Now on ScienceBlogs: A study that oversells massage therapy
Amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals - living and extinct
Darren Naish is a science writer, technical editor and palaeozoologist (affiliated with the University of Portsmouth, UK) who mostly works on Cretaceous dinosaurs and pterosaurs. He also studies such things as the swimming abilities of giraffes and fossil marine reptiles. An avid interest in modern wildlife and conservation has resulted in many adventures in lizard-chasing, bird-watching and litter-collecting. I've been blogging since 2006 and a compilation of early Tet Zoo articles is now available in book form as Tetrapod Zoology Book One. Additional recent books include The Great Dinosaur Discoveries and Dinosaurs Life Size. For more biographical info go here. I can be contacted intermittently at eotyrannus (at) gmail dot com. PLEASE NOTE: I am now completely unable to keep up with email correspondence. I do my best to respond to all queries and requests, but please don't be offended if I fail to reply. I blog from and about conferences - please contact me for more info. Follow me on twitter: @TetZoo.

Sorry, another one of those really annoying teasers. But, come on, you love it really. Coming later this week...
... at long long last, those lost tree frogs...
... proto-narwhals and the case of the beluwhals...
... the amazing social life of the Green iguana...
... and maybe something on feathered theropods. Plus vampire pterosaurs, Piltdown, plethodontids and more. Oh yeah, and, err, rhinogradentians :) Check back soon, there will probably be something new (he says).

Non-comments about the non-articles to follow (soon, unless, of course, life intervenes)...
Since Darren has long supplied in-depth information and analysis otherwise unavailable to science grazers like myself and, of course to others, I feel it is important that we try to support him by (where necessary) supplying non-comments to his non-articles. LET the non-ness begin...

So true. So in this non-comment, I won't tweak Darren about snouters nor will I complain about being teased. I also won't say that any teaser that features a picture of an interesting frog (and aren't they all?) is OK by me.

... and what about astrapotheres and uintatheres?

While I enjoyed the vampire bat series hugely, I'm still eagerly awaiting the rhinograde entry!

Hallo Darren!
I just sculpted a scabby little hypothetical protonarwhale from a piece of sculpey. I sent you some pictures, perhaps they will inspire your post about monodon-evolution.
