Subadult Alamosaurus and Triceratops

 This is my free coloring pages blog.

Today I am continuing with the theme from my last post.

This is a drawing of two subadult dinosaurs.

Subadult Alamosaurus and Triceratops

Yesterday I drew two young juvenile dinosaurs.  These are the same species, only in a more serious drawing.  They are not full-sized adults.  They are subadults. I guess they remained friends as they grew up.  This sometimes does happen with modern animals of different species. 

Alamosaurus has recently been upgraded.  That is, its size is now estimated to be between 90-100 feet long and weighing between 70 and 80 tons.  That is around the size of the biggest known dinosaurs, Argentinosaurus or Patagotitan.  Paleontologists looked inside the bones and discovered that the fossil showed that the Alamosaurus specimen was not fully grown.  

You can tell this is a subadult Triceratops because the horns point out at an angle.  Full-grown adult Triceratops were bigger, and their horns curved and pointed forward.  If these two were full-sized adults, then the Triceratops would be much smaller in proportion to the Alamosaurus.

Juvenile Triceratops and Alamosaurus

 Today's new drawing that I did is of a juvenile nature.

It is fairly simple cartoon drawing for young people (kids) to color and

it is a drawing of two juvenile dinosaurs.

Juvenile Triceratops and Alamosaurus

These are young or juvenile herbivorous dinosaurs.  They are also quadropeds. So they ate plants and walked on four feet.  For years, paleontologists thought that there were no Sauropods in North America during the late Cretaceous.  But the discovery of Amamosaurus changed that.  It was a large Sauropod that was close to 100 feet long or 30 meters long... as an adult.   Large males probably weighed around 88 tons or 80 tonnes (metric tonnes).   It had armored spines along its neck and back.  Alamosaurus was the only Titanosaur ever found in North America.  It is thought that it migrated up from South America.  By the way, Alamosaurus was 36 feet or 11 meters tall.  That is quite impressive. 

Triceratops is more well-known.  It was a 30-foot-long armored Ceratopsian or horned dinosaur.  It was the last and the biggest of the Ceratopsians.  Both these dinos lived in the late Cretaceous of North America.  This fun drawing shows two friends walking together.  The volcano in the background is actually scientifically accurate.  There was a rise in volcanic activity worldwide in the late Cretaceous.

You might have noticed the Pterosaurs in the background.  They are Pteranodons.  They had a wingspan of up to 25 feet wide... or 7.6 meters wide.  Males had a larger crest than the females.

Dueling Dragons

Sorry I have not posted in several days.  I got very upset about the things happening in my country. 

Yes, I live in the USA.  The targeting of hard working good people who are immigrants 

seems cruel and rather foolish since we rely on their labor to keep our economy going. 

I also have a problem with my computer so I have to borrow one to post.

Anyway, this is a drawing done by one of my grandnephews.  He is of elementary school age. 

I think he did a great job drawing these two "Dueling Dragons."

Dueling Dragons

As you can probably imagine, dragons don't always get along.  This drawing depicts a dragon duel.  Both dragons try to overwhelm their rival with hot fire.  This fire is from the methane gas that dragons store in their throat in a special organ called the pyroex,  The methane is made in the dragon's digestive system and a tubular organ called the methotubo takes the methane to the pyroex.  When a dragon wants to shoot fire it uses a few special teeth called incinderdons.  These teeth are high in iron so they spark when he dragon snaps its mouth closed.  This ignites the methane as it is projected out of the dragon's mouth.  

I should mention that some dragons make hydrogen gas out of water.  They have both a pyroex organ and a LOX organ.  They expel liquid oxygen along with the hydrogen when they want to shoot or breathe fire.  The liquid oxygen immediately goes into a gas stare and interacts with the hydrogen gas when the incinderdons spark. 

Have fun coloring this awesome drawing!

Marcelio the Jedi second fan art drawing

 

This is my free coloring pages blog. 

It has been a while since I posted on this blog. 

Sorry, but my computer got broken. I am now borrowing my wife's computer.

This drawing was misplaced a few months ago, so I drew Marcelio in another picture.

So this is the second drawing of Marcelio the Jedi. But technically it is the first drawn but second posted.

Marcelio the Jedi second picture

As explained above, this is the second drawing of Marcelio the Jedi. It is a fan art drawing.  I am a big Star Wars fan and I have been fascinated by the idea of Jedi Kignts since 1977.

Sea Dragon Fairy

 This is my free coloring pages blog. I have drawn over 3000 coloring pages that you can print & color.

Today's new drawing is of a type of Fairy that lives by the ocean.  

Marinia the Sea Dragon Fairy

Marinia is a Sea Fairy. Sea Fairies live near the ocean and have special adaptations for living near the water.  Like Merpeople, they can breathe underwater.  They have specialized lungs that can extract oxygen from air AND water.  But unlike Merpeople, Sea Fairies don't usually live IN the ocean.  But they DO live close by the ocean.  

Some Sea Fairies, like Marinia, are on very friendly terms with Sea Monsters.  These are also called Sea Dragons.  These Sea Monsters get a bad rap.  They are actually quite friendly with Merpeople and Sea Fairies.  Sea Monsters only attack mortal ships when they, the Sea Monsters, are threatened.  

Sea Monsters have their own kind of magic, and especially an ability to make mortals forget that they saw a Sea Monster. Of course, Sea Monsters don't always use this amnesia-causing ability, which is why there are old legends of Sea Monsters.  They were seen much more often in the age of sail and whaling because the Sea Monsters were sometimes mistaken for whales and attacked by whalers. 

Marinia is a beautiful Sea Fairy, but since she is especially friendly with the Sea Monsters, she is also called a Sea Monster Fairy.  She can fly through the air with her wings and fly through the sea with her wings... like a penguin does.  She often takes care of a Sea Monster Mother's single egg when hatching is imminent.  That is what she is doing here.  She will help raise the young Sea Monster until it is big enough to swim the oceans with his or her mother.

Shri rapax - a newly discovered Raptor Dinosaur

 This is my free coloring pages blog.  

Today, the new drawing is of a fairly newly discovered raptor dinosaur.

It is called Shri rapax.

Shri rapax

Shri rapax was a small raptor dinosaur that lived concurrently with the better-known Velociraptor.  Shri rapax was only 2 meters or around 7 feet long. It lived in what is now Mongolia.  It was about the same size as Velociraptor, but Shri had longer arms and longer sickle-like claws on its hands.  It almost certainly was a feathered dinosaur.  It had many bone evidences that show it was closely related to modern birds. 

The Pterosaur is a member of the Azhdarchidae family of Pterosaurs.  It is possibly a Nipponopterus or, more likely, a Burkant.  Both had a wingspan of up to 11 feet 6 inches or 3.5 meters wide. But Burkant lived in what is now Mongolia.  With limited fossilized material, it is possible that these are actually the same species.  By the way, Nipponopterus was found in Japan. The fossil remains of both are quite similar.

Jesus will help you fight your dragons!

 This is my free coloring pages blog.

Today, the new drawing is symbolic.

It shows Jesus helping a man fight his dragons,

Jesus helps a Man fight his Dragons

Jesus will help us all fight our dragons.  This means He will take our burdens.  I read that to be that Jesus will help us overcome our trials.  This can be by Him removing the trial or by Him making us equal to the task of handling the trial.  This can include addictions, health challenges, relationship challenges, monetary challenges, etc.  So be willing to turn to Him. 

Understand that I, myself, have overcome some addiction and I face multiple health challengers due to a birth defect over 60 years ago.  Twenty years ago, I was told I would not survive a few days.  Here I am, with God's help.  It has not been easy, but it HAS been worth it. With Heavenly Father's help I hope to keep positive as much as I can and live at least several more years.  

There are two ways to handle trials if you are a believer.  One, get mad at God.  Two, turn TO God. You are going to have the trials either way.  So, in my opinion, you might as well get God's help dealing with the trials.  Heavenly Father loves you, as does your Heavenly Mother.  And our elder spirit brother, Jesus also understands our trials in a unique way.  When He suffered in Gethsemane and on the cross, He took upon Himself all the eternal punishment for our sins - if we repent.  But Jesus also felt every pain and anguish we all face in our mortal life.  So He can understand what we are going through.  

So TURN to our Savior, Jesus Christ.  He is your advocate with God the Father. They will send you the Comforter - AKA the Holy Ghost or Holy Spirit.  This can make all the difference.
