Things we'll have at the Tet Zoo stall at #DinoConUK

Yes, thus was what I was referring to. I've seen a little of this on youtube and suspect it's going to really blow up once the documentary is out. It seems like an opportunity to study how belief systems like this respond to a significant stressor event.

I've reduced the Protoceratops a bit - I've got upcoming bills to pay! www.palaeoplushies.com I'm also open to (sensible) offers- just DM me if you'd like to make an offer and we can work something out!

"I Contain Multitudes" This digitally painted piece honors coyote by tracing its lineage from the first cells of life to the animal trotting our cities and the wilderness today. The thread gives descriptions of all the extinct organisms shown in this piece (not to scale)

Book your tickets soon everyone! DinoCon 2025 was a fantastic experience. 2026 promises to be even better.

On jury duty this week but I wasn't needed today - feels like a grade school snow day! Here's a seldom-seen critter that turned up in a fish trap set in flooded rainforest in Peru - an aquatic caecilian (Typhlonectes compressicauda). More deets in the ALT. #herps #caecilians #NaturePhotography 🌿

See you there? 🦕🦖

Caught two side-blotch lizards making more side blotched lizards today. Male lizards have hemipenes which allow them to easily mate with females regardless of the side they grab her on. These hemipenes structure is typically includes hooks and spikes.

Treerunners at Tet Zoo -- a very special group.... tetzoo.com/blog/2026/3/... #reptiles #herpetology #squamates

Me, gearing up to catch the capybara

This escaped capybara is living its best life.

What's new in Mesozoic marine reptiles? A LOT. Here's an update on new things as of late 2025, explaining updates added to the latest edition of my Natural History Museum book Ancient Sea Reptiles ... tetzoo.com/blog/2025/12...

Girl are you a treerunner? Because—Yes, a treerunner, it’s a kind of lizard I guess—come back it’s a good thing

More Samba the capybara-on-the-run news -- hey, KEEP YOUR DOGS LEASHED (it's not unlikely that she'll get attacked and then have to be euthanized) www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I can't be the only one who does this. When Word (or gmail) suggests a given wording for text I'm partway through writing, I find myself deliberately typing something different. It's because, I think, I don't want to sound like 'a machine'. Or it might be spite or bloodymindedness.

I really, really like caecilians. Just look at them, and check this out.... tetzoo.com/blog/2022/10... #amphibians #herpetology

Latest in the escaped Marwell capybara saga: Samba hasn't just been spotted, but photographed! At the edge of the Itchen, sitting in the sun... before slipping into the water and swimming off.

Think I spotted it in Stafford yesterday

I can't deal with the real world now, and I am always #TeamCapybara

This legend is just living her best life and I am all for it.

Capybaras are so chill that this is their idea of being "on the run"

Is anyone following this very important story???

Uh huh, sure.

I promise, I am NOT photographing a dead duck here. 😜 This Northern Shoveler just decided to flop over in the water and scratch that itchy chin in the midst of the red duckweed. #BirdOfTheDay #Preeners&Scratchers #MallardMonday 📷🪶🦆

I bought the new ish of Fortean Times for the Lewis and Bartlett article. I already have their book and am part way through it.
