Now on ScienceBlogs: "Investigative science journalism" and books I like to read [All of My Faults Are Stress Related]
"It is - still - the best zoological blog out there, period"
With six years of phd work on theropod dinosaurs behind him, Darren Naish mostly spends long hours in the library, hunched over his laptop. But he gets out sometimes, and picks up litter and pursues exotic lizards across the British countryside, aiming all the while to publish his technical work on obscure Cretaceous dinosaurs. He also messes around with pterosaurs, swimming giraffes, British big cats and stuff like that. He has given up on the stupid idea of being a dedicated academic and ekes out a living as a technical consultant, editor and author. He can be contacted intermittently at eotyrannus (at) gmail dot com. For more biographical info go here.

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).

WATCH This Space
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.
