Indeed, thanks for sharing.

Very interesting! That Quetzalcoatlus drawing.. How that poor thing flew is beyond me! However the part on Ceratopsians and Gorgonopsids was quite interesting and it shows that shrink-wrapping varies from species.

Ah, good! I was just about to share this here. Great read, important for those of us interested in fossil animal reconstructions of all kinds  :D

Oh yes. The one from "The Dinosaurs"/"The new Dinosaurs" by William Stout. The one in "The Dinosaur Action Set" is similar.
Jurassic Park is frightning in the dark
All the dinosaurs are running wild
Someone let T. Rex out of his pen
I'm afraid those things'll harm me
'Cause they sure don't act like Barney
And they think that I'm their dinner, not their friend
Oh no

This is a very well-written article. I really love the thoughts this article provokes.
Having dinosaurs that look like healthy, living and breathing animals is refreshingly new for me, given that I grew up with dinosaurs in movies like "Jurassic Park" or "The Land Before Time", etc.
Dude, I very like Dinos and I cannot understand those who don't.
