Today's new drawing is of an early and small horse

named Mesohippus being hunted by a Terror Bird.

Terror Bird hunting Mesohippus

Mesohippus was an early horse.  It was the size of a medium-sized dog.  Here it is being hunted by a Terror bird.  Terror birds lived after the dinosaurs.  There were several species of terror birds.  Some were about a meter high and some were more like 3 meters high. 

There were some giant birds that were fruit eaters.  But others were clearly carnivores.  One of the amazing scenes of the series Walking With Prehistoric Beasts shows a terror bird hunting drunk early horses.  The small horses had eaten fermented grapes.  I used to call it "My Little Drunk Pony."
