School is bogging down my creative process with things such as papers and tests… ugh. Might be able to squeeze out some art soon though. :/
Life List
Being a lover of nature alive and extinct, I keep track of the species that I encounter in the wild. My "life list has just cracked 350 species! I try to photograph the animals I see as well. Does anyone else document the animals they have seen?
Highlights on my list include, Mountain goat, Grizzly Bear, Banded Gecko, Ferruginous Hawk, Fisher, Stellar's Jay, and Great Horned Owl.
Jurassic World
I finally saw it last week. I was initially apprehensive about the movie, but I had heard great things, so my hopes were high. Sadly, the movie fell very flat for me. I think it is the worst of the series. The lack of interesting characters, scatterbrained plot and most of all, too much/half-assed cgi, along with poor creature design.

Even the star, the mutated Indominus… looks like it was done last minute compared to the original jurassic park, now 20 something years old. Every single dinosaur looked g

A NEW AMPHICOELIAS PAPER HAS DROPPED!!!
This paper basically sums up that if Amphicoelias was real and correctly described by Cope, it was absolutely huge. They estimate vertebra height at 2.80 meters, with a centrum 90cm wide, and a femur length of 4.76 meters!!! I'll save the estimates of body size for another post, but that indicates a 70+ meter 150+ ton animal. Anyway, the paper then follows with ecological studies that indicate that such a huge animal is beyond the bounds of it's environment. (I don't buy it) :) And that Cope may have made a mistake in his measurements. They propose the 1500mm vertebral height Cope typed should hav
