At some point the international community, not just protesters, will have to ENFORCE an end to coal, oil and eventually gas. By military means, if necessary. Why? To protect their national interests from an economy-destroying climate. When? Sooner than we think.

Amazing new data on the edmontosaur soft tissue head crest, with implications for other hadrosaurs too! Crennulated margins and cock's comb-like shapes inferred for lambeosaurines... anatomypubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/... #dinosaurs

Fully agreed. In a series filled with obvious superstars and set after their heyday I didn't expect phorusrhacids to be given as much love as they were, but they were portrayed marvelously. Easily one of my favorite segments in #PrehistoricPlanetIceAge, and that's not for lack of competition.

Of all the wonderful depictions of Pleistocene life shown in Prehistoric Planet: Ice Age, few can compare with the beauty and realism of these psilopterines. I don't think I'm exaggerating to say this is the first and only time terror birds have been done properly in a documentary.
