The new episode of Terrible Lizards (out in a few hours) has and but NO DINOSAURS. It's all about Pterosaurs. To make up for this, I did a silly picture of a velociraptor. SQUAWRK!

However there is another aspect of pterosaurs that is understudied, the jaw musculature and feeding behavior of pterosaurs. There have been studies on the feeding behavior of pterosaurs, but never on the jaw musculature. Art by .

I also do non-dinosaur art. Maybe I should do more non-dinosaur art. And I don't mean pterosaurs.

Ahools are giant carnivorous bats with 10-foot wingspans believed to inhabit rainforests in Java, Indonesia. According to eyewitnesses, they swoop down to snatch up humans with their claws & devour them. Some believe they're descended from pterosaurs.

Today, P. cuvieri has its own genus, Cimoliopterus. We recognise it as an ornithocheiromorph, a long-winged, ocean-going species closely related to Ornithocheirus and Anhanguera. It was among the last of the toothed pterosaurs. But can we still consider it a giant?

It's New Year's Eve, so obviously time to talk about the discovery of giant pterosaurs. Most of us think of one animal as _the_ first giant pterosaur: the 7 m wingspan, North American Pteranodon. BUT - what if I told you this wasn't the first pterosaur giant known? Thread...

Maybe not dinosaurs... but pterosaurs... lots of pterosaurs.

Plus, we still have compelling evidence of gigantic, 8-9 m wingspan toothy sea-going pterosaurs. Next to azhdarchids, they're the biggest pterosaurs of all - there's plenty of real science on these guys to get excited about. (Average-sized 5-ish m wingspan Cimoliopterus below.)

Warning - cute pterosaurs. Darwinopterus and Fenghuangopterus from the Tiaojishan Formation. (I might have some exciting news lined up for next week, be on a lookout!)

I went with Ptornie cause I never drew him before and as a kid I liked Pterosaurs.

St George fights a pterodactyl.

(The illustration is by Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins, who designed the , & did genuinely seem to have believed that legends of dragons derived from ancient human encounters with pterosaurs.)

I'm late for but better late than never, right? Here's some of Cimoliopterus, one of the last of the toothed pterosaurs. The genus seems to have been widespread, occurring in both Britain and the United States.

Don't be fooled by its name, Eopteranodon is not closely related to the other more popular pterosaur with a similar name. It's one of the earliest known toothless pterosaurs. https://t.co/NouIhlRzSA

Douzhanopterus is a transitional pterosaur between wukongopterids and the more derived short-tailed pterosaurs. https://t.co/Jg2Wsg2IL5

Cute little Bellubrunnus is among the smallest of all known pterosaurs. It is also noteworthy because its wingtips curve forward, unlike other pterosaurs. https://t.co/WeTadwTPns

For day 5 of the Tweet Storm here is an illustration I did for my in-prep book which was also shown during last year exhibit “Picturing the Past”. It is a group of Dimorphodon, one of my favorite pterosaurs. Also because today is
