Halszkaraptorines were a group of small dromaeosaurids known only from the Late Cretaceous of Mongolia. They were odd little raptors with flattened snouts, long necks, and flipper-like arms – features that suggest they were specialized for swimming, making them the second known lineage of semi-aquatic non-avian dinosaurs after the spinosaurids.
This "duck-raptor" interpretation has been a little controversial since it was first proposed in 2017, but we've just gotten some more evidence for it in the form of an entirely new halszkaraptorine.
Natovenator polydontus lived in what is now the Gobi Desert in southern Mongolia, around 72 million years ago. The size of a small duck, about 45cm long (18"), it had jaws full of many needle-like teeth, a long flexible goose-like neck, and a streamlined body with a wide flattened ribcage convergently shaped like those of modern diving birds.
Although it had long strong legs, these don't show much in the way of aquatic specializations and would have been used more for walking and running on land. Instead it may have used its flipper-like arms to propel itself through the water, like modern penguins or auks.
It probably had a lifestyle similar to modern mergansers, swimming and diving in lakes and rivers, and preying on fish, amphibians, and aquatic invertebrates.

He remembered to smell the roses for them.
I think the implications here are clear but I will say... "I can smell them" is a funny way to put it and I still laugh even when it's supposed to be sad

Day 3: Stenonychosaurus
The duo troodontid are on the prowl and scrolling through areas.
Plus here’s the interesting part about this species. In 2021, a largest troodontid Latenivenatrix is lumped into the same species of Stenonychosaurus after they reported revealing the paper, which that makes well, Stenonychosaurus the largest known species that ever existed.
Also it safe to say, the new studies during this year are revealed that Troodontid are possibly ether omnivory diets or just full time herbivores.

Folding-screen panels which survived from the Corner Reception-Room of Her Majesty at the Alexander Palace in Tsarskoe Selo Here you have all of the tapestry panels from the folding/privacy screens which were used to decorate the Corner Reception-Room of Her Majesty. Originally, this room was decorated with three folding-screens, each of them were gilded, and were most likely executed by either the firms of N. Svirsky or F.F. Meltser & Co. (R.F. Meltser was the Court Decorator to Their Majesties). These tapestries which were fitted to various folding-screens (paravents) can be identified in the autochrome plate made during the late Summer of 1917 by war-time photographer Andrei Zeest. One tapestry panel depicts the double-headed eagle surrounded by scrollwork, filigree and ribbons. The other tapestry panels are said to be from the reign of King Louis XV of France by way of the monogram which is depicted in the center of each of the panels. All of the tapestry panels reside at GMZ Pavlovsk. Please enjoy! Also, if you re-share and/or post these photographs elsewhere PLEASE credit Gosfond and GMZ Pavlovsk accordingly! Thank-you! ________________________________________________________________
