N is for Nuthatch! 🥜🐦

I’ve said “This bird is the best” a lot but — Nuthatches are the best! They might even be the Cutest Birds in the Whole Forest!

They have a very close competitor for that title, who we shall see in a few days…

Issi saaneq means "cold bones" in Greenland's indigenous Kalaallisut language. This particular Late Triassic plateosaurid is warming it's bones in a mud hot spring. Not only is the mud soothing, but it helps to ward off parasites.#DrawDinovember

A couple of playful Tupandactylus navigans fly past some lenticular clouds. The incredibly preserved fossil of this Cretaceous pterosaur was confiscated during a police raid in Brazil in 2013, along with thousands of other specimens.

L is for Larus smithsonianus, the Herring Gull!

The quintessential seagull of the Gulf of Maine. They can be surly and fierce or very chill and graceful. Often within the same moment.

But seriously folks. K is for KING CONDOR!

Very beautiful. Very powerful. Very large, as it turns out, whenever I meet one in person at a zoo.

Seriously though, J is for JAY!!!

And how could it not be? I LOVE Blue Jays! They are beautiful and wonderful and anyone who says they don’t like them is probably a narc.

Ancient fish are so strange and and fascinating. Furcacauda is a Lower Devonian (400 MYA) jawless fish who's fossils were found in Canada. The eyespots I put on them are purely speculative,but that nautiloid does think it's looking in a mirror.

The Late Triassic (230 MYA) archosaur Poposaurus gracilis is more closely related to living crocodilians than dinosaurs, despite being a swift biped. This one is about to scavenge on a temnospondyl that recently passed away.

F is for Finch! 🐥🧚🏻‍♂️

They’re sweet, they tweet, and they are said to be trusted Fairy friends! They’re so tiny and colorful and just seeing them makes me happy! May our holiday season be filled with wonderful winter finches!

Don't worry Zhanghenglong, this isn't the big one, just a close call. This hadrosaurid iguanodont is safe for now, as it's an another 20 million yrs before for the asteroid that caused the extinction of the dinosaurs hits the Earth.
