The view from the plane on the road to DinoCon was incredibly daunting versus what I had always seen on the British Isles. 😰
A ver, los cachorritos con alas que hay que componer como un burrito para rehabilitar, o la increíble croqueta voladora, como que si, pero luego los de herradura se montan unas cosas nasales para la ecolocalización que no son muy compatibles con la estética riquiña.

Dinosaur fans coming to defend the sex pest who happens to keep finding people to collaborate with research, just because of the fucking lancian dryptosaur that for some reason is a symbol of resistance or something.
That one may be a secondary remex or a tail rectrix; the latter are very long in magpies and comparable to their wing feathers, but as far as I know their primaries consistently have the white spot. Still, love these iridiscent beauties anyway.
Combat and predation making it to Prehistoric Kingdom is great, but lemme play with these being adoptive clutchmates that still cuddle to sleep at their multiton 10+ meter long sizes.
Mi parque de la infancia tenía un platanero y se agradecía ya en los noventa en la Mariña de Lugo y su efecto Föhn. 30 años después debería ser la norma. Los toboganes y columpios bajo árboles, que no quemen!
Elephant seals are not your average seal; sea lions are on average larger than seals, and the smallest seals are far smaller than the smallest sea lions.
On the "naming issues that could stir riots in the weird fanbase surrounding stem-ornithology" topic, the usage of the 1997 name instead of the 1980 name puzzles me.
Pycnonemosaurus is not your favourite abelisaur unless you are a fan of proximal caudal series, or fragmentary tibiae or pubis.
