If you could have a pet pterosaur, an anurognathid might be the best choice They were small (one of them had an estimated wingspan of only 14 inches!) and cute, and at first glance look (maybe) a little like bats (at least to us) (Image by Zhao Chuang, via Wikimedia Commons)

Happy #FossilFriday! Ever wondered how dinosaurs lived? Award winning paleontologist @deanrlomax.bsky.social and world-renowned natural history artist @bobnichollsart.bsky.social bring to life some of the most unusual & fascinating fossils with their upcoming book “The Secret Lives of Dinosaurs”

When you think about dinosaurs, do you ever think about their brains? There’s a whole field dedicated to studying their (and other prehistoric animals’) brains. It’s called paleoneurology and it involves studying brain evolution by analyzing brain endocasts (the internal cast of a skull)

What do (some) dinosaurs and medieval knights have in common? Armor! Some dinosaurs were so heavily covered in armor they were like living tanks (woot woot Ankylosaurus)

Thank you!
