Another from the Birdwatcher game deck, here's the King of Saxony Bird-of-Paradise. These gorgeous little guys have a reflective purple hummingbird-like gorget and two long metallic reflective ribbon plumes that they can wave around like crazy wires for displays. 🎨🪶🐡🌏

I'm trying again to tidy the library. It's not going well.

Author, artist and scientist Greg Paul is among the most influential of people worldwide when it comes to our understanding of dinosaur life appearance. I'm thrilled to announce that Greg is speaking at TetZooCon 2024, held London, Sept 27-29. More info and tickets: tetzoo.com/convention

Scrolled through the comments and not one use of the word crocodile :(

Sad lack of reporting on Restore Nature Now March - we really need the media to take the environment and the fragility of life on Earth seriously

I've been sorting through large quantities of plastic animal figures

Wow! The ceratopsids had *style*.

The ornate North American horned dinosaur Lokiceratops indicates strong endemism in these animals, rapid evolution, and suggests that there are still many species yet to find. A new article by me in BBC Wildlife.... www.discoverwildlife.com/dinosaurs/lo... #dinosaurs

New giant dinosaur with 'bizarre' horns discovered in the wild badlands of Montanawww.discoverwildlife.com With a colossal pair of blade-like spikes on the back of its frill, Lokiceratops rangiformis is one of the largest and most ornate horned dinosaurs ever found, say scientists.

Cool article, Darren - and really nice art, too! Did you see the article in NYT? www.nytimes.com/2024/06/20/s... It has the usual 'saved from evil rich people' spiel - but the 'museum' of evolution is a for-profit private collection linked to a private safari-land owned by Danish nobility 😜

Lokiceratops, a Horned Dinosaur, May Be a New Specieswww.nytimes.com Researchers analyzed a skull found in Montana of a plant-eating member of the ceratops family, finding distinct traits.
