Have you drawn any Pterosaur’s?

i-draws-dinosaurs Answer:

Not as many as I should!! I love pterosaurs dearly they are so strange and pretty and I just never think to draw them

Digital illustration of two Alcione, a species of toothless pterosaur, standing next to each other in a four-legged posture with their wings tucked against their arms. They have feathery brown bodies that fade into light grey heads, and bare blue skin on their faces.ALT

I think these are the latest pterosaurs I drew last year, the Alcione from Prehistoric Planet!

people bring up carcinization or the shark shape when they talk about convergent evolution but to me the funniest example has to be eyespot patterns. nature just keeps slapping fake eyes onto things again and again and again

i-draws-dinosaurs Answer:

Evidently evoking the AGH SOMETHING’S LOOKING AT ME panic in potential predators is a solid evolutionary strategy!

i-draws-dinosaurs:

Antlerlock

When deer battle with their antlers, it sometimes happens that they become locked together so hopelessly that they can’t separate. When this happens, usually both of them will die of exhaustion.

However, sometimes one dies and the other is cut free by scavenger animals. He is then forced to carry his opponent’s rotting head till his own antlers fall off in the spring.

6x9" ink on paper. Original is for sale for $100

That’s metal as fuck. Has anyone ever actually witnessed it? I’m guessing most evidence of it is via found shed antlers entangled with a skull’s.

Every now and then people will find two dead bucks stuck together, or two live deer that need rescuing. Theres a video of a man freeing a deer that’s stuck to a dead deer, and this famous photo from a few years ago of an elk carrying the head of his rival that presumably was chewed free by coyotes or wolves.
