       For this week's #TanystropheusTuesday, here's #paleoart of this species getting angry or amorous with one another (it's hard to say which), from 2015. It accompanied a couple of blog posts I wrote about the lifestyle of this animal that I always wanted to turn into papers, but time has never been on my side. Pt 1. http://markwitton-com.blogspot.com/2015/11/the-lifestyle-of-tanystropheus-part-1.htmlPt 2. http://markwitton-com.blogspot.com/2015/12/the-lifestyle-of-tanystropheus-part-2.html

       @john #TanystropheusTuesday is clearly the best. I hope it takes off.

       @john They're all votes from fake $8 parody accounts.

       @john @markwitton I would have thought niche partitioning between pterosaurs and tanystropheids would be more likely than competition.

       @markwitton A couple of very interesting articles there! While most of the discussion was on the lifestyle of the beast and it's own hunting methods I'm interesting in how a creature that shape existed vis-a-vis it's own predators. Were there simply no large carnivores at the time (or place) as otherwise they would seem 'easy meat' for anything that could get a neck bite in and they don't look like they could run all that quickly. A heron-like lifestyle is great if you can fly away!
