so my question is more of a community question, but first a litlle background. sadly, most species will or have never be fosilised and therefor never found by archeologists. this means that most biodiversity of the ancient world has been lost to time and can never be accuratly portrayed i stuff like documentaries or posters or other media.
lets say we have a documentary, that has an episode featuring Microraptor. my question is, would you be against seeing multiple species/subspecies of Microraptor or Microraptor-like species in that forrest even though only 1 (maybe 3?) species has been described? kind of like how there are multiple species of parrot in the same forrest or multiple species of corvid in the same city.
how do you see this? do you feel its a good representation of biodiversity or do you feel like its a blatant afront to nature? how would you want it to be represented?
my sincerest thanks upfront!
