My version here is a bit more embellished, but that is an actual thing with horns and in particular Woolly Rhino horns. It has to do with how they grow, structures layering on top of each other and pushing out.

I watched the first episode of #PrehistoricPlanetIceAge, I loved it. It's amazing to see these animals portrayed in such a realistic fashion. 🦏

If you haven't seen the latest episode of Animalogic they discuss the history of debate and the evidence for something the size of #Quetzalcoatlus being able to fly.

Check it out here: youtu.be/xQ3qQ2XjX8s?si…

I was happy to provide some of my art to this one.

Here's a closer look at the art work that I did for The Gaming Beaver's RIVER RUMBLE! Tournament video.

Velociraptor RAPRU and Triceratops TORI.

Check out the video here👇

If you have some free time, take a walk on the beach with Kentrosaurus... just be sure to walk closer to the front than the back.

I had a dream last night that I saw a small family of Woolly Mammoths🦣 walking through my back yard and I failed to take a picture in time because I couldn't get my shoes tied fast enough to follow them.

Watching #LoveDeathAndRobots season 4... I knew it was the cats that were ultimately responsible for the robot apocalypse.

Public Service Announcement:

Please be aware, today is #VelociraptorAwarenessDay!

When you are not Aware of Velociraptors, then that is when they get you... not from the front, but from the sides, from the two other floofballs you didn't even know were there.

They go for the ankles first.

I am finally finished with my reconstruction for #Dromeaosaurus albertensis.

I too often want to just sit on a branch and munch on a lizard.

We had a skunk get hit and, I guess, bounced into our front yard. Needless to say, the smell was permeating the surrounding area and we were about to call public works to possibly clean it up, luckily this local Turkey Vulture was on the case before we got around to calling.

Go Team Dinosaur! 🦖

My cat, LaBrea, last night after I got home from work. I'm getting jealous of her ability to get instantly comfortable anywhere.
