From 1881 to 1890, a Chacma baboon named Jack worked as a railway signal assistant in Uitenhage, South Africa, with his owner James “Jumper” Wide, a double amputee who had lost both legs in a train accident. Wide trained Jack to push his trolley, sweep floors, and even operate railway signal levers in response to train whistles.

When a passenger reported a baboon handling the switches, railway officials investigated. Instead of dismissing them, they tested Jack’s skills and discovered he could correctly follow whistle signals and operate the levers with precision. Impressed, the railway officially hired Jack, giving him an employment number, a daily wage of 20 cents, and a weekly beer allowance.

For nine years, Jack never made a single mistake. He passed away in 1890 from tuberculosis, and his skull is preserved at the Albany Museum in Grahamstown as a tribute to his remarkable service.

The Oregon Zoo shared an X-ray of a beaver’s tail, which highlights how misleading fossil-based reconstructions can be. If beavers were known only from their skeletons, their bodies would likely be imagined in a very different way. The same problem applies to dinosaurs.

Fossils preserve only part of the picture. Bone surfaces can show muscle attachment scars, and in rare cases, features like quill k***s reveal the presence of feathers. But most reconstructions lean heavily on skeletons alone, which makes dinosaurs appear overly thin and tightly stretched over their bones.

Palaeoartist C. M. Kosemen argues that this “shrink-wrapped” style is misleading. Dinosaurs, like modern animals, likely carried more fat and soft tissue than they are usually shown with. To demonstrate, he created drawings of modern creatures reconstructed only from their bones—such as a featherless swan with reptilian features or a baboon stripped of fur and skin, its teeth bared.

Kosemen traces this stylized look not to paleontology itself, but to decades of illustrators and Hollywood films that copied each other’s designs without checking real fossils or living analogs. The result was a tradition of depicting dinosaurs as skeletal monsters rather than fleshed-out animals, distorting how people imagine them today.
