I hope I didn't take it too far

the pouch serves as an inflatable display structure like a frigate bird, and when under water to suction in small animals that might otherwise be too fast to catch like a monkfish does

the bony crest on top of spinosaurus head serves as an anchoring point for a large, keratin casque, after prey has been pulled onto land, spinosaurus presses the top of its head against it to hold it down while the claws dismember it

the tight contour hugging thick feather coat is not water proof, but instead absorbs water (like some diving birds today) in order to help such a bulky animal maintain neutral buoyancy

the jaws are lined with thick armor like scales, a stray fin ray or sharp dislodged scale could be very painful

the "whiskers" on the tip of the snout function much like barbels on fish

how do you guys like it?

Re: Stars fan art

For some reason I thought you were talking about Japan with "JP".
Also, I don't really remember much about the movies, but what do mosquitoes and grasshoppers have to do with the movie?
 
Re: Stars fan art

mosquitoes in amber was how they obtained the dinosaur DNA

the mantis is from another film entirely, mysterious island, specifically this version :P
