    He should really be sharing that time machine, imagine how many nature was metal arguments you’d win.

    This looks like the pteranodon equivalent of one of those photos of an attractive woman flipping her wet hair

    It's not, as Pteranodon's eyes were rather small and high up on the skull. The smaller crest on a juvenile or female would make it look more out of place.

    As a very young child in the '70s one of my books stated that Pteranadon was 'the greatest freak of all time' and almost impossible to imagine flying.

    2 years later Quetz was discovered.

    This guy's work is fucking beautiful every time I see it. Just takes my breath away. I can't do photorealism or photobashing, it's much too confusing to me, but I can paint, and this still is so impressive to me as a different art form. Wow!

    its amazing art but looks like rushomg water, no way a flying animal would play in rushing water

    but I dont want to detract from how sublime the art is

    And the original image is a fake picture of an extinct animal. I could send a dozen more links of ducks literally surfing river rapids, but I believe the point is moot.
