Kilushan is an omnivore in temperate forest canopies, in the Leatherwing group with primitive form. Large, bone-supported ears like foreleg wings act as auxiliary wings, enabling flight and gliding like a biplane.

Camakira, a Leatherwing of the Lantern-ashland, is an opportunistic predator adapted to dark volcanic lands. With a mouth crest that amplifies ultrasound, it scans wide ranges, and its big toe bears a large claw for striking ill-fated prey.

Cozacua is a insect-eater Leatherwing of the mirror salt flats. Its wings adjust surface area with spurs and fingers, while long tail filaments aid balance. Crests on its mouth spread when open, and sticky fluid traps swarming insects mid-flight.

My 3D anatomical study of a large male Pteranodon longiceps. The skeleton is a generalised composite as per usual with my models, but is scaled to UNSM 50130 (a very large and almost complete wing)

To liven up Tuesday afternoon, have some speculative #dinosaurs adapted for modern habitats. Respectively, they are the magnificent and steppe fissurefrills, the berk, and the grand field titan. It's nice to take a break from pure #paleoart every now and then, and designing animals is fun.
