Yixian pterosaurs //

This formation in China is among the richest known site for Cretaceous Period fossils all over the world. It was a lakeside environment with a number of feathered dinosaurs and a variety of pterosaurs that fed on fish.

It's a bird! It's a hamster! ... It's a... Kumo? Meet Kumo, a pinkopteropotatocricetulus! It's quite a handful (and mouthful), but we'll keep you posted on how to care for it ~

For here's my take on the mid-sized azhdarchoid Thalassodromeus. There's some neat features on the skull of this animal which probably relate to facial tissues - I wrote about them at my blog not so long ago: https://t.co/IxWpLHJ1FL
