Thanks so much, Jeff!

I’m Keri, I love horror, monsters and the paranormal! I’m developing a horror comedy comic about lazy demons in debt, and I also dabble in stop mo, storyboarding and taxidermy/osteological articulation!

Suffice to say that osteological variation within extant megamammal taxa - even those now suspected to be species complex (like extant Giraffa) - is subtle and not like the significant variation seen in the Morrison Prothero compared them with. Ok, moving on...
