“Mininykus”, my little speculative alvarezsaurid guy

Basically a tiny version of mononykus haha. I am not like a skeleton person so if I mess up in that diagram then feel free to critique it

It is a nocturnal desert dwelling theropod, with a very short stature. Only about 6-9 inches tall. It is a predator, and mainly hunts during the night. It feeds on insects, grubs, and small reptiles. They dig shallow burrows in dirt mounds, where they sleep during midday to avoid the heat. Their large eyes and whiskers aid in helping them transverse their dark environment.

It is sort of based on a jerboa, but it can’t hop. They are very good at speedwalking though.

Edit: I see some new mininykus enjoyers! Reminder that mininykus has its own tag (#mininykus) with more art and speculation!

Edit 2: every few months someone finds this post again so I will make you all look at the real thing:

Made by the incredible artist Book_rat , please give their work some love!

Look at her.

No no no. Don't look away. Look at her.

She doesn't understand why you're frowning.

She wants you to smile.

Give her a smile and she'll be happy too.

Don't let the adorable being be sad too.

Dinocember 2024 Week 1

[a-dinosaur-a-day]

A group of visionaries have figured out how to bring nonavian dinosaurs to the present, and have determined the 10 species that make the best pets and domesticated them, with an oversimplified guide to what modern pet/livestock/husbandry animals they resemble most. you have done the work, you're completely prepared, and today, you're bringing your new friend home.

you will be able to take care of the pet and they will become your best friend for the rest of your lives. there are no downsides to any of these pets apart from what is in the brief description.

the pets, with image descriptions indicating which is which and artist credit, with artist links attached:

Life of our Prehistoric Planet: Mononykus olecranus.

[errantsquam]

prehistoric planet mononykus! except there's like zero info out there on whether the wrist articulates and why does everyone only draw him with secondaries. if he has bird hands shouldn't it be bent like a bird even if it's used for burrowing....idk............

i know primaries feathers are logically more splayed out at that wrist angle but i added primaries anyway. because bird drawing habits die hard. ok thanks for coming to my ted talk if any Cool Paleontologist can provide fun facts that'd be epic
