KULINDAY APPROACHES

if you know where this meme come from i’ll give you a star

i want someone to make a remix of big shot with the song, it would be perfect

Ayy, nice! Here's my full-body of a Tsaagan mangas.

(The art was done without a skeletal reference. Forgive the botched head shape.)

At about this time some of you are probably saying “what is that? It looks like a bird!” You’re not entirely wrong. Those of you who are saying “oh cool, a Velociraptor” are actually more wrong than those other people.

This is Tsaagan mangas. It is almost identical to Velociraptor, lived in the same area as Velociraptor, during the same time period as Velociraptor, but it is not a Velociraptor. For all intents and purposes, though, they are practically identical.

Drawn for a-dinosaur-a-day, because it seems that no one has drawn a half-decent full-body picture of a mid-sized Mongolian dromaeosaurid that is almost identical to Velociraptor and called it a Tsaagan before. I think Tsaagan is going to be my new second-favorite dromaeosaurid (behind Deinonychus) because it’s basically Velociraptor but it doesn’t get nearly as much attention as Velociraptor and definitely deserves more love than it gets, even if only because, for all intents and purposes, it is the same as Velociraptor.

There. Now I’ve said “Tsaagan mangas” in this post more times than I’ve said “Velociraptor.”

Tsaagan mangas.

Drew a rhizodus, an absolute monster of an animal that lived during the carboniferous period, roughly 5-7m in length (making it the largest freshwater fish that we know of) and a tetrapodomorph meaning it breathed air and is more closely related to us than to true blue and gilled fish!

We’ve even found land track marks from another genus of rhizodontid, they certainly got around!

I’d love to make some big stickers (and prints) of this fella if anyone was interested :-)

y'all ever think about how insane the sauropods were

A silly little meme I made for the tenth anniversary Kulinday, hosted by @a-dinosaur-a-day.

This IndiHome Paket meme was made on Scratch 3.0 (don't judge me, I don't have proper video editing software).

Meme template adapted for Scratch by @-PhantomAnimations- on Scratch, aka https://scratch.mit.edu/users/-PhantomAnimations-/ .

Happy Kulinday, fellow palaeonerds!

reblog and put in the tags 3 extinct creatures you would bring back if you could

Below the poll is a series of animal images labeled A through J. A is the least close to the birds we have today; J is the closest. If you encountered these animals in the wild, which would you call birds? If you pick a higher up option, then that means you consider all the below ones birds as well - so if you pick A, then BCDEFGHIJ are all birds. If you pick J, only J is a bird.

PLEASE REBLOG THIS SO IT CAN LEAVE PALAEOBLR. I NEED PEOPLE WHO DON'T RECOGNIZE THESE ANIMALS ON SIGHT TO VOTE.

I apologize to all of y'all with vision impairments for whom this poll is inaccessible. Alas, this is an experiment, and I cannot name the taxa. Thank you.
