A recent #paleostream sketch showing the giant pterosaur Thanatosdrakon being scarred by lightning strike. These branchung scars are called Lichtenberg figures and can also appear in modern animals and humans

Images like these below were an inspiration for this piece. Pterosaurs are best known from being able to fly, but azhdarchids appear to be very active on the ground and with their held up, long necks you can imagine that they made pretty good lightning rods. Some might have survived it.

Some weird birds.

Text in the photo:

I often heard screaming in the dead of night while camping in the dense German forests. One night, I decided to investigate. I discovered the culprit to be the tiny Devil’s Bat, a fitting name for sure. Who knew such a small creature could make such terrible noise?

The eyespots on the legs also gave me a fright… I thought I had locked gazes with some sort of demon!

Happy Fossil Friday! Let’s fly back in time to the Cretaceous some 110 million years ago to meet Tupuxuara leonardii. This flying reptile had a wingspan of about 15 ft (4.5 m) and a huge fan-shaped crest. But why the elaborate headgear? Scientists think that pterosaurs could have used their distinctive crests to steer during flight, to recognize members of the same species, or to attract mates. Like the crests of some modern birds, they may have also been brightly colored.
