What's your favourite dinosaur design from an indie project?

Even if it's not accurate, I always liked Saurian's very first T. rex - the one with the black vulture coat - the most.

For reasons, am adding links to archived Tet Zoo content again. Can't believe how much I published back in years like 2007.... so many gems there, all now hard or impossible to find due to hosters giving up and losing interest. Anyway: darrennaish.wordpress.com/tetrapod-zoo...

I’ve been asked about de-extinction a lot this weekend, especially whether it’s scientifically possible.

No, it’s not, and Colossal has already been caught lying about their projects. Extinction is forever. We have to grieve and use that feeling to protect the future of life that is here now.

Those Dire Wolves Aren’t an Amazing Scientific Breakthrough. They’re a Disturbing Symbol of Where We’re Heading.

We shouldn’t be celebrating “de-extinction.” We should be focused on the species that are currently in danger.

Here's David Attenborough reading my book All Yesterdays, a photo I took back when we were working on Prehistoric Planet season 2. David owns more than one copy of that book because people kept buying them for him.

#Paleontology lost Dr. Mark Norell, Curator Emeritus-AMNH. Mark's contributions to paleo can't be overstated. A leader in bird/dino evolutionary research & helped "re-open" Gobi/Mongolia to U.S. paleo. Was good to me, shared a few drinks & stories. Bonded over Barnum Brown & T. Roosevelt. RIP
