If you are interested in Megalodon and all other prehistoric sharks (and let’s face it, who isn’t?) there is a new book coming Feb 9th that you have to get! I was lucky enough to be commissioned to illustrate this amazing book wonderfully written by Dr. Jack Cooper #paleoart #sharks #sciart

I have just learned of #Boktober, the marvellous brainchild of @kamakru.bsky.social, and goodness, it might as well be tailor-made for me. I have in actual fact already been thinking of returning to the hens again, so this feels doubly fortuitous. 🤩🐔

Dinosaur fact: All dinosaurs are cool and there is no such thing as an overrated dinosaur. There is also no basic answer to what your favorite dinosaur is. All dinosaurs deserve love.

They had a body temperature similar to ours at about 36 degrees celsius (97 degrees fahrenheit). They didn’t roar. Instead they more likely let out a rumbling sound similar to modern crocodiles. Despite their arms being small, they were still incredibly strong and they still used them.

T. rex lived closer in time to us then it did Stegosaurus. Stegosaurus was already fossils by the time T. rex was walking around. Despite certain media (looking at you Jurassic Park) T. rex actually had FANTASTIC eyesight. If it was looking at you, it was LOOKING AT YOU. 👇👇

Happy birthday to T. rex! On October 4th 1905 paleontologist Henry Osborn officially named and described the T. rex. So here’s some fun facts in honor of the most popular dinosaur in history: T. rex is actually much more closely related to a pigeon than it is to Ankylosaurus. 👇👇

Monk parakeets living in a colony at an electrical transformer station just outside of Dallas, TX. These guys like it hot so the transformer stations are right up their ally. Oct 3, 2018

A bright green parakeet with white breast and throat and an orange-yellow beak stands atop a pile of twigs and looks back over its shoulder towards the camera.

Two more monk parakeets look out from the space between two steel girders of an electrical transformer station tower.

Two monk parakeets are perched atop a steel girder.

Map of North showing known location of monk parakeet colonies in the United States. They all came from birds escaping or being released from the pet trade during the 1960s and 1970s. I recall reading that some of them escaped from crates that were dropped by freight handlers at airports. At any rate, that's why they're here and why they're concentrated in such widely separated parts of the country.

It appears that Tromerosaurus lived alongside another Tyrannosaur. Daspletosaurus, which as I stated is a member of the Tyrannosaurinae family. And that alone is super interesting. This year has brought so many exciting dino news and I can’t wait to see what else we learn 🦖

Albertosaurinae has dinosaurs like Albertosaurus and Gorgosaurus. Tyrannosaurinae has dinosaurs like T. rex and Daspletosaurus. Tromerosaurus is closely related to T. rex in the way they are both Tyrannosaurids but its apart of the Albertosaurinae family. But wait because it gets cooler! 👇👇

Wake up nerds, a new Tyrannosaur has just been described! Tromerosaurus solumons. It was an Albertosaurine that lived in the Late Cretaceous in what is now Canada. If you don’t know, the Tyrannosauridae family is broken into two main groups. Albertosaurinae and Tyrannosaurinae.
