Great horned owl I photographed at @BirdworldSurrey a few weeks back. I feel bad for making the bird less than happy. #owls #birds
When at @NHM_London I always go look at the #birds, the displays are great. Here's a seriema, the two dodo models (models, not taxiderm specimens) and a Cape/Pintado petrel. #museums #museumdisplay
Looks like the third edition of #Dinosaurs: How They Lived & Evolved is done and published. It'll be a few weeks before it's on sale though. It's the same as the second edition bar one figure caption though - we didn't have time to make all the changes we wanted to! #books
@Ichnologist @JanFreedman @DSRovinsky @TwilightBeasts @DoubleBeam @MikeTaylor @AndyFarke @JoschuaKnuppe I also feel compelled to add that Catherine Zeta-Jones has been used as a human scale bar here and there online.
@Ichnologist @JanFreedman @DSRovinsky @TwilightBeasts @DoubleBeam @MikeTaylor Palaeontologist Andrew Farke @AndyFarke has often been used as a scale bar, mostly in connection with ceratopsians (because that's the group he specialises on)...
And here's the Papo 2008 Humpback from the same range. Again, it has a mobile lower jaw and is great. But its proportions are weird - I think the tailstock should be longer. More #whales another time! #toyanimals #animalmodels
@eawilloughby 2010 brought news of the exciting discovery of Concavenator, a Spanish allosauroid. It's excellent, but the claim that it might have had forelimb feathers was questioned in this #TetZoo article: https://t.co/Oo1QxLUegZ #dinosaurs #FossilFriday
Scansoriopterygids - small, tree-climbing maniraptoran #theropods, sometimes with membranous wings - are often depicted as screaming little dragons. I say that they would have looked like goofy bat-winged parrots: https://t.co/5vXTaNSJak Art by @eawilloughby & @thejohnconway.
