Drymarchon melanurus unicolor is very similar to the previous taxon but it’s tail is the same color as the anterior part of the body or only slightly darker, never black. It is found along the Pacific coast from Mexico to NW Panama
Drymarchon corais, the type species of the genus, is easily distinguishable by having a yellow to orange tail. It inhabits forests and grasslands (largely lowlands) over most of South America E of the Andes from N Venezuela to N Argentina
This is another of the illustrations I did for book 6 of the “Extinct” series, which main subject is the giant shark Megalodon and that is wonderfully written by Ben Garrod. Books 1-7 are available now

Here is the video process of this quick study. I didn’t add any rictal filaments/bristles because I didn’t want to annoy @Dave_Hone 😂😉

Two pterosaurs will appear in Jurassic World Dominion, Quetzalcoatlus (left) and Pteranodon (right). Here are my reconstructions of both, based on current hypotheses of their probable appearance in life, so you can compare them with the versions in the movie
A very VERY quick sketch of the new pterosaur Dearc sgiathanach. Hopefully I get to reconstruct this taxon with more time at some point. Again congrats to @WryCritic and colleagues on this amazing taxon.
Apparently I have a thing for floating/swimming nectrideans. Here Diplocaulus, Diploceraspis, Urocordylus and Diceratosaurus
