A Hundred Some New ATOM Kaiju Pt. 3
In this part of the ATOM unfinished kaiju showcase, we're going to focus on a bunch of very similar designs that are all for the same arc: Tyrantor in Love.
In this story, we followed Tyrantor, the son of Tyrantis. It's the 1970's, and the young tyrannopyrodon is finally fully grown and experiencing the mating instinct for the first time. So he descends into the Yamaneon tunnel system in hopes of finding others of his kind.
Early in his journey he runs into two males of his species - Sharp Eye and Blue Brute (the story takes place away from human eyes, so most of the kaiju in it would have names based on what Tyrantor finds notable about them rather than the melodramatic portmanteau names that are standard for ATOM). In sharp contrast to the rivalry that formed between Tyrantis and The Terror, the three young male tyrannopyrodons quickly become friends and decide to explore the tunnels together, figuring it's safer and also will make their scent stronger and easier for others of their kind to follow.
The trio eventually find an enormous cavern filled with other retrosaur kaiju, including more tyrannopyrodons. There is a couple of older adults - Black Queen and Gold King - who have traveled here to shepherd their eldest daughter, Pale Gaze, who like Tyrantor has just reached maturity. They also have a younger son, Sparky, who's pubescent but not quite fully grown, and an adolescent daughter, Small Crown, who is by far the most imperious of the tyrannopyrodons despite her small size and young age.
(Yeah, Black Queen and Gold King lucked out spectacularly as kaiju go, as having this many viable young, all within a few years of each other, is pretty improbable given how kaiju reproduction goes.)
A final four tyrannopyrodons arrive, all female. Largest of them all is Big Quiet, who is uncharacteristically shy and docile for a female of their species. Then there's the punk trio: Gore queen, the de-facto leader, Murder Maw, the most brutal of the three and the one who's been in so many battles that she actually bears scars (again, a rare thing for kaiju given their biology), and finally Bright Hide, who is so named because she has brightly colored scales that are more often sported by male tyrannopyrodons (females tend to have duller color schemes), and who has a dynamic, energetic disposition to match her masculine-by-her-species'-standards color scheme.
All of the tyrannopyrodons in this are *loosely* inspired by various real world tyrannosaurs. To elaborate:
Sharp Eye = Bistahieversor
Blue Brute = Daspletosaurus (one of the more robustly built tyrannosaurs)
Black Queen = Tarbosaurus (a large Asian tyrannosaur)
Gold King = Zhuchengtyrannus (another large Asian tyrannosaur)
Pale Gaze = Gorgosaurus (gorgon, gaze, eh?)
Sparky = Albertosaurus
Small Crown = the now-almost-definitely-proven-to-just-be-a-juvenile-t.rex Nanotyrannus
Big Quiet = Nanuqsaurus (polar bear lizard, big pale tyrannopyrodon)
Gore Queen = Lythronax (the Gore King)
Murder Maw = Teratophoneus (the Murder Monster)
Bright Hide, who would at one point be called a "dynamic terror" in the story = Dynamoterror

#Archovember Day 16 - Shantungosaurus giganteus
While hadrosaurs tend to be perceived as horse or cow-size, there were some intimidatingly huge members of the family. As the largest hadrosaur discovered so far, Shantungosaurus giganteus could reach 15 metres (49 ft) to 16.6 metres (54 ft) long and weigh an estimated 13 metric tons (14 short tons) to 16 metric tons (18 short tons). It lived in Late Cretaceous China, and would have filled a niche typically filled by sauropods in its ecosystem. As these dinosaurs have been found in a mass grave, it’s likely they also traveled in large, formidable herds. Shantungosaurus also had very large nostril holes which were probably covered by flaps of skin that could have inflated to amplify its calls.
Shantungosaurus lived alongside other hadrosaurs like Laiyangosaurus, Tanius, and Tsintaosaurus, all quite large animals but still overshadowed by Shantungosaurus. It would have also lived alongside a diverse array of ceratopsians like Sinoceratops, Ischioceratops, Zhuchengceratops, and Micropachycephalosaurus, as well as the ankylosaur Pinacosaurus and the oviraptorosaur Anomalipes. So far, only one sauropod has been found in this area, Zhuchengtitan, the tallest animal in its ecosystem… beating Shantungosaurus by a neck. The apex predator of this region was the tyrannosaur Zhuchengtyrannus. However, it’s likely would not have been able to take on an adult Shantungosaurus, but could have picked off young or sick individuals that strayed from the herd.

Thoughts on the Tyrannosaurus rex
"Well!"
Oh boy, here we go.
"Long story short, Tyrannosaurus seriously deserves the popularity it has--all that talk about it being one of the most powerful land predators of all top is not hyperbole. It had one of the strongest bites of any animal on Earth, a sense of smell rivaling that of a vulture, and was absolutely massive. Not just tall and long, but heavy and extremely muscular. Tyrannosaurus wasn't fast by any means, but it didn't need to be: it hunted animals that were as big and well-equipped for self-defense as modern elephants--and some were even bigger than that."
"It helps that we have a LOT of fossils of Tyrannosaurus--a testament to its success, to be honest. There wasn't really anything like it in the fossil record, even among its ancestors... though Tarbosaurus and Zhuchengtyrannus definitely came close."
"All in all, it was one of the most kickass animals to ever exist, and you can quote me on that."

I kind of want to post more dinosaurs now.
Zhuchengtyrannus magnus was a Tyrannosaurid that lived in the Shandong Province, China during the Late Cretaceous period (73.5 mya). This animal was may have been 0–12 m (33–39 ft) in length and weighed up to 6 short tons (5.4 t) in weight, making it smaller than the largest Tyrannosaur specimens. The name means "Zhucheng tyrant".

I started this Zhuchengtyrannus sketch sometime last week during my sociology class. I want to try to do a digital painting of this Zhuchengtyrannus stalking a pair of hiding pachycephalosaurs, with a focus on shadows and light. #tyrannosaur #tyrannosaurus #tyrannosaurid #zhuchengtyrannus #pachycephalosaur #pachycephalosaurus #titanosaur #dinosaur #dinosaurart #paleoart #paleontology #paleobiology #art #traditionalart #drawing #sketch #doodle #animals #animalart #animalanatomy #anatomy #wildlifeart #wildlife #naturalhistory #naturalhistoryillustration #naturalhistoryart https://www.instagram.com/p/B8yPPYpF1iS/?igshid=1fhez9sak96fw

Ensure you get your eager hands on a copy of The Littlest Empress!
That’s right, gang, I’m taking orders for The Littlest Empress now through to next Tuesday! (May 10-16, 2017)
It will be 10$CAD for Canadians to buy, and 16$CAD for international buyers--this includes you, USA. This is by no means a commitment to buying the comic, but hey, I’m gonna be printing and possibly signing a copy especially for you, so maybe really consider if you’re gonna be willing to pay when I send out invoices, since I’m basically taking your words on this, and I really want you to want this.
And so we don’t end on that realist note, any leftover copies will be put up for sale after my comic festivals and pre-order shipments are complete. Leftover books will be the same price; this form just guarantees you’ll get one!
Thank you for your excitement and patronage, and here’s to many more dinosaur comics should this venture prove fruitful!

While newer evidence suggests that Tyrannosaurus most likely evolved from an Asian genera of Tyrannosaur (i.e. Zhuchengtyrannus & Tarbosaurus) that migrated to North America; Is it also possible that an American genera of Tyrannosaur (i.e. Thanatotheristes & Daspletosaurus) migrated to Asia, evolved and/or interbred with the Asian genera & their descendants eventually migrated back to North America and evolved into Tyrannosaurus?
It’s certainly physically possible. In fact, if we take the results of recent phylogenetic analyses of tyrannosauroids at face value, then it seems plausible that earlier ancestors of Tyrannosaurus (e.g., the last common ancestor it shared with Daspletosaurus, or the one it shared with Lythronax) may well have lived in North America before giving rise to the (presumably) Asian lineage that then evolved into Tyrannosaurus. Inferring the ancestral distribution of organisms is often tricky though.

I am really confused about dinosaur genuses. If we call most dinosaurs by their genus, how can we tell genuses apart? Were their more tyranosauri than T. rex?
Here’s the thing - genera (plural of genus!) aren’t real. They’re a bookkeeping system that biologists have come up with to easily refer to a group of organisms. There’s no one way to tell genera apart - it depends on the amount of anatomical differences, the prevailing usage by researchers, etc.
There have been (and continue to be) workers to consider other species of Tyrannosaurus to exist - Tarbosaurus bataar is often cited as a species of Tyrannosaurus, as is Zhuchengtyrannus magnus. “Nanotyrannus lancensis” is sometimes considered a unique species of Tyrannosaurus as well, but is almost certainly just a juvenile T. rex.
There are, of course, lots of dinosaur genera that have multiple species, though more than two is pretty uncommon. The champion is Psittacosaurus, with something like eight generally recognised species!
