Darren NaishSo... #TetZooCon 2024, London Sept 27th-29th, includes talks, panel events, exhibitions and more revolving around animals of many sorts BUT with an emphasis this year on #dinosaurs #palaeoart / #paleoart and #birds (which are a group of dinosaurs, as you know). The banner features 10s of dinosaurs I drew, composited by @john. A blog article on the plan .... https://tetzoo.com/blog/2024/6/27/announcing-tetzoocon-2024
Talks booked for #TetZooCon 2024 include.... Katrina van Grouw on how things are going with The Unfeathered Bird II (this will mean a lot to you if you own The Unfeathered Bird, the first one... an amazing book)... I am also talking on #dinosaurs, specifically on Brian J Ford's 'AlL dInOsAurS WeRe AqUAtIC' stuff, it should be fun....
We are thrilled to welcome pioneering palaeoartist and author Greg Paul, who will be talking on 'how paleoscience depends on paleoart, and vice versa' (that's not the final title). Princeton Uni Press will have a tall at #TetZooCon 2024, I think meaning that a bunch of Greg's books will be on sale and available for signing. He's also chatting with me and @john on stage.... #paleoart #palaeoart #dinosaurs
A sorta exclusive for #TetZooCon 2024... we have Dave the Hone talking about his brand-new book DINOSAUR BEHAVIOUR, and - hopefully - we'll have copies present at the meeting ahead of the actual publication date. Woohoo! It features art by @serpenillus (who, sadly, isn't able to attend....) #dinosaurs #palaeobiology #paleobiology
Another sorta exclusive, we will be screening the new movie WHY DINOSAURS? as a special lunchtime event. This documentary movie has so far only been viewable at special screenings and red-carpet events, plus we're likely showcasing a brand new edit :) Here's a trailer .... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qmQiTi3U0tg #TetZooCon
WHY DINOSAURS? OFFICIAL TRAILER - A Documentary About Dinosaurs and the People Who Love Them!
On post-Cretaceous #dinosaurs, we have Jonathan Meiburg - musician (lead signer of band #Shearwater) and author on The Caracaras Would Like to Meet You: Encounters with the World's Smartest and Strangest Birds of Prey AND Mary Colwell of Curlew Conservation on.... Curlew Conservation - A Battle for Hearts and Minds .... #TetZooCon
Other talks are happening too. Plus numerous stalls including merch, book sales and more. ALSO.... conservationist, broadcaster, natural historian and author Chris Packham is speaking, on Nextinction. I'm thrilled to have Chris with us :) Book here: https://tetzoo.com/convention #TetZooCon
We're also taking a bold gamble this year and leading the first ever TET ZOO TOUR. We leave London, to the Horniman Museum for #dinosaurs, then head west for a day at #LymeRegis, then head way east for Howletts Wild Animal Park, then head back to base to London. It should be epic and I hope you'll join us! Booking info is at the site: https://tetzoo.com/convention
That's not everything and I'll be... tooting... about more #TetZooCon stuff in the run-up to the event, but be sure to come along. For a review of what happened at the 10th event (in 2023), see.... https://tetzoo.com/blog/2023/12/15/tetzoocon-2023-the-report
TetZooCon 2023 the report — Tetrapod Zoology
The tenth TetZooCon – that’s the Tetrapod Zoology Convention – happened between Friday December 1st and Monday December 4th, and I think I’ve just about recovered. Hosted once again at Bush House, King’s College London (KCL), it was the biggest, busiest and most successful of our events so far, as i
JOIN US late September (and early October if you attend the tour), and please share and tell your friends. There is nothing like #TetZooCon and we appreciate (and need) the help we can get with promotion :) https://tetzoo.com/convention
Heather 👻@TetZoo y'all can just say Posts instead of toots.

raymoo the HomoGaymoo@john Almost sure Mr Toad went POOP POOP and tbh having a POOP button instead of Toot or Post would be hilarious too.
Adam S. Smith@AdamStuartSmith @Akki @TetZoo how do you non-tooters get through your sad, grey little lives without any feeling of spontaneity and joy? I feel sorry for you, it must be so bleak.
Raptor's Nest (He/Him)@john @AdamStuartSmith @Akki @TetZoo I like toot more than post or publish...but ecoevo.social uses 'Publish!'
