Death Stare- Dino Doodles

I think crow-like beady eyes on dinosaurs are criminally underused.

Also hooded crows are underappreciated.

This was supposed to be a "scary feathered dinosaurs" piece but turned out cute.

[Image description: A stylized digital drawing of four styracosaurus by the sea. In the top right corner of the drawing, a dark gray adult styracosaurus with light gray eyes & darker markings similar to a diamondback rattlesnake is lying in shade provided by a palm tree and watching two juveniles, a grayish greenish one with pale blue-green eyes & dark brown freckles charging at her clutchmate who is brown with pale freckles all over and bright blue eyes. In the bottom right corner of the drawing, a blue-gray styracosaurus with darker gray freckles and pale green eyes is also watching them, only her head visible. There is also a fern & two bushes in the background, and everyone is smiling. End of image description]

I did another quest on primeval age! peater & gwenn love to play fight ^w^

the adult styracosaurus in the top right corner is maeve, who was designed by mechanic-drone and belongs to aegis

the adult styracosaurus in the bottom right corner is pisces, a primeval age npc who was designed by goblingrins

the little greenish styracosaurus charging her brother is gwenn, who was designed by & belongs to sollyraptor

and the little brown styracosaurus standing his ground is peater, my own character that i designed myself!

June's Fossil of the Month - Lesothosaurus (Lesothosaurus diagnosticus)

Family: Lesothosaurus family (Lesothosauridae)

Time Period: 199-190 Million Years Ago (Early Jurassic)

Living in what is now Lesotho and South Africa during the very early Jurassic, Lesothosaurus diagnosticus is a small species of non-avian dinosaur believed to be among the earliest ornithischians, an order of dinosaurs that, though only distantly related to birds, had bird-like hip joints, and who's later members included the ceratopsians (a group of typically large, quadrupedal dinosaurs with prominent facial horns and bony head crests, including Triceratops and its relatives), thyreophorans (heavily armoured quadrupeds, including Stegosaurus, Ankylosaurus and relatives), pachycephalosaurs (relatively small, bipedal dinosaurs with extremely thick armoured skulls) and ornithopods (a hugely diverse group of 3-toed grazing herbivores, including the hadrosaurs or "duck-billed dinosaurs".) As the bones in its hindlimb were considerably longer and thicker than its short, inflexible forelimbs Lesothosaurus was likely bipedal in life, and like all known ornithischians it possessed a hard bony beak positioned in front of its teeth that likely aided it in grasping and tearing plants, although as its teeth were narrower and sharper than the broad grinding teeth seen in many modern herbivorous vertebrates (as well as most later herbivorous ornithischians,) it is possible that it was an omnivore, feeding both on plants and small animals. Large eye sockets and long hind-legs suggest that members of this species were fast-moving animals that relied on an acute sense of vision to detect predators and locate food, and the discovery of "bone beds" in which the remains of several individuals have been preserved in close proximity to one another suggest that they may have been social. Throughout much of the Jurassic the saurischians (the other major group of dinosaurs, containing the large, long-necked quadrupedal sauropods and diverse bipedal theropods) were considerably more widespread and diverse than the ornithischians, but by the end of Cretaceous the ornithischians had drastically diversified to the point of becoming among the most abundant large land animals - by studying Lesothosaurus and other early ornithischians, a better understanding of the group's rise to prominence (and the resulting impact on wider ecosystems, as plants developed defences against predation and other herbivores adapted to compete) can be gained.

the smallest dinosaur to ever exist is still alive with us on earth. nature is beautiful

#the smallest non-avian one is about a large thrush's size #we have optimized miniature dinosaur in the modern era

People that say that feathered dinosaurs are "uncool" (or similar) interest me. What about feathers exactly makes dinosaurs less cool? What makes scales necessarily cooler than feathers? Because feathers are soft? I know that many scales are very smooth and wonderful to stroke. There are also some impressive predators out there that are feathered in the modern day (look at birds of prey) and many scaled animals that aren't exactly "cool" in the same sense do exist.

I am genuinely curious as to why, as somebody who personally thinks that feathered dinosaurs are really neat and interesting.

I love that birds are legitamately dinos. Incredible

#people dont believe mebwhen i say this but they are dinosaurs theyre the only living dinosaurs after the mass exiction that killed them all. #it wiped out all “non avian dinosaurs” they specify this because the avian ones lived and now eat seeds in your backyard #and get drunk on fermented apples 🔥🔥 looking at you magpies #talk tag

Ok y’know what I haven’t made a reblog game before and I wanna know so,,

Reblog and put in the tags what your favourite prehistoric animal is and why!

#dinosaurs #paleontology #palaeoblr #reblog game #mine is sinosauropteryx #because of how significant it is to the history of palaeontology #not only the first non-avian dinosaur described with feathers #but also one of the first and best fossils that preserves colour!! #they looked like little birdy red pandas and I love them so much #they even have a bandit mask like a raccoon!! #blessed creature

Here's the second part of my Evolved Dinosaurs series, this one featuring Titanosaurs.  I originally wanted to draw more of them but it was pretty time consuming and I wanted to move on to the next part.  Hopefully the composition is passable. Anyway, the scene is a herd of Titanosaurs gathering at their breeding ground where two males are battling for center stage while females look on.  This particular species hails from South American where vertically all of the largest known Titanosaurs were discovered.  Given how efficient they were at getting big, after 65 million years I imagine they would have finally recached the biological limit of terrestrial size, reaching up to 50m in total length and raising their heads reaching to 20m.  A contributing factor the their size increase is the joining of the northern and southern American continents which greatly expanding their territory.  When it's spring in the northern hemisphere they migrate to North America then back to South America when spring returns there. They regulate their body temperature with their neck flaps similar to how elephants use their ears for the same function.  In males, these neck flaps can expand and exhibit bright colors to attract females as well as intimidate potential rivals.  When combating other males, they would often expand their neck flaps and risk injury as a show of confidence. As always comments and critiques are welcome.

Note: the males are distinguished from the females by the bright red patterns on their throats and darker back stripes.

i wanted to draw peater (my primeval age dino) as a juvenile, subadult & adult for reference purposes! this took quite a while but it is finally DONE ⭐w⭐

i left the subadult version unshaded on purpose so i could more easily color pick hiz still developing dimorphic markings. it looks kijda eeird next to the shaded juvie & adult but oh well! the shading makes the juvie & adult look better so i don't regret it.

anyway this was my first time drswing a fullbody of a styrwcosaurus!! it was fun :D & a bit frustrating at times (i struggled a lot with the subadult for some reason q.q) but i feel like i'm getting a better grasp of yow to draw ceratopdians!! & i'm prettyvhappy wity how it turned out c:

i'm sure xcited to finally do some quests after this!! it might still be a couple weeks before i can get started on thay but i'm determined to finslly do some even if it's nkt at the forefrojt of my mind anymore by the time i'm rrady!

i partially drew this in mddibang! i tried medibang once a somewhat long time agl & quit pretty quickly out of confusion & frustration, but ddcided to give it ankther tty tkday & i think i like it better than ibis paint x! i'm probably gonna be drawingnmostly in firealpaca & medibang now but i might try drawing some comics back in ibis paint x some time.

i don't think I've shared it on this blog before but i'm an aspiring comic creator! i have made absolutely 0 comics as o posting this but i've been plannjng some stories out for the past year & i'll get around to finally making some test comics some timeee

🦖🦚Happy 200th dinoversary! 🦕🦜

On 20 February 1824, William Buckland presented Megalosaurus to the Geological Society of London, marking the very first non-avian dinosaur ever scientifically described, meaning we have known about dinosaurs for two full centuries as of today!

#dinosaur #megalosaurus #palaeoblr #the term dinosaur wasn't used until richard owen defined it in 1842 using the three non-avian dinosaurs known at the time #megalosaurus iguanodon and hylaeosaurus #hylaeosaurus is very much the janetty of that group
