This paleontological restoration is inaccurate, or its accuracy is disputed.
Reason: Seems to have too large a head, and it doesn't appear to have the correct shape: it should be more triangular, and bear a fairly prominent constriction. The teeth should also extend back behind the eyes, and seem to have been drawn curiously small [1][2]. The forelimbs may also be lacking in flesh.
