I like dinosaurs, and wildlife. I may also post on some cryptid related things, probably rarely. Link Tree: linktr.ee/ankylotar

Ceratosaurus was one of the animals placed on Site B that wasn't on Ingen's list(s). They created new breeds and sent the other animal to the Valley secretly hidden in Italy, where no nobody would find them.
A Ceratosaurus faces towards, with a Quilliam photobombing him in the back.A cool color tone version of the same image. A Ceratosaurus walks out of the thorny bush with a blurry photobombing raptor that thinks you can't see him, in the background, naturally blurry as he escapes the depth of field.

Evolution of Dimetrodon depictions through the years. I was interested in putting this together, since it went from scaly to skinny to scaly again.
Various Dimetrodon depictions from 1897 to now, from a belly dragging scaly thing to a almost mammal on a non mammalian skeleton back to a scaly synapsid thanks to some basking impressions.

Was just asked by local Montanans to "Go Out There & Stop This Insane Logging, Llama!" i replied, i am Standing Down, again. No One CAME, not even you two when i needed help. Public groups mocked me being SHOT AT by Loggers & turned their back on Frontline Defenders. So, No. I can not. I'll Train u!
Camo Drone & equipment of DeforestationPatrol, JUST ran off into woods actively dodging Armed Loggers now searching for me, Took of pack to repack gear & Safie Selfie for Lawyers use if needed. Loggers building the new 5mile logging road into ancient untouched EVER Oldgrowth Forest. Destroying wolf creek here & putting in a drainage pipe because i informed upon it to USFS...On Hottest Day in Human History, loggers worked at Night to destroy American National Forest. While in daytime all people were banned from Public Lands due to Fire Danger...ClearCut unit #64 2nd growth forest, however the other 42 logging units were OLDGROWTH FOREST uphill from here...

there are no pictures, so it's as good as rumor. The thing is there are exceptionally large ice age owls known form more complete skeletons, the flightless one in Cuba (Ornimegalonyx) and the Caribbean barn owl which was bigger than the modern ones.

I wonder if the Ladd's owl size estimates/guesses were a bit exaggerated, I mean looking at the fig on the paper the beak symphysis isn't that different in size from some of the big owls of today, but it does look distinct. I heard of big owl bones being found in Mexico, but

Word from CinemaCon is that End Of Oak Street has feathered dinosaurs 🤞 CinemaCon reports aren't always reliable though. Remember the "fire breathing rex" for Rebirth???? lol Obviously that was crazy and feathered dinosaurs aren't, but I can't fully believe it until I see it 👀

There's a wall clock with him on it... for some reason. There's a store near me that sells it, but I think [hope] it's only because it was unsold stock they got. There's a bunch of 'trump' named pillows nobody bought as well. They buy stuff for real cheap and sell it.

Gallimumus in the desert- I wanted to try different habitats, particularly open ones.
2 (Jurassic parky) gallimimus among some rocks in a desert environment. The foreground one has blue and red stripe patterns. a closeup of the head and ground of a presumably male gallimimus, nothing to eat on the ground. After I checked several weeks later I realized this is not the right environment for Galli's, I could do a floodplain someday.

I found 2 more recently- The parasaur and stego. Only one really missing is the dimetrodon, which looked like a shrunk version of the kenner dimetrodon.
A mini stegosaurus, dark green (left), and grey parasaurolophus with airbrushed red over it's back (right).
