The finale to Maysozoic is Europasaurus! These island dwelling sauropods would have been quite a sight, as they were incredibly small compared to their gigantic cousins. You could ride this fella like a horse, but should you?

Day 31. Europasaurus rafflesia
Outside of their titanic size, these sauropods weaponize another strength - their stench. Pods can be detected from miles away from their… unique… aroma.

Day 30. Tyrannosaurus selenicereus
Revered as the “king of fruits”, this Tyrannosaur bears a tough, scaly exterior. Beneath it lies soft, juicy, and seedy flesh that would almost seem delectable enough to venture closer. Almost.

Day 30 of Maysozoic is Tyrannosaurus! These mega therapods are well known, and extremely well documented. Appearing frequently in pop culture, T-rex is probably the most recognizable dinosaur. Perhaps they would have liked the spotlight.

Day 29 is Camptosaurus. With no clear physical defenses, Camptosaurus may have resorted to speed to evade predators. As such, it’s important to slow down and take a moment for yourself sometimes.

Day 29. Camptosaurus ginkgo
In autumn, these plain looking dinosaurs undergo a marvelous transformation - their leaves turn a brilliant yellow, exposing xanthophyll pigments. This change has earned them the nickname “autumn gold”.

Day 28. Deinosuchus phyllostachys
These crocodilians spend much of their time in riverbed mud awaiting a worthy ambush target. Their hides are smooth and woody, often used in decoration, roofing, and other building material as a result.

Day 27 is Albertosaurus! While these theropods were quite large they still weren’t nearly as big as their relatives, Tyrannosaurus. In their ecosystems however, they would have been the apex predators. That doesn’t always mean you can leave your guard down.

Day 27. Albertosaurus beta
These chard varieties are extremely hardy, often surviving long into the colder seasons. Many colorful subspecies exist in the wild - leading to colorful, rainbow-chard hunting packs.

Day 26. Baryonyx phoeniceae
These Spinosaurids thrive in scorchingly humid climates, their leaves providing shade when the temperature gets extreme. Their tough hide is adept at retaining moisture - and doubles as battle armor for territorial disputes.

Day 25. Pentaceratops dionaea
The various functions of ceratopsian crests have been debated - in this species, however, the primary use-case is clear. They charge horns first, and use their frills to clamp the target tightly, delivering a deeper wound.

Day 24. Icthyosaurus orchidaceae
It skims shallow water, with blossoming stems bobbing above the surface. Bright colors put nearby prey at ease - then by instinct, or perhaps at the urging of the plant itself, it lunges forth and devours the unsuspecting.

With an almost caramel-like sweetness to its aroma, this cultivar’s scales have been long used in beverage making. Once ground and steeped, the flavor is reminiscent of coffee.

Nicknamed ‘parva’ (the Latin for ‘small’), this little dinosaur has a personality that more than compensates. The osteoderms growing along its body have grown spongy and succulent - an apt adaptation for desert living.
