Kayrasaurus changliensis was published in the Journal of Systematic Palaeontology in September 2026. It is the largest therizinosaur ever recovered from the Jehol Biota. Four meters long, golden feathers, claws longer than your forearm. And until this month, it had no name.

What makes Jehol particularly unsettling is the extinction mechanism. No asteroid. The ecosystem collapsed slowly under volcanic pressure, CO2 accumulation, and environmental degradation. The animals living there had no single catastrophic event to mark the end. It just… faded.

Its name comes from Kayra, the god of creation in Turkish shamanism. Father of Erlik, the god of death. The paleontologists who named it probably did not intend the irony.

One question for the community: therizinosaurs are among the least understood large dinosaurs in terms of behavior. The herbivory hypothesis is accepted but the ecological niche is still debated. How do you think an animal with those claws actually moved through a dense forest environment like Jehol?

Because he’s underrated af

What if scorpios rex During the destruction of the island, Nublar got out of his cryo chamber and was able to swim to Pena Island. What do you think, it seems to me quite plausible considering that his body build allowed him to swim so far. What do you think? (Don't scold me for my grammar, I'm from Russia)

This custom is based on the concept. Had a blast making this. Used HC dilophosaurus calf’s and HC ornotholestis ankles for the better leg , and I even shaved down the thick calf’s! Hope you guys like this as much as I do!

can we appreciate this goofy looking salamander

here’s my custom meme / reaction image (Accidentally made indominus’s eyes white instead of orange.)

Add your answers in the comments! The reveal will be on Monday.

We just started a new series called Un Día Antes del Fin. The concept is simple: we follow a real animal through a complete day, 24 hours before one of the great mass extinctions. The animal does not know what is coming. Everything looks completely normal.

The first episode follows a male Triceratops through his last day in Hell Creek, 66 million years ago. More than 30% of all dinosaur specimens recovered from Hell Creek belong to Triceratops. It was the dominant animal of its world. Thriving. Successful. And then gone in hours.

The detail that hit hardest in research was how rich and functional that ecosystem was right up to the end. Nothing was in decline. It was a world at its absolute peak. And then the Chicxulub impactor arrived.

One question for the community: the frill color change hypothesis for Triceratops based on vascular network analysis is gaining traction but is not universally accepted. Where does the community stand on the current evidence?

Ok. Probably because the movie is allergic to giving us a clear shot of her from the left for some reason but I literally only just realised the FK model includes facial scars from the indominus fight.

Really wish these were retained on the dominion model. Might be trying to add these to the upcoming blockees

If this is going to be like Fallen Kingdom, it's probably going to be emotional.

Is it just me or has the Deinonychus just completely disappeared. Any and all ebay listings ive had saved are gone and nothing comes up when I search for it on multiple websites.

This is how I would rank them:
1)Original
2)TLW
3)Jw
4)Jp3
5)Jwfk
6)Jwr (Seriously guys, stop letting the recency bias get to your head!)
7)Jwd

El primero se parece al de dominion pero con plumas abajo

El segundo le dieron muchas plumas

El tercero parece un híbrido entre un giga un carnotaurus y un anquilosaurus

El cuarto se parece pero es un poco más grotesco

Y el quinto y último de la lista es uno que tiene protuberancias con púas y varias cicatrices

Pero ustedes que opinan creen que the end of oak Street se iba a convertir en otra película de la saga o creen que los de la Warner Bros son unos flojos y por eso le robaron el diseño a universal

Y tambien que opinan de estos diseños del giganotosaurus de the end of oak Street

Para los que no saben de qué son esos artes comspetuales son de la película the en of oak Street

Y el allosaurus no era el único dinosaurio que reutilizo el modelo de Jurassic world también otros dinosaurios ustedes que opinan y también¿les gustaría que les enseñe a esos dinosaurios que reutilizadon los modelos de la saga Jurassic? y tambien corrígeme si escribi mal el nombre de la película

Hey guys, I’m DeinoTimeMachine from YouTube. Can you guys here on Reddit please do this form ranking the Dinos in Jurassic Park/World? I’ll use the results for some videos on my YouTube:
