Malawania anachronus an Ichthyosaur from Iraq

Malawania anachronus was an Ichthyosaur that was found in Iraq. OK, its fossilized skeleton was found in Iraq. It was from the early Cretaceous Period. Yet it was less derived than other contemporary Ichthyosaurs. Ichthyosaurs first appeared in the Triassic, and they evolved to be huge. Later Jurassic Ichthyosaurs were smaller but still very successful predators of the period. In the early part of the Late Cretaceous Period, Ichthyosaurs finally went extinct. That was around 94 million years ago. Malawania lived around 130-125 million years ago. So, Malawania had features more like the Triassic Ichthyosaurs. 

So this shows that there were some lineages of Ichthyosaurs that lived in the seas from 250 million years ago to 125 million years ago. If you do the simple math, you see that this lineage of Ichthyosaurs lived in the sea for around 125 million years. That is astounding! 

Malawania was around 3 meters or 10 feet long. So it was not as large as the giant 70-foot-long Ichthyosaurs of the Triassic Period. However, it had some of the traits of those more ancient Ichthyosaurs. Notice the large eyes. Malawania was a type of Opthalmasaurus. These were Ichthyosaurs that could see well in the dark. Their large eyes were able to gather a tremendous amount of light when they dived deep for prey such as Ammonites. In fact, the Malawania in the coloring page is after an Ammonite. 

Off in the more blurry distance is a Pliosaur after a Plesiosaur. There were bony fish and also sharks, squid, and crabs in the early Cretaceous Period - and they can also be seen. The flowery-looking animals are not plants. They are called Sea Lilies or Crinoids.

Noble the Ranger marries Laney the Elven Healer

Today's newest coloring page celebrates the wedding of 

Noble, a Ranger, and Laney, an Elven Healer.

Noble the Ranger marries Laney the Elven Healer

Elven Healers are gifted with both excellent medical skills and the good or white magic of the Elves. They are also very kind as well as brilliant. Of course, like all Elves, Laney is a beautiful person who knows that her beauty is also tied up in being a very kind and good person. Laney will sometimes go to help in battle as a healer. However, her skills at fighting would put most mortals to shame. 

Rangers roam the wild and do good. They are not robbers; they are more like law-keepers who fight against the evil in the world. Noble is also part Elf back many generations in his ancestry, so he will live well beyond the lifespan of a purely mortal man. Noble is a handsome man, and he is also handsome on the inside because he travels around doing good. Noble also has some healing skills. Of course, his fighting skills are legendary. He met Laney when they were working together after a battle of Men and Elves vs. the Goblins and Orcs.

Th

Tribute to Deadliest Catch - Alaskan King Crab coloring page

 

Today on my free coloring pages blog, I am posting a drawing

or a coloring page of an Alaskan King Crab.

This is my tribute to what is one of my favorite shows...

Deadliest Catch!

Alaskan King Crab on the Beach

The show Deadliest Catch is about fishermen and fisherwomen fishing for crab in the Bering Sea up near Alaska. I find it an amazing show. They are on a rolling deck dropping and retrieving crap pots that weigh hundreds of pounds. The "pots" are actually cages. Crabs detect the bait and crawl into the cages, and can't get out. 

The crew has to retrieve the pot from hundreds of feet below what is often a rough sea. Finding where the crabs are is not always easy. In fact, it is very hard. The fishermen fish for several different species of crab, but not at the same time. Meaning that there is a King Crab season and an Ophilio Crab season, etc. 

The personal relationships and the personalities are what really drive the show. I find them fascinating and entertaining as well. Season 22 started a few weeks ago, and episode 3 is on this Friday, May 22, 2026. 

In this drawing, the crab is walking on a beach. Cold-climate plants and some other marine animals are also seen on the sand. See if you can spot them: A clam, a piece of driftwood, a large pinecone, a branch off of a pine tree, a serrated leaf, a starfish, and a piece of kelp that washed ashore.

There are over 100 species of starfish in the Bering Sea. The beaches of Alaska frequently have kelp washed ashore. Know that kelp is not a plant, it is plant-like... but it is in Kingdom: Protista. Shore pines live near the shore, but I have to admit that their pinecones are way smaller than the pinecone in my drawing.

This coloring page I drew will be there at or near the bottom of the list IF you are accessing this blog during May or June 2026. If you are accessing this site later, then the drawing's title will still be there, somewhat towards the bottom of the list of animal coloring pages. 

A New Simple Portrait of Jesus coloring page

This is my free coloring pages blog.

Today I am posting a simple portrait of Jesus Christ.

I draw religious pictures - mostly Jesus - when we are at Church.

Drawing helps my ADHD mind pay attention better, and I don't fall asleep. 

A New Simple Portrait of Jesus

Jesus is our older Spirit Brother. Before we came to Earth, we lived with Him and our Heavenly Parents in a pre-Earth life. This is sometimes called the "Preexistence." In this preexistence, we had billions of Spirit brothers and sisters. This time included us progressing and getting ready to come to Earth and receive physical bodies. There was also a war in Heaven. Lucifer or Satan fought against Jesus and our Heavenly Father. Satan lost, and he and 1/3 of the hosts of Heaven were cast down to Earth. They have not passed through the veil WE passed through at birth. 

In the premortal life, Jesus volunteered to be our Savior. He agreed to come to Earth as the Son of God and pay the eternal price for our sins. This is called the Atonement of Jesus Christ. The Atonement makes it possible for us to repent. Without Jesus, we could not repent, and we could never return to live with our Heavenly Parents. So as they say, "Jesus is the answer."

In His time on Earth, Jesus taught us to be kind to one another and to believe in Him. He also taught about repentance and forgiveness. He suffered for our sins and died for us. Then He was resurrected three days later. Because He was resurrected, we all too will be resurrected one day - with immortal bodies. Then we will be able to also live with our spouse and family throughout the eternities as well. Of course, we all have to have faith in Christ, repent of our sins, and strive to do better. 

NOTE: This coloring page is found in printable form by clicking on the button labeled "Religious." Then scroll down to the bottom of the General Religious section. I will also post this in the New Testament section. New posts are at the bottom of the correct list. I will also post this in the "People and Portraits" section. 

Corgis and Fairies coloring pages

 

This is my free coloring pages blog.

Today, there are two drawings.

One is of a Corgi being ridden by a Fairy.

The second is a cartoon drawing of a Corgi in a front yard.

Fairy Warrior riding a Corgi

There are legends and tales from Wales of Corgis being the steeds of Fairies. There were also stories of Fairies riding Corgis into battle. The word "Corgi" means "Dwarf Dog" in Welsh. This drawing of the Corgi is based on a real Corgi that lives in our home. 

The next drawing is a kind of cartoony coloring page of a Corgi puppy. 

Corgi Puppy named Poppy 

There are actually two main types of Corgis. One is the Pembroke Welsh Corgi. The other is an older breed, the Cardigan Welsh Corgi. We have a Corgi named Poppy in our home. She is actually a furrier, or fuzzier, or hairier type... namely the Cardigan Welsh Corgi. The Pembroke Welsh Corgis have shorter fur. So even though Poppy is a Cardigan Welsh Corgi, this second drawing has a cartoon-style drawing of a Pembroke Welsh Corgi. The top drawing is actually based on a photo of Poppy. I am actually kinda breaking the rules because Fairies are supposed to ride Pembroke Welsh Corgis, and I drew the Fairy Warrior riding a Cardigan Welsh Corgi. By the way, Fairies are supposed to have used Corgis to pull carts as well as riding the Pembroke Welsh Corgis into battle. 

NOTE: These drawings or coloring pages are found in printable form by clicking on the correct button. The coloring page of the Corgi and Fairy is found by clicking on the button labeled "Fantasy, Myths, and Circus. Scroll down to the bottom of the list to find this title. New drawings are put at the bottom of lists. The cartoony drawing of a corgi in the yard will be found by clicking on the "Animals" button. However, I will actually be posting both coloring pages in the "Animals" list. So, for simplicity, just click on the "Animals" button and scroll down to find both of these drawings.

Bicharracosaurus dionidei, a new Brachiosaur Sauropod from Argentina

*Bicharracosaurus dionidei*, un nuevo saurópodo braquiosáurido de Argentina

Lo más interesante de *Bicharracosaurus* es que, en realidad, se trata de un tipo de braquiosáurido. Anteriormente, los braquiosáuridos solo se conocían en Europa, África y América del Norte; no se había encontrado ninguno en América del Sur. Por lo tanto, este hallazgo sugiere una migración, ya que durante esa etapa del período Jurásico —hace unos 155 millones de años— el supercontinente de Pangea solo se había fragmentado parcialmente. Antes de este descubrimiento, los principales saurópodos conocidos en América del Sur eran los enormes titanosaurios, tales como *Patagotitan* y *Argentinosaurus*. Estos titanosaurios eran de un tamaño mucho mayor y vivieron en una época muy posterior a la de *Bicharracosaurus*.

El nombre "*Bicharracosaurus*" significa "lagarto animal grande". Medía 20 metros de longitud (unos 65 pies). Aunque pertenece al grupo de los braquiosáuridos, presenta algunas características que recuerdan a las de un *Diplodocus*. Se trataba de un saurópodo de cuello largo. El nombre específico "*dionidei*" rinde homenaje al pastor argentino que descubrió los primeros huesos fosilizados.

New Sauropod Dinosaur from Argentina coloring page

 The newest coloring page I am posting today is of a 

fairly large Sauropod from Argentina.

This is my free coloring pages blog with over 3100 coloring pages 

for you to print and color. 

I will also be posting this in Spanish.

Bicharracosaurus dionidei, a new Brachiosaur Sauropod from Argentina

What is so interesting about Bicharracosaurs is that it is actually a type of Brachiosaur.  Previously, Brachiosaurs were known only from Europe, Africa, and North America. None had been found in South America. So this indicates migration because during this time of the Jurassic Period of about 155 million years ago, the supercontinent of Pangea had only partly broken up. Before this discovery, the main Saurpods known from South America were the huge Titanosaurs like Patagotitan and Argentinosaurus. Those Titanosaurs were much larger and lived much later than Bicharrocosaurus. 

"Bicharracosaurus" means "large animal lizard." It was 20 meters long or 65 feet long. Although a Brachiosaur, it has some features that look like a Diplodocus. It was a long-necked Sauropod. The species name of "dionidei" honors the shepherd from Argentina who found the first fossilized bones.
