Its so Weird seeing Styracosaurus being the Same Size as the Nothosaurus

(I'm still Not used to the Styracosaurus isn't as Big as other Giant Ceratopsians like the Triceratops)

[paleobeastentertainment]

The first dinosaur that appears in the show (unless you count the hatching baby Plateosaurus). An early relative of the Jurassic carnivore Dilophosaurus, Liliensternus was one of the largest land predators during the Triassic Period.

Dino of the day:

Coelophysis:

The Coelophysis (Hollow one) was named by Edward Drinker Cope‭ ‬in 1889.

It is a carnivore dinosaur.

The Coelophysis time period was the Carnian to Norian of the Triassic.

It is a frequently used dinosaur to show the early dinosaurs.

The Coelophysis has hollow bones inaide making it light and it was a small dinosaur. It also had long legs making it easy to catch prey.

Like all theropods, Coelophysis was bipedal.

Coelophysis probably hunted by sight, and was active during the day.

Bittersweet appreciation because I think about these guys more than I should

Laika 🫶 - name means 'barker' and 'loyal'

I know it was for science and everything but I can never help thinking about how she was lifted from the streets, prepared for such a huge thing bigger than she would ever know. Given love and shelter while she trained, then when she was sent off, knowing she wouldn't survive.

I think about her passing away a lot, she had to have been lonely, overwhelmed and whining for anyone to come help her. Love and appreciation for this wonderful little soul, wish I could give her all the affection she deserved

Lyuba 🫶 - name means 'love'

A 1 month old female mammoth calf found frozen in ice, she is almost perfectly mummified and her death was choking and must have been so panicked but she gives us so much knowledge of the past, of her species. Giving us more information than any of her ancestors that lived full lives.

She still had some of her mother's milk in her as well, some part of her mum forever being with her and keeping her safe

The Odd Couple 🫶

They may have died separately or together, but now they've kept eachother company for millenia. We won't know their story but the thought of these 2 species, terrified and seeking sanctuary from the violence of their surroundings before succumbing to it.

Maybe they had a symbiotic relationship, maybe they fought before being washed in, whatever it was, now they're together forever, huddled together for warmth and comfort.

If u know of any more please add on to this, I swear I'm not tryna make ppl cry

MaySozoic Day 28: Tanystropheus

The Anazah are, by all accounts, near globally aware of this species, but due to the fact they lived in the Campanian, they have no strict idea what exactly these creatures were.

Some believed them old plesiosaurs, some crocodiles, others snake... most believed them to be a mix of any of those three.

—

The Triassic period was the first period of the Mesozoic era and occurred between 251.9 million and 201.3 million years ago.

It followed the great mass extinction at the end of the Permian period and was a time when life outside of the oceans began to diversify.

Random fun fact: Sharks are older than trees and dinosaurs

Trees appeared during the Devonian period, between 419 million to 358 million years ago.

Dinosaurs appeared during the Triassic period, between 243 and 233.23 million years ago  ( there was life before the Triassic but this time period is the most famous. )

Sharks appered during the Late Ordovician Period, around 450 million years ago.

I submit to you that the most iconic feature of any animal is either unlikely or impossible to fossilize.

If all we had of wolves were their bones we would never guess that they howl.

If all we had of elephants were fossils with no living related species, we might infer some kind of proboscis but we’d never come up with those ears.

If all we had of chickens were bones, we wouldn’t know about their combs and wattles, or that roosters crow.

We wouldn’t know that lions have manes, or that zebras have stripes, or that peacocks have trains, that howler monkeys yell, that cats purr, that deer shed the velvet from their antlers, that caterpillars become butterflies, that spiders make webs, that chickadees say their name, that Canada geese are assholes, that orangutans are ginger, that dolphins echolocate, or that squid even existed.

My point here is that we don’t know anything about dinosaurs. If we saw one we would not recognize it. As my evidence I submit the above, along with the fact that it took us two centuries to realize they’d been all around us the whole time.
