    Fossils many times are more than bones and we get actual imprints of their whole tail or other parts of them

    No. This was created by someone who has no idea how any of this work. Soft tissues leave marks on bones.

    Sure but also there are some fossils that DO have skin, and some even have preserved organs. And some have feathers, which is a pretty good indicator that there wasn’t some large feature we’re missing.

    No doubt we are wrong on lots of counts, but I think we have good evidence for a lot of it as well.

    They look at related and similarly adapted modern animals when trying to make visualizations of fossils, it’s not all just guessing.
