endurance hunters — been practising some creative writing, ended up with this little sequential piece using lines from a few different haiku! i really like the idea of smaller tyrannosaurs like nanotyrannus overwhelming large prey by just showing up and following them for days. two-legged endurance predators in general is such an awesome niche. i’m leaving defining the species ambiguous since this was more of an exercise in dramatically illustrating ecological patterns, but feel free to project any dynamic onto these guys

sketch: a cloudy day in late Cretaceous Utah - a pair of Lythronax stride through an upland floodplain, scanning for prey or potential rivals had to draw more small tyrannosaurids tbh, smaller bone crushing dinosaurs are always awesome and loved to me, based these lythronax on spotted hyaena and i really liked how they came out in the end!

(synapsid aquatic life in the mesozoic)

Massive pelagocaudid ‘whales’ engage in play. This earlier whale-like species still bears rudder-like legs for hugging Jurassic coastlines while hunting rival aquadonts.

Cryptocaudus, first of the huge amphibious Pelagocaudans lives something like a bizzare tropical seal, with a huge tail for ambush hunting in Jurassic shallows, interspersed with occasional open ocean hunts

A true non-mammalian relic of the Permian, Priscoidus. This synapsid hails from a lineage of surviving dicynodonts that dominated the oceans until the end-Triassic extinction. Aquadonts would be the equivalent of plesiosaurs and mosasaurs to the dicynodont 'ichthyosaurs'.
