August POTM Contest
Descendants of Dinosaurs
Have you ever opened the door of your parrot’s cage and instead of seeing your darling bird saw a dinosaur perched in the cage instead?
***
The present scientific consensus is that birds are a group of therapod dinosaurs that originated during the Mesozoic era.
Fossil evidence also demonstrates that birds and dinosaurs shared features such as hollow, pneumatized bones, gastroliths in the digestive system, nest-building and brooding behaviors.
Excerpt from, Origin of Birds by
Gerhard Heilmann & Wikipedia
Dinosaurs left to right: Dilophosaurus, T-Rex,
Brontosaurus, Velociraptor, and Triceratops.
And of course
Pterodactyl
Please enter a photo of your modern day dinosaur and tell us which known species of dinosaur he or she reminds you of and why. A dinosaur of your choice that isn’t pictured will be happily accepted.
Entries for this contest will be accepted until midnight August 28. The polls will be open from August 29 through August 31. The winner will be announced September 1st. The winner will receive a one year supporting membership and the winning photo will be on the PF’s front page for the month of September. Photos only in this contest, please. One submission per member. As always, Just For Fun photos and conversations are always welcome.
The Mod Team decided to do something different this month and make this month a group effort!
We are all sharing the fun, and are so excited for another fantastic month of entries!
Examples:
Terry: My example is Dactyl/Pterodactyl because of the bristles on his face. I also think he would disown me if I didn't pick him
Allee: My example is Harry/Velociraptor. I know she’s a direct descendant of the velociraptors by the way she hunts her prey, she’s a very clever girl, she hides and stalks me then launches a full on attack when I’m least expecting it. Stealth, speed and no fear.
Scott: My example is Squeaky/baby Archaeopteryx, a "transition between non-avian feathered dinosaurs and modern birds." Guess he's patiently awaiting food from his human servant.
Enjoy the contest!
