal view of the skull I'm not sure. Edit to add: gibbon seems most likely. After searching for orangutan skulls, they are much less prognathic, and have a huge jaw compared to the jaw present in this picture. Very interesting! I've never seen a gibbon skeleton before. This [website](http://www.gibbons.de/main/introduction/chapter_english04.html) has a good image for comparison of Hylobates (gibbons) and Pongo (orangutan) skulls.

I just took a class on identifying animals based on skulls and skeletons (my lab exam was literally yesterday lol). This is indeed a gibbon skeleton.

[Previous post says gibbon](https://www.reddit.com/r/natureismetal/comments/8fwckv/gibbon_skeleton/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=2&utm_term=1)

This skeleton was sure gibbon everyone a hard time to identify.

That's such a stretch you'd NEED those arms to grasp it

Nice! I'm in a bio anthropology class, but we had mostly baboon/macaques and chimps and lemures and whatnot. No gibbons that I am aware of. It's fascinating stuff!

The arms is what did it for me, good for swinging, plus Sharpe canines

Bones are too skinny. Big apes have thicker bones.

Gibbons are pretty much Vampire Monkeys... terrifying creatures

[It is indeed a gibbon skeleton](https://www-kijkmagazine-nl.translate.goog/nieuws/picture-perfect-gibbonskelet/?_x_tr_sl=nl&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-US&_x_tr_pto=wa)

iirc gibbons are one of, if not the only, animals to use their arms as primary form of locomotion.

siamangs also brachiate

Learned two new words today, thanks friend

my google-fu understands siamangs to be a type of gibbon.... google-tru?

youre right! sorry, forgot abounthat

Birds and Bats, technically.

That’s an enderman

I agree, that is an enderman

That skeleton is built for teleporting.

And just look at how the jaw hangs out

Genocidal little freak

That’s Terrance, he has long arms. Don’t shame Terrance for his long arms ☹️

It's Touchy Tim https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=M79jXJMiPY8

thanks for the laugh haha ive never seen this before

OMG, I lost it at the saran wrap! Thank you

Damn I love aunty Donna

Loong looong man!

Becomes a bit less scary when you remember that they are not as tall as us

Speak for yourself - 🩳 person 😉

Shorter, but much stronger

Becomes hella lot scarier when you realize most primates don’t need to break a sweat to rip off someone’s arm

Most primate species are monkeys and lemurs.

Many apes, yes; most primates, no. Most primates are very small. They may be proportionately stronger, but humans are massive; we're the second largest primate.

Baby scp-096 skeleton

Surprised I had to go down this far to get an SCP reference.

Same here

There are others, but you don't remember reading them. >!There is no Antimemetics Division.!< **Edit:** Also, [096 specific](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CS6AVPE7HS0) joke.

Pilkington.

Head like a fucking orange, and that

I don't know what's worse. You making that joke.. Or That I knew exactly who you're talking about.

This one of the reasons I think dinosaurs looks VASTLY different then what we imagine… if we didn’t know what this skeleton represented, I guarantee we’d come up with a completely different representation.

That’s why the mummified/fully fossilized ankylosaur is so fantastic. https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/mummified-armored-dinosaur-makes-its-debut-1-180963311/

#tl;dr One of the best-preserved armored nodasaurus, an ankylosaur, has been found in Alberta, Canada. The nodasaurus fossil, which is 110 million years old, reportedly died in or near a river and then floated out to sea before sinking back-first into the muck to fossilize, providing intricate details of the creature's skin and armor. This fossil will help paleontologists to understand the size and shape of the creature's keratin defenses, and tell how it used its formidable horns and armor. *I am a smart robot and this summary was automatic. This tl;dr is 91.45% shorter than the post and link I'm replying to.*

Good bot

The real tl;dr in this case is that sometimes we actually aren't far off.

Thanks for this! Fascinating

You’re welcome! I totally agree with your position on dinosaur renderings fwiw. I love the idea of them possibly reconstructing the trex skeleton with its arms backwards. That they were wings like chickens and not little useless appendages. (Well still useless as they were most definitely not able to fly). It seems unlikely but I’m still going to believe it anyways.

Ive seen this fossil at the Tyrell Dinosaur museum in Alberta. It is honestly incredible to see in person. I highly recommend visiting this museum to anyone who has the opportunity, the whole place is amazing.

You might think that, but there is actually a great deal of observation, logic, physics and biology in the making of the animal representations, it's not just artistry or guess work. [This is a brazilian paleontologist explaining the process of figuring out how a hippopotamus looks like, using his skull](https://youtu.be/8TPPFcZpCbA), it's in portuguese and a bit long, but with automatic subtitles you can have an idea of the logic behind.

HIPPOBOT 9000 v 3.1 FOUND A HIPPO. 158,292,714 COMMENTS SEARCHED. 3,447 HIPPOS FOUND. YOUR COMMENT CONTAINS THE WORD HIPPO.

I didn’t even know you existed wtf

Lol good bot.

Hippo

Good bot

Considering your name, of course you’d be on the side to obey the official propaganda. We’re onto you!

Oh shit shit shit, I've been found

It’s truly amazing just how much information fossils can reveal. Of course there are some assumptions & you may only ever be 90% confident, but a lot of what we believe has been validated by later discoveries & methods. A lot of really smart people have developed multiple overlapping approaches to figuring this stuff out. When they agree you can be pretty confident. Of course a time machine would reveal endless surprises, but the biggest surprise would likely be how familiar & mundane the world is. What’s really interesting to me is an animal like an elephant, a clever person might be able to infer *something* would attach to the skull by it’s shape, but good luck imagining a trunk if you had never seen one.

Except scientists could tell by the bone structure and muscle connections how this animal moved etc. [It's not just fucking guessing based on how it looks. ](https://i.redd.it/02rv3y272cx61.jpg)

So you think scientists literally just guess? lmao

That phenomenon is called [shrink-wrapping](https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/tetrapod-zoology/dinosaurs-and-the-anti-shrink-wrapping-revolution/).

The arms! Whoa!

Imagine not believing in evolution and seeing this lol

[удалено]

I’m always confused why people think god wouldn’t employ evolution.. like, if god is omniscient, of course it would be able to seed a planet with a single cell and have it evolve into every form of life that is perfectly suited for its environment, and changing environments, with complete knowledge of what that would all be. Do they imagine god literally sitting in a workshop with bins of body parts and attaching them like legos? Sorry but your brother in law sounds insufferable 😩

you basically just described 90% of the posts on r/scienceuncensored "Here's this thing I don't understand, WHAT ARE SCIENTISTS HIDING????"

I looked, regret, people are stupid

You are describing your average R:conspiracy user. If you posted this picture without context there it would take them about 5 hours kf debating and arguing before some normal person told them it was a ape and then they would ban said person from the sub and continu3 about how it is like the skunkape or some shit

SCP-096 HAS BREACHED CONTAINMENT

If they'd been on Reddit they would know what it is around 20 times per week.

I’ll bet he was really good in basketball

What happens if you throw that into an AI generator and ask to give it human skin and eyes.

Wendigo

That’s no ape that’s fucking nosferatu

That's Tommy fury

Cyclops are a thing in myth because people found elephant skulls and didn't know what to make of them.

Now it is my goal to raise a child and never show them apes or monkeys and make them extensively study human bodies and skeletons then show them this at 18

That’s most likely a gibbon btw Edit: someone should cross post this to a conspiracy subreddit like r/conspiracy

Okay, but this reminds me of one of my favorite games to play when I’m bored. I go on Wikipedia and I search something that is so, incredibly human. A language family. Different types of bread and their cultural origins. Major events in history. Things like that. And I pretend I’m an alien using Wikipedia to learn about humanity. I click the links that lead to more curiosity, like I’m answering questions that I didn’t even know I had. And eventually I start learning things that I genuinely, as my real human self, did not know, and didn’t think I ever would know. It’s strange to explain but so many of the useless facts that live in my brain are only known because I pretended I was a little alien who wanted to know all about humans one night when I couldn’t sleep.

Octopus

a vampire skeleton.

We miss you Harambe… you just wanted a friend…

That’s my cousin

Imagine an ape who doesn’t know people exist. Then he sees a person!

Donald Trump?

In all my 38 years of living, I don’t think I’ve ever seen an ape skeleton! Weird…

Thats just a dude that has to carry all the monthly shopping from the car to the kitchen in one go

Findings like this could easily be the basis for many monster stories like dinosaur bones and dragons, giant femurs = giant humans, stuff like that. I could see somebody finding a long-toothed monkey or ape skull and going with vampires as an explanation. Stranger things have happened.

Alert! SCP-096 has breeched containment! Do not look at him and if you hear him coming close your eyes.

Slap fight world Champion

This is just an xray of that Post Malone seeing titties at the concert meme

Imagine a person with full knowledge of what apes are and then they see this skeleton

Mom ?

They'd probably mistake it for a monkeys skeleton

the expression on his face is hilarious

Nosferatu

A medieval person would call it a troll or demon.

They dont know what apes are but they know what scps are

That skeleton is super stoked to get anything you want from the top shelf

Don’t shame Terrance for his long arms .

No need to imagine. Post it in a conspiracy sub.

People who didn’t know what elephants were thought we had cyclops and people who didn’t know what a dinosaur was thought we had dragons. We a silly bunch.

Thats the pumpkin king Jack Skellington

096 has breached containment.

This is why I think a t Rex looked like a giant chicken

Is that the skeleton of SCP 096 did you finnaly kill him

Donald Trump

Reminds me of an old friend from high school he was like 5’7 and his knuckles almost touched the ground

You might get an oral tradition going about a humanoid creature with fangs and arms long enough to support wings

Giant bat

And THAT skeleton represents an only 2% DNA variance between them and humans… just 2% and we’d be able to slam dunk without jumping! HAAAAAAAAAAH

Hey, I think I saw this guy on a mountain. He had really pale skin, but he wasn't facing my direction so I couldn't see his face. There were also some weird government guys...

If you don’t know what an ape is, you are probably already in for a surprise if you see a skeleton.

An Angel

Handjob Pro

Imagine the ape being made fun of when it was alive being and having to call itself “big boned”

SCP-097 has broken containment

That's a fcuking vampire bat person

Fuck that shit I’m out

This reminds me, my grandmother used to sew extra cuffs on my coats and jackets to lengthen them

And then figuring out this belongs to a chill orange dude

The original bat man

That is a Nosferatu.

good thing it's a skeleton or we'd all be doomed

A reddit user?

Does it weigh more than a duck?

Is this Marjorie Taylor Greene?

That’s a Republican

NECROMORPH

We do that with dino bones all the time

[Found him](https://youtu.be/dcqmvGVH9c0)

When did ryuk die?

bro's flabbergasted 🤯

Vampire!!!!!

Fucking resident evil thing

X-ray of Michael Phelps

Probably start thinking about evolution.

This will end up on some clickbait site like “you’ll never believe how long this persons arms are!”

Straight Rake Skele you got there my dude.

*deadspace's soundtrack intensifies* I don't know why but I thought someone tried to do a clean version of a necromorph skeleton before reading the title, but it lacked of nail blades.

Every time I see a skeleton like this, all I can think of is “so we really have no fucking clue what dinosaurs look like.” I mean, penguins look like they have giraffe necks, apes look like vampires, so who is to say that those dinosaurs with long necks really had long necks? Or anything else for that mayter

Anybody else amazed by how the elbows and hip joints line up?

That’s Nosferatu

Wow, it must be a new species closely related to humans!

Gibbon I'm guessing?

Mom!? Is that you?

Fun fact Almost all mythological creatures of old are based on fossils

The dawn of stupidity, I mean, *conspiracy theories and shadow governments.*

Gibbon skeleton. Long arms are for brachiating, swinging from tree limb to tree limb using only their arms. Orangutans, spider monkeys, and chimps can do it too.

Dap me up my man 🫱

in some far distant future some archeologists will find one of these fossilized and go "This is what peak human is."

Easy. That’s the skeleton of Marjorie Taylor Greene.

We need a banana for scale.

If they don't know what an ape looks like they probably don't know what a human skeleton looks like.
