minor request but could u draw a taco pls(psittacosaurus)

i’d die to see one in your art style

how about three? One of the most complete constructions we have of near any dinosaur, Taco's are an extremely fun ceratopsian! When I was doing my run in Paleo Pines, I remember how fun it was to run through the little pack of them near the town and watch them scatter like little birds and then regroup as I ran further.

Waaay back in 2nd grade my teacher had us write a book called "My Pet Dinosaur", describing what we would do if we could have any dinosaur as a pet. This being the early 90s and having freshly watched Jurassic Park, I decided to skip the T rexes and sauropods, wanting something that would fit in my house and wouldn't eat me. So, I got out my trusty 1987 "Dinosaurs!" Childcraft Annual to pick something more practical, and decided on Psittacosaurus.

^ the illustration in the 1987 book, versus this recent, much more accurate depiction by Bob Nicholls.

So, three decades later, I found the ever-talented @bookrat and their incredible paleo taxidermy art blog. I knew I wanted to commission them, so I decided to fulfill a childhood dream at the same time! I chose a model of a psittacosaurus hatchling because the 14 inch hatchling would take up far less space than a 4 foot long adult, and actually be in my budget. I asked for a green color because of the 1987 illustration above, but more accurate and less mock turtle, lol.

it came out gorgeous! I have my new "pet" here posing adorably with two of my actual-factual pets. Thank you again @bookrat for your beautiful work! I'll have to get a collar soon to take more pics :)

EDIT: This is blowing up, so make you're liking and reblogging @bookrat 's post too, and check out all their other art and dino models!

A group of visionaries have figured out how to bring nonavian dinosaurs to the present, and have determined the 10 species that make the best pets and domesticated them, with an oversimplified guide to what modern pet/livestock/husbandry animals they resemble most. you have done the work, you're completely prepared, and today, you're bringing your new friend home.

you will be able to take care of the pet and they will become your best friend for the rest of your lives. there are no downsides to any of these pets apart from what is in the brief description.

the pets, with image descriptions indicating which is which and artist credit, with artist links attached:

[ The fossilised remains of a Psittacosaurus, an Early Cretaceous ceratopsian, and Repenomamus, one of the largest mammals during the Mesozoic. ]

"When dinosaurs ruled the Earth, we tend to think of the mammals at the time — including our distant ancestors — as small and quivering in the shadows. "We've always had this picture of mammals as the literal underdogs," says Elsa Panciroli, a paleontologist at the Oxford University Museum of Natural History. "They're being trampled. They're cowering in the darkness at night, just trying to avoid being eaten." But a remarkable new fossil, originating in the early Cretaceous some 125 million years ago and now described in the journal Scientific Reports, conjures a rather different possibility. It consists of two intertwined skeletons — an upstart mammal sinking its teeth into a much larger dinosaur. "Our best guess is that the mammal was in the middle of attacking the dinosaur," says Jordan Mallon, one of the authors of the new study and a paleobiologist at the Canadian Museum of Nature. If true, such a revelation shakes our traditional view of dinosaur domination and mammal submission. It suggests a more complex ancient food web in which certain dinosaurs were prey and some mammals were predators. In the case of this particular fossil that was unearthed in modern-day northeast China, "this mammal appears to have been particularly gutsy or voracious," Mallon says."

Fun fact: all dinosaurs have eyebrows!

In Saurischia, it was just soft tissue called supraorbital ridge, attached from prefrontal/lacrimal bone to postorbital. But in basal Ornithischia it were additionally supported by a dermal (it's likely osteoderm) palpebral/adlacrimal bone, and in derived herbivores brow arches ossified in tough supraorbitals. Some reptilians & birds still have this lil bony! I think in Saurichia it may also get ossified, or osteoderm "horns" took its place, but I didn't find paper about

Here's article about this, I read only main points. I advise who lazy read under Figures (diagrams) and Discussion chapter:
