do not be sorry that is an excellent question

I mean, I’m instinctively tempted to favour the dragon bc firebreathing and scales. but then, cats have nasty tempers and one hell of an attitude so really it’s anyone’s guess.

i think i might actually have to go with the dragon, not for any of the obvious reasons but because on average ducks are bigger than house cats.

Name: Abrictosaurus consors

Name Meaning: Wakeful Reptile 

First Described: 1975

Described By: Hopson

Classification: Dinosauria, Ornithischia, Heterodontosauridae, Heterodontosaurinae 

Abrictosaurus is a heterodontosaur known from the Upper Elliot Formation of Qacha’s Nek District in Lesotho and Cape Province, South Africa. It dates back to the Hettangian age of the Early Jurassic, around 199 million years ago. Like with other heterodontosaurs, it has canine-like teeth, clearly present on one of the two known specimens. It had small forelimbs compared to Heterodontosaurus and is known from two partial skeletons. One of the two may have been a juvenile, rather than a female, indicating that the canine teeth in heterodontosaurs was a secondary sexual characteristic, rather than a trait of sexual dimorphism.

5. what inspires you to write?

other writers and their work. my own anthropological curiosity about cultures and individuals and their making and how the two are forever entwined. my belief in gods and spirits and the importance of creation and writing specifically as an act of magic and devotion. certain motifs - forests, mountains, the ocean, therianthropes, god-animals, spirit-possession - that recur cross-culturally and throughout my interests.
