The fossil of an adult pterodactyl has sent waves of excitement across the scientific community. The pterodactyl was about the size of a sparrow, but had the fully developed bones of an adult. As the smallest pterodactyl on record, it helps to further build the bridge between dinosaurs and birds as we know them today.
Seriously, though, that’s just about the cutest dinosaur I’ve ever seen. And since our visualization of dinosaurs is purely based on artists’ creative license, pictures like this will forever be imprinted in my brain as real. I’d like to personally thank this artist for his creativity. The artist even stuck a ladybug in the animal’s mouth to illustrate how small it is. He also stuck a droplet of water about to fall off the tip of the leaf to symbolize how ephemeral life is. The creature evolves. The creature goes extinct. Or maybe the artist was just showing off his mad painting skills with a glistening droplet of water. I prefer to think that the artist took a cool picture with a water droplet he found on the internet and simply painted over it now including the dinosaur. That way our self-esteem isn’t lowered by the photo-realism of the picture, which must have been created in a very short time to come out in the news so quickly. Sorry, I’m bored today.
