Speculative biology is always going to be a facet of paleomedia. Just comes with the territory trying to fill in the blanks on what the fossils can't tell. What's some of your favorite speculative biology in paleomedia? Stuff that we can't know for sure, but has some fun to it.

Gurney's Giganotosaurus. Almost certainly too colorful and vibrant, but I instantly think it when I think Giga. https://t.co/Z5spLSIEOd

To use @Riamus01's illustration and this skull chart adapted from PaleoFile, consider three of the Nemegt Formation of Mongolia's predators. Adasaurus, Alioramus, and Tarbosaurus. The size difference between adult specimens is stark.

Behavior is one of those 'devil in the details' things about animals that can be so tricky to predict. There is very little skeletal wise to tell you alligators are good at climbing and yet they do it anyways, and surprisingly proficiently.

"The Raptor's Tail" is the first in a hopeful anthology set in Mongolia 70 million years ago and is meant to showcase some of the fauna as they hadn't been rendered before. Both with storytelling as well as illustrated by the talented @Riamus01.

James Gurney's Giganotosaurus from Dinotopia forever sticks with me as a great example of a brightly colored carnosaur. https://t.co/wth6SIKqYm
