This is making the rounds uncredited once again, so... 🤷‍♀️

For those who haven’t seen it yet, the award-winning documentary @whydinosaurs.bsky.social is now available free on YouTube! You should definitely watch it if you have the time. I’ve embedded the video in my review here. dinodadreviews.com/2026/02/19/w...

genAI is dying repost to make it die faster

We're horseposting post your horses.

This is draft text, but putting these words into all my books from hereon: "I, Darren Naish, can confirm that AI was not used at any level nor in any capacity in the drafting, writing, editing or production of this book." It'll have to be in front or end matter but I'll make sure it gets included.

A not-so-encyclopedic encyclopedia of prehistoric life, that nonetheless has some interesting artwork. dinodadreviews.com/2026/02/14/d...

Reposting for International Women and Girls in Science Day, because Zofia Kielan-Jaworowska deserves more recognition! dinodadreviews.com/2026/02/01/d...

Dinosaurs 🦕

Here’s a children’s book called “Tiny Dino”, in which a hummingbird attempts to convince its animal friends that it is indeed a dinosaur. It makes for a decent introduction to the concept of comparative anatomy! dinodadreviews.com/2026/02/09/t...

A children’s book about the life of Zofia Kielan-Jaworowska? Yes please! Learn more about the discoveries of the Polish-Mongolian Expeditions with “Dinosaur Desert”! 🦕📖🦖 dinodadreviews.com/2026/02/01/d...

Dinoland USA sees its final day of operation today. I will definitely miss it. Here I am posing with @suethetrex.bsky.social during my visit in 2013.

My latest review covers “Let’s Explore Dinosaurs Pop-Up”, which as you might guess, is a pop-up book about dinosaurs and other Mesozoic reptiles. It’s got some impressive pop-up constructions, though some of the artwork appears to be copied from other sources. 🦖📖🦕 dinodadreviews.com/2026/01/29/l...

Gary Larson: In my cartoon I invented Cow Tools as a cautionary tale Cows: At long last, we have created the Cow Tools from classic newspaper comic Cow Tools

Cow Tools! We have lived alongside cows for nearly 10,000 years. We breed them and exploit them It is now, only now, that we have discovered THEY CAN USE TOOLS Here I describe our study (paper) www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... in @currentbiology.bsky.social with @auersperga.bsky.social

Animatronic dinosaurs at the Heard Museum.

A really cool plesiosaur skeleton (Trinacromerum) at the Heard Museum near Dallas, Texas.

BIG FIGHT AT POLAND’S WROCLAW ZOO!!!

This. Also, NCAR doesn't just work on climate! They research weather, atmospheric chemistry and pollutioj, the sun and space weather. They developed the technology for lidar, a technology widely used in surveying, archaeology, forestry, seismology, laser guidance systems, and even self-driving cars.

New book review! TedRechlin’s “T. REX” is a fantastic look at the tyrant lizard king. From the scientific discoveries to its pop culture legacy, this comic book comprehensively details all things Tyrannosaurus. 🦖 @rextooth.bsky.social dinodadreviews.com/2025/12/11/t...

Andy Cruz ( @skinkpunch.bsky.social ) delivers another excellent dinosaur comic book, “Did You Know Dino? Jurassic America”. While his previous book focused on Hell Creek, this one focuses on the Morrison Formation, famous for its giant sauropods! 🦕🦖 dinodadreviews.com/2025/11/12/d...

New book review up! This popup and lift-the-flap book was kindly sent to me by fellow reviewer Herman Diaz. dinodadreviews.com/2025/11/06/t...

Happy Halloween!

Had the pleasure of meeting Yi Xu, a Shanghai-based children's educational book illustrator. She's working on some exceptional palaeontology-themed books. Starting with Paleozoic. I love the highlight on the lesser known animals 🐌🧵

My latest review covers @rachelignotofsky.bsky.social newest book! While “Dinosaurs” get the title role, it’s really an exploration of the history of life in general, from the Hadean to the Quaternary. I highly recommend it! 🦕🦖🦣 dinodadreviews.com/2025/10/29/d...

I’m looking forward to the Dallas Paleo Society’s annual #Fossilmania event in Glen Rose, Texas this weekend! They’ve always got a bunch of interesting stuff there, plus they usually do a guided tour of the Paluxy River dinosaur tracks at Dinosaur Valley State Park.

Here’s my review of “Atlas of Prehistoric Animals”. The chief draw of this book is the artwork of Petr Modlitba, who is basically the reincarnation of Zdeněk Burian; his gorgeous paintings are worth the price of admission on their own. dinodadreviews.com/2025/10/19/a...

If you haven’t watched “Tears of the Mountain” yet, you absolutely should! It’s a gorgeous bit of traditional animation that just happens to feature a Yutyrannus. 📺🦖 dinodadreviews.com/2025/10/18/t...

If you study plants, you need this book. 🧵1/n

Here’s a decent-looking book that unfortunately includes a lot of copied art, including some by @joschuaknuppe.bsky.social, @meganjacobspalaeo.bsky.social, @lacerdajulio.bsky.social, and others. dinodadreviews.com/2025/10/10/h...

I forgot to share my #DinoCon review here! 🦖🦕 I apologize for the poor pictures, I was having too much fun to remember to take better ones. 😅 dinodadreviews.com/2025/09/15/d...

Ugh, I should write a review of DinoCon, but my pictures are rubbish and I don’t know what to say that hasn’t already been said better elsewhere. 😖

Museum of the Rockies!!! 😁🥰🦖

Dinosaurs at the airport in Bozeman, Montana! It’s a nice little preview for my visit to the Museum of the Rockies today!

Oh BOY! Story time! All the way back in 2016, on our way back from Munich for a EAVP meeting, @dinosven.bsky.social‬ got a mail by Georg Göltz, attached were some first images of an incredible specimen. That evening we went over the material again and again...

I’ve recently reviewed @iknowdino.bsky.social’s new book at my blog! It’s a great look at how our perceptions of dinosaurs have changed through the years with different eras of discovery. 🦕📖🦖 dinodadreviews.com/2025/07/09/i...

It was a delight to be on the show! I had a good time discussing WWD with the LITC crew. Give it a listen!

We're talking Walking with Dinosaurs! This series has turned out pretty divisive, but what do your humble LITC podcasters think? And crucially, what do Andrew's children think? Thanks to @dinodadreviews.bsky.social for being on the show!

The dismantling of the research apparatus that made America the science and tech giant it's been over the past century is the greatest own-goal in history. We haven't even begun to calculate or feel the losses

To the end of my days, I will not understand why industries that rely on this research are not losing their minds

Here’s my thoughts on the new #WalkingWithDinosaurs! It may not quite match the original, but it’s pretty good on its own terms. 🦕📺🦖 dinodadreviews.com/2025/06/23/w...

“From Wolf To Woof!” is a lightly fictionalized tale of the domestication of dogs. This cute book is perfect for youngsters interested in life in the Ice Age. dinodadreviews.com/2025/06/19/f...
