A lone scutellosaurus forages for food on the forest floor as a light rain begins to fall.

A group of visionaries have figured out how to bring nonavian dinosaurs to the present, and have determined the 10 species that make the best pets and domesticated them, with an oversimplified guide to what modern pet/livestock/husbandry animals they resemble most. you have done the work, you're completely prepared, and today, you're bringing your new friend home.

you will be able to take care of the pet and they will become your best friend for the rest of your lives. there are no downsides to any of these pets apart from what is in the brief description.

the pets, with image descriptions indicating which is which and artist credit, with artist links attached:

Day 30: Scutellosaurus lawleri

Aaaaaand done! I finally took a step out of my digital comfort zone and beat an art challenge with normal pens! (Somewhat, the shading was added digitally, I'm a coward)

Hey, look, there's a little thorny guy looking for food at the mouth of the cave! welcome to my first dioramas illustration. Here I painted two Scutellosaurus lawleri looking for food.

Scutellosaurus lived in the early Jurassic period. Scutellosaurus was a small plant eater of the Thyreophora group, including the stegosaurus and ankylosaurus. It is one of the earliest representatives of armored dinosaurs. Their size is also small, only about 1.5 to 2m long and weighing about 3kg

My first entry for Jurassic July:

Scutellosaurus lawleri, the 1.3-meter-long thyreophoran dinosaur which lived 196 million years ago in what is now the Kayenta Formation Arizona, is perhaps the first in line of the armored ornithopod family which includes later, larger forms such as Stegosaurus and Ankylosaurus. Unlike most other thyreophorans it was small, agile and bipedal with a long, tapering tail. As the most common herbivore of the Kayenta Formation, Scutellosaurus shared its semiarid Early Jurassic habitat creatures such as the prosauropod Sarshsaurus, the sphenodontid reptile Navajosphenodon, various crocodylomorphs and small synapsids, and was probably hunted by Dilophosaurus wetherilli, the top predator of the area.

#Archovember Day 30 - Scutellosaurus lawleri

For our final archosaur, we head to Arizona, USA during the Early Jurassic. Scutellosaurus lawleri was a basal thyreophoran, part of the group which would lead to stegosaurs, nodosaurs, parankylosaurs, and eventually ankylosaurs. But in the Early Jurassic, thyreophorans were small and lightly built, a far cry from the lumbering tanks they would someday become. Scutellosaurus was mostly bipedal, using its long tail as a counterbalance. It had several hundred osteoderms covering its whole body and forming parallel rows, some flat and some pitted.

As more than 70 specimens are known, Scutellosaurus lawleri was probably a fairly common animal. It has been found all over the Kayenta Formation. Its excess of osteoderms was likely due to the amount of predators here. It would have had to look out for the theropods Coelophysis, Kayentavenator, and the apex predator Dilophosaurus. It also lived alongside other herbivorous dinosaurs like the sauropodomorph Sarahsaurus. Early pterosaurs, like the dimorphodontid Rhamphinion, and pseudosuchians like Kayentasuchus also lived here, as well as a variety of early frogs, salamanders, rhynchocephalians, and small synapsids. This environment was an ever changing floodplain, experiencing rainy summers and dry winters at the edge of a large desert.

While working on my new watercolour, the idea that basal thyreophorans like Scutellosaurus, Scelidosaurus, and Jakapil were probably a lot like goats popped into my mind fully formed. Short, stocky creatures with weird horns and bumps. Easy to overlook and not especially charismatic, but in possession of an admirable amount of stick-to-it-ive-ness and generally not giving a fuck what anyone thinks. Probably way stronger than they look and quite stubborn and independent-minded. Probably climbed and ate all sorts of things they weren't supposed to.

Jakapil kaniukura... the new sensation from South America.

Jakapil kaniukura… the new sensation from South America.

Hailed as a “mini-Godzilla”, although frankly I can’t see the resemblance (sorry Hector Munive)… this enigmaatic, tiny, newest of dinosaurs has been assigned to Thyreophora, and reconstructed as a close relative of Scutellosaurus, Scelidosaurus and sundry stegosaurs and ankylosaurs. It would be the first-ever obligatory bipedal armoured dinosaur with arms as puny in proportion as those of a…

In no particular order, my fave projects for this year. There were 70 again, meaning I failed my resolution to work less hard this year.

It was good to finally finish this Caudipteryx. Other sculptor didn't like the feet and I waited like 2 years for him to make new ones before losing patience and doing it myself.

This expressive little cutie:

This little guy has the file name 'cutestsino' and he earned it.

Worked really hard on this new Kulindadromeus with the incredibly unintuitive tail scales, and I'm not going to let the fact that you can't see him get in the way of him being a favorite
