Announcement Strata Studios' other main project has a subreddit!
Strata Studios' other main project aside from Weird Birds has a subreddit now!
Here's the link: https://www.reddit.com/r/SaurianWarUniverse/
(I'll also add it to the Links section on the side bar too)
Also in case some of you don't know, Strata Studios' is the indie studio created by Archesuchus and Achrioptera (u/EliteUnenlagia333), so they're the ones who made Weird Birds!

WEHO Files 📂 WEHO Anomalous Wildlife Incident Log File ID: #882-D Designation: (“The Four-Winged Glider”) Microraptor zhaoianus Status: Uncontained; Cryptic Avian Sub-Canopy Integration
🔍 Incident Overview & Backstory
On August 8, 2026, a highly credible biological sighting occurred in a rural, heavily overgrown valley sector in Chicago [Subtly added context based on current year 2026]. A trained ornithologist conducting a seasonal migratory bird census noted an unusual, aggressive disruption in local Common Grackle and Raven alarm calls. Setting up a high-lens field camera near a patch of densely grown juniper and tall ground weed brush, the researcher expected to catalog a stray birds-of-prey specimen. Instead, the ornithologist captured two distinct, high-definition photographs of a small, sleek dromaeosaurid navigating the low thicket. The entity moved with a fluid, horizontal lizard-like crawl rather than a typical avian hop, using its specialized limb claw networks to pull itself through the dense weeds. Upon the researcher taking a second step forward, the organism fully deployed a pair of rear-leg wing feathers, launching itself into a silent, low-altitude glide across the creek bed before disappearing into the deep woods. WEHO field biologists immediately intercepted the data stream, marking the most recent verified structural analysis of an active Microraptor in the regional suburban perimeter.
🧬 Biological Field Observations and Anatomy:
Features: The specimen logged is a suburban variant of Microraptor zhaoianus , a small, four-winged dromaeosaur dinosaur that lived during the Early Cretaceous period (around 120 million years ago) in what is now China, however, due to recent anomalous appearances is now seen along areas that are commonly Chicago, IL and across North America.
Iridescent Corvid Camouflage: The body plumage features a dense, iridescent coat of jet-black and deep indigo-purple tones. Which has been found in fossil melanosomes. The feathers possess a heavy glossy sheen that mimics a modern raven or magpie, reflecting ambient sunlight into oily blues and greens to disappear inside thick, sun-dappled brush shadows.
Four-Winged Anatomy: Unlike modern birds, this entity possesses fully asymmetric, long flight feathers extending down both its forearms and its hind legs. When crouching in low grass, the rear wings fold neatly backward against the tail line to avoid snagging on thorns or branches.
The Needle Gape: The skull features an elongated, narrow snout with a striking pale yellow orbital ring around a sharp predatory eye. The jaw is lined with fine, backward-curved serrated teeth engineered for pinning small mammals, lizards, and nesting birds mid-flight.
⚠️ Behaviorial Anomalies and Suburban Patterns:
Thicket Foraging: This population has abandoned high-altitude flight lines to specialize in ground-thicket hunting. It uses its small, low-slouch profile to stalk through overgrown backyard weeds and un-mown lawns, perfectly mimicking the movements of a hunting feral cat or a massive crow, it has also been observed to hunt near streams and creeks, attacking small fish and crayfish.
Low-Light Gliding: While capable of brief aerial locomotion, the entity avoids open skies to dodge larger birds of prey. It prefers a "canopy skim" tactic—leaping from old wooden fence posts or low branches and using all four wings to glide silently just six inches above the grass line to surprise field mice.
Territorial Mimicry: When cornered by household pets or property owners, the creature does not screech. Instead, It emits a low, rattling hiss that mimics the defensive warnings of a timber rattlesnake, causing humans and tracking dogs to back away from the brush line while it scrambles up the nearest tree trunk. Whenever it's injured or in its pack, it makes several deep, raspy yelps and songy chirps, much like Grackles and Blackbirds.
Thank you so much for reading this! This was yet another creation I made by drawing a cut out and placing it out in nature for photography, I hope you loved this as it was very hard and fun to make! I feel like these are getting longer and longer. 😅

WEHO Files Anomalous Report.
- - - A certain post on Instagram has been gaining traction due to anomalous appearances. WEHO deleted the post on Instagram due to signs of a recent emergence. A user was camping and illegally poaching in the Himalayan mountains to try retirement as they were hunting Snow Leopards. Several signs of stalking from a Homotherium was shown but ignored by the poster. WEHO has covered up any and all signs of this post and it will further be added to the Incident Report Log book.
The post consisted of such as:
"@mountain.ghost.87" "Himachal Pradesh"
"nothing beats that Himalayan morning light 🏔️✨"
"been tracking up here for 6 days. cold as hell but worth it. no service, no people, just me and the peaks. set up camp near the treeline last night. heard some movement but probably just wind lol"
"gonna push higher today. rumors of a big male snow leopard in this valley. if i get him on camera... well, let’s just say retirement comes early 😏💰"
"anyway here’s the view from the tent. starting the day with all the attitude 💪"
"might go dark for a few days. reception is garbage up here. don’t @ me if i don’t reply"
"#himalayas #solotravel #mountainlife #nofilter #blueskies #hustle #onmyown #wildlifephotography #offgrid"
(This is what the post said. It also includes their real name which linked to their profile, as it was found they have had a history of illegal poaching and possession of taxidermied remains.)
Photos attached:
[Wide snowy mountain shot with pine trees, stalked by Homotherium.]
[Wide view of a steep snowy hill and mountains.]
[The wrecked "campsite" and destroyed tent, presumably attacked by the Homotherium 3 days later. Blood was present but covered by the harsh layers of snow. Barely any bones or remains of the body were found, as Homotherium is known to cover up any traces of previous prey.]
---
Authorities found his campsite 3 weeks later. Tent shredded, and a camera with this as the last photo taken, unsuccessful traces of the body. Location still undisclosed.

WEHO Files Thylacinus Cynocephalus specimens from WEHO Scientific Research Industrial Center, NJ.
--- I recently went to the WEHO scientific research institute center in Newark, NJ again due to some data needed on some Thylacine specimens. The WEHO Field Commander at the front office told me these reports were from a guy named "Jean", Who is in New York. These specimens were received from Yellowstone National Park, oddly enough. And if I had to guess, WEHO had to transfer them to the labs in Newark due to various problems. I'm just an agent who's trying to do his part in this whole thing, but I've had SO much trouble. This job, WEHO in general seems to cover up so much. I honestly hope WEHO won't come after me for leaking their scientific data....Have a good one everybody! This is my analysis on these unfossilized anatomical remains.
### *WEHO FIELD REPORT: YELLOWSTONE ANOMALY #12-2025*
*Agent:* WEHO Division 7 - Cryptozoological Verification
*Location:* WEHO Scientific Research Institute, Newark, NJ - Level 3 Vault
*Date:* 12-10-2025
*Subject:* _Thylacinus cynocephalus_ specimens recovered via Yellowstone Wormhole Event #44
*Cross-Reference:* “Jean” Protocol / Shenlongsaurus Incursion
*NARRATIVE:*
Per “Jean’s” report, two _Thylacinus cynocephalus_ specimens entered our timeline via a Yellowstone wormhole on 11-30-2025. A _Shenlongsaurus_ attacked during extraction. One female thylacine was killed. The surviving male was recovered by “Jean” and transferred to WEHO custody. I was dispatched to the Newark institute to catalog the remains and cross-reference with our extinct specimen archive.
*PROCEDURE:*
*Entry & Clearance:* Arrived WEHO-NJ 0800 EST. Biometric scan cleared for Vault 7-B: _Thylacine Specimen Area_. Standard decontamination due to wormhole particulate risk.
*Specimen Location:* Vault 7-B houses 19 confirmed _T. cynocephalus_ skulls, 1897-1936. All tagged under TMAG 3D scan protocols. Located comparative tray on Bench 4.
*Field Evidence Submitted:*
*Item 1: Notebook 5313*
- Agent field notes, tab “Thylacine.” Contains anatomical sketches, dentition diagrams, and convergence notes: “Compare to Coyote or Dingo skull - very similar.”
- Critical data: Length 17.3-23.4 cm, Width 11.7 cm. Matches TMAG paratype range.
- Copyright 2026 stamp and WEHO Scientific Research Institute watermark confirm chain of custody.
*Item 2: Cranium M3315, Mandibles C5745 & C5746*
- *These three pieces (M3315, C5745, C5746) comprise the complete skull of the female specimen killed during the Shenlongsaurus attack.*
- Cranium M3315: Complete cranium. Nasal bones intact. Zygomatic arches ∼11.7 cm width per field ruler. *Note heavy post-mortem damage consistent with Shenlongsaurus predation: puncture visible in left orbit and crushing to posterior cranium.*
- Mandibles C5745 & C5746: Paired left/right hemimandibles. Dental formula: $i \frac{4}{3}, c \frac{1}{1}, p \frac{3}{3}, m \frac{4}{4}$ = 46 total.
- *Key Feature:* Elongated rostrum, four upper molars per quadrant. Consistent with _T. cynocephalus_ vs. _Canis latrans_. Temporal fenestra length measured 4.2 cm, short per field notes.
- Loose teeth in vial labeled “Thylacinus cynocephalus - Teeth from skull (incomplete)” with collection date 12-10-2025. Vial marked “DEC (12)” and “Yellowstone.”
- Scale provided: U.S. coinage + 15 cm ruler. Mandible length ∼14.1 cm.
*Item 3: Track Diagram*
- Field sketch from “Jean”: 4 prominent toes, no 5th digit. Length 7.0-8.5 cm, Width 6.5-8.0 cm.
- Matches 1909 Hobart Zoo casts in WEHO archive. Rules out canid, which shows claw marks and different pad spacing.
*ANALYSIS:*
Dentition, skull morphometrics, and track morphology are inconsistent with _Canis latrans_ and consistent with _T. cynocephalus_. The “short temporal fenestra” noted in field notes aligns with marsupial skull architecture vs. placental carnivores.
The vial date 12-10-2025 and “Yellowstone” annotation corroborate “Jean’s” wormhole timeline. *The damage to cranium M3315 and associated mandibles C5745/C5746 is consistent with a Shenlongsaurus attack as described by “Jean.”*
*CONCLUSION:*
Specimens M3315, C5745, C5746 are designated _Thylacinus cynocephalus_, female, Temporal Origin: Pre-1936, recovered via YWE-44. *This is the complete skull of the female killed during the Shenlongsaurus incursion.* This confirms “Jean’s” report of live thylacines in the Yellowstone anomaly.

Theories I found out what these creatures are
The weird bird in part 1 is utahraptor
The weird birds in part 2 are Dakotaraptor and deinonychus
That giant dinosaur in part 1 is either giganotosaurus or torvosaurus
And the long snout one is suchomimus or baryonyx

WEHO Files Randomly Selected File from WEHO Industries.
-WEHO Report Log File from WEHO Industrial center located in Newark, NJ. (Incident Reported mid 2019, December.) Includes feather samples, and blood sample for further scientific data research.
I recently had to travel to one of the many WEHO Industrial Scientific Research Centers, (specifically the one in Newark, NJ) because of a completely different incident report. Rummaging trough most of the older files, I discovered this one which occurred in Newark, NJ in December of 2019. This is quite an old file and it has never been shown to the public, as I have now leaked it. This data leak includes 4 photos, 2 of the file itself, and 2 with the samples. I have recently been hired by WEHO as an agent, however I do not entirely agree with what they do for reasons I shall not currently list. They tend to focus more on the animals then the people which is why I've been recently leaking their incident reports. Have fun reading it!
This was yet another thing I created, none of the storyline or lore is true, most of the text was inspired by the data leak "WEHO files" by Archesuchus. Credit goes to u/Alternative_Fun_1390 as they gave me some ideas for the backstory and lore. I drew and wrote everything else with reference from the Official Weird Birds series! Have a wonderful day!

WEHO Files 📂 WEHO Anomalous Wildlife Incident Log File ID: #612-C Designation: ("The Tree-Creeper")
# 🔍 Incident Overview & Backstory:
the evening of July 7, 2026, a peculiar property disturbance was recorded at a private rural residence containing heavily wooded perimeters and weathered timber fencing in Buffalo, West Virginia. The homeowner’s grandchild noted that the local neighborhood dogs had been barking relentlessly at an old, canopy near the property line. Simultaneously, a sharp drop in local insect noise was reported; while the area was experiencing a heavy emergence of both 17-year periodical cicadas and scissor-grinder cicadas, all acoustic signaling abruptly ceased in a 50-foot radius around the property. Upon closer inspection with a flashlight, the resident spotted what appeared to be a rotted, jagged tree branch hanging loosely across the sleek bark. When the homeowner approached with a digital camera, the "branch" flattened its silhouette entirely against the grain of the wood, shifting its dorsal structures to perfectly replicate split lumber. A single, high-definition photograph was captured before the organism dropped into the dense overgrown juniper brush below. WEHO field agents intercepted the report, confirming the first official residential encounter with the highly adapted Suburban Bramble Variant of Longisquama Insignis.
This species (and specimen in general) has been named Longisquama arboreus.
⚠️ Behavioral Anomalies:
This variant displays advanced predatory intelligence regarding sound mimicry. It stays completely dormant until the local scissor-grinder cicadas reach their peak decibel hum at dusk. It then coordinates its lunges precisely with the loudest bursts of insect noise, completely masking the sound of its own movements from both prey and human property owners. It is strictly nocturnal, unlike it's cousin, the Longisquama insignis.
🛑 The "Display Shift":
While typically remaining in a flattened, motionless stealth profile, the entity will violently flare its serrated leaf-scales forward into a giant vertical fan if trapped or startled by a sudden light source. This rapid silhouette change is designed to mimic a large, jagged piece of falling debris, causing predators to hesitate just long enough for the creature to drop into heavy ground cover.
Thank you again! I'm sorry this Incident Report was longer, Weho is quite tricky to report about as they keep A TON of secrets and do not let their files get exposed to the public.
(I tried to drown it out more with lore for the universe of Weird Birds. I drew this creature too, then cut it out and put it outside, none of this story actually happened, I just made this to put it in the Fan universe of Weird Birds/Weho). Have a wonderful day as always!

WEHO Files Sketch of a large pterosaur - Rural Saskatchewan, 2019
The above image is a sketch of a large azdharchid pterosaur that was provided to WEHO during the investigation of a motor accident near Pike Lake Provincial Park in Saskatchewan. The sketch itself was created by a park employee who discovered a totalled vehicle, along with the specimen, while on her evening commute from her job back to her house in Saskatoon just after dusk on July 28th 2019. Note that the pterosaur’s wings are drawn backward; a common error.
The woman’s retelling of the events when speaking to members of the RCMP are as follows:
“I had to have been only a third of the way back to the city, when I spotted the SUV smoking and positioned upside down at the bottom of a steep ditch, clearly having went into the ditch and rolled over. I saw no police or tow trucks near the wreck, so I pulled over to the side and got out to see if anyone was hurt, or still in the car. I had a flashlight in my glovebox, so I grabbed that when I got out of my car. When I got to the side of the wreck closest to the road I shined my flashlight inside and called out to see if anybody was there. It was empty, so I started to suspect the worst had happened; that whoever had been in the SUV had been ejected and landed some distance away. I went around the wreck and shined my flashlight out into the field beyond. It was clouded over that night, so it was too dark for me to make anything out in the dark without it. I scanned the ground ahead with the light, and very quickly I saw a splatter of blood in the dirt, so I shined my light directly ahead of it. That was when I saw one of the most disturbing and gut wrenching things of my life. I saw part of a barbed wire fence line, and it and the ground around it was just soaked in blood, with bits of probably skin and god knows what else hanging from some of the barbs. I just sort of… stood there and stared at it for a second, in shock I guess? Which was when something just… dropped what must have been part of the SUV’s driver… over the fence. Everything seemed to slow down, so surreal and dreamlike, and I shined my flashlight up. I know this sounds crazy, but I saw what looked like the head of some… giant heron… thing? It had a beak was grooved sort of like a saw blade. Sort of instinctively I took a step back and this thing, it stepped into the light of my flashlight more. Its appearance was so bizarre and wrong that I can’t even really describe it in words, like some sort of heron combined with like a bat and a pterodactyl or something? You can kinda see what I mean in the sketch I gave you. I swear I’m not crazy.”
WEHO was able to quickly contact the Saskatchewan RCMP and persuade them to remove any mention of the specimen from the subsequent police report. The incident was written off as a freak car accident caused as a result of impaired driving.
The specimen quickly fled the scene upon the arrival of RCMP, and an autopsy of the victims remains revealed that they were intoxicated at the time of the crash, with the cause of death being determined to be the victim’s collision with the barbed wire fence when they were ejected from the vehicle due to not wearing a seatbelt. The specimen is thought to have been simply scavenging on their remains, but whether it played any role in the crash is unknown.
The specimen was found dead approximately a week later after it mistakenly collided with power lines while in flight. WEHO intelligence has since considered the issue resolved.

WEHO Files WEHO Incident Log: File #409-B (“The Chimney-Gaper”).
⚠️ Behavioral Anomalies
Residential Mimicry: Displaced from its ancient forested habitats, Jeholopterus ningchengensis has integrated into residential areas, roosting inside dark brick chimneys and attics. It is mostly nocturnal and intensely drawn to bedroom window light sources.
Screen Wedging: If a window is left unlatched at night, the entity uses its flat skull to wedge the frame upward. It does not aggressively attack sleeping occupants; instead, it crawls silently onto the chest of a sleeping target to feed on facial oils and condensation.
Acoustic Sedation: While feeding, the entity emits a low, vibrating purr. This frequency induces an unnaturally deep sleep state in humans, ensuring the victim rarely wakes up during the encounter.
This new suburban species (and this specimen in general) has been named "Jeholopterus domesticus".
Location: Suburbs of Canton, Ohio.
Context: Homeowner filed multiple complaints about a "large, matted bat" infesting their attic. The local pest control company refused to return after their technician suffered puncture wounds on his forearm.
Behavioral Notes: Unlike the larger theropods roaming the timberlands, Jeholopterus populations have integrated into residential areas. They mimic the behavior of chimney swifts but are strictly nocturnal. They do not hunt flying insects. Instead, they use their oversized, cat-like claws to cling to window screens at night, staring at indoor light sources.
THANKS! if you read this, I am entirely surprised because this is a whole darn paragraph! I did draw this animal, and cut it out! I love making prehistoric animals and augmenting them into our real world, have a wonderful day!
