All these Dinosaurs figures, plants and ground bases are self-made things:

только что заметил это одно, очень глубокомысленно сделано
just noticed this one, very thoughtfully done

Pretty cool. You don't see enough dinos in the snow. 

[Dinomike]

They are all wonderful! Do you make them as a hobby or do you work in a museum? Are all these dinosaurs made by you as well?

[Dinomike]

Oh! You actually mentioned they are made by you! Oops! Incredible stuff!

[Dinomike]

Do you sell these somewhere? I think you would quickly gain lots of customers! Great talent!

Fascinating dioramas, especially how they capture the depositional environment of a particular formation. However, I noticed that some of the ceratopsians seem to engage in scavenging or active hunting. I guess herbivores have been known to do this from time to time, or is there some new research I am not aware of?

There's no fossil evidence behind it. It's just an "All Yesterdays" type theory that a lot of people seem to have been trying out lately. From what I understand, occasionally deer have been known to eat birds.





Makes me wonder if they must have some kind of nutrient deficiency.

I didn't even know deer ate birds.I wonder why?

Probably nutrient deficiency as TQ said. They probably do it for the calcium in the bones. Or, maybe deer and cows only want to you to think they are docile and peaceful. In reality, they are secretly the apex predators.

I think so

Explains why deer stare at me when I ride my road bicycle. They are thinking, "Meal on wheels."
