Obligatory Readings of the Day - Tetrapod Zoology

Do you read Darren Naish's blog Tetrapod Zoology? If not, you should start now. Just check out some of the most recent posts, for example this two-parter on sea snakes: 'A miniature plesiosaur without flippers': surreal morphologies and surprising behaviours in sea snakes and Sea kraits: radical intraspecific diversity, reproductive isolation, and site fidelity.

Or, this two-part post about the importance of the shape of the birds' bills: The war on parasites: a pigeon's eye view and The war on parasites: an oviraptorosaur's eye view.

Or an amazing four-part story about Angloposeidon, a dinosaur from the Isle Of Wight: 'Angloposeidon', the unreported story, part I, 'Angloposeidon', the unreported story, part II, 'Angloposeidon', the unreported story, part III and 'Angloposeidon', the unreported story, part IV.

Enjoy and have a good weekend!
