Dinosaur Behavior

A stunningly illustrated guide to these extraordinary creatures from a world-renowned paleontologist

My art in 2023 (9/12)

September: Darwinius and Geiseltaliellus’s stare-off. The Paleogene was the last remaining Phanerozoic period I hadn’t done any art of, so I drew this little scene in the Messel Pit formation depicting a Darwininius and a lizard who do not enjoy sharing a tree.

On a lovely evening 47 million years ago, #Darwinius and #Geiseltaliellus are forced to share their favourite lakeside tree. They don't enjoy each other's company,but are unlikely to do anything about it. Meanwhile,a pair of #Gastornis enjoys the evening Sun while a #Eurohippus takes a drink,safe in the knowledge that these giant birds are herbivores. #Archaeonycteris hunt insects above the lake,while various crocodylians hang out and get ready for the night.
