Happy Draw a Dinosaur Day, y'all!
This year I've drawn 𝘗𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘰𝘴𝘢𝘶𝘳𝘶𝘴 𝘭𝘰𝘯𝘨𝘪𝘤𝘦𝘱𝘴, an early sauropod ("prosauropod") from the late Triassic who might be about 8 meters long. I used 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘗𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘵𝘰𝘯 𝘍𝘪𝘦𝘭𝘥 𝘎𝘶𝘪𝘥𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘋𝘪𝘯𝘰𝘴𝘢𝘶𝘳𝘴 by Gregory S. Paul as a reference.
What dino might 𝑦𝑜𝑢 draw today?

A photographer finds thousands of #dinosaur footprints near Italian Winter Olympic venue https://apnews.com/article/italy-dinosaur-footprints-olympics-bipedal-herbivores-5a6ab5e5c68398716d339dba56a04112
"The discovery in the #Stelvio NP was striking for the sheer number of footprints, estimated at 20,000 over some 5 km, and the location near the Swiss border, once a prehistoric coastal area, that has never previously yielded tracks of #dinosaurs... they have been made by long-necked bipedal herbivores that were up to 10 m long, weighing up to 4 tons, similar to a #Plateosaurus"

Dinosaurs were a funny bunch. Here's a parade from DINOSAUR BEHAVIOUR (2023), by Prof Michael Benton (published by Princeton University Press).

Dino mit Peitschenschwanz: Wie sich der Plateosaurus verteidigt haben könnte 🦖
War der #Plateosaurus besser bewaffnet als bislang gedacht? Eine Studie unter Beteiligung von Thomas Filek vom Institut für Paläontologie liefert überraschende Hinweise: Der pflanzenfressende Dinosaurier, der vor rund 215 bis 205 Millionen Jahren in der späten Triaszeit lebte, könnte seinen langen Schwanz aktiv zur Verteidigung eingesetzt haben – ähnlich wie einige heutige Echsen.

Here's how I built Plateosaurus for "In Search of Water," a digital composite painting (2015) for Naturhistorisches Museum Bern, Switzerland. The digital skeleton was supplied by Heinrich Mallison.
