A few Coloring Pages that are Colored

 This is a post of some of my drawings or coloring pages that was emailed to me from the University of Utah Hospital staff. The brilliant & kind caregivers there performed surgery and took care of me as I recovered. I was not the most obedient of patients. (I didn’t always wait for a nurse or CNA when I got out of bed. One CNA or nurse caught me as I was about to collapse from dizziness. I owe her a lot!  Anyway, I gave them all my card and they colored some of my coloring pages. I drew a few of them too. I have a couple of more drawings of them to complete. 

Photo coming soon 

Cretaceous Animals including Dinosaurs of Saudi Arabia

Today's coloring page I drew for you is of 

Cretaceous Animals of Saudi Arabia. 

I guess I should say 

Cretaceous Animals in what is now Saudi Arabia.

Cretaceous Animals, including Dinosaurs of Saudi Arabia

About 12 years ago 2 distinct types of dinosaurs were discovered in Saudi Arabia. This was fragmentary evidence but clearly showed that one animal was a Titanosaur. Another was an Abelisaur. 

A Titanosaur is a type of long-necked Sauropod. Titanosaurs were the biggest animals to ever walk on Earth. Yet some Titanosaurs weighed only 2000 lbs or around 900 kg. These were the small ones living on islands. Other Titanosaurs were the true titans... hence the name Titanosaur. This includes huge animals like Patagotitan that was 122 feet or 37 meters long. It weighed possibly as much as 77 tons. We don't know the actual size of this Titanosaur from Saudi Arabia. There were Titanosaurs from small to large and everywhere in between. 

Abelisaurs were Theropod carnivores with short snouts. One species had short horns on its head. Abelisaurids were originally found in South America, so finding evidence of them living in what is now Saudi Arabia is a big discovery. 

The pterosaur, or flying reptile, is not a flying dinosaur. It is named Inabtanin alarabia. It was a Pterosaur found in what is now Jordan, on the Saudi Arabian border. It was not a tiny Pterosaur. It had a wingspan of almost 18 feet, or over 5 meters wide. It also lived in the Late Cretaceous, so it WAS a contemporary of these dinosaurs. 

The small mammal is indicative of the type of mammals that lived among the dinosaurs. Currently, there is no direct evidence of Cretaceous mammals in what is now Saudi Arabia. However, there is fossil evidence of mammals there AFTER the dinosaurs, so the mammals probably DID live among the dinosaurs. 

NOTE: This coloring page is found in printable form by clicking on the button labeled "Paleontology" and scrolling down to the bottom of the Mesozoic part of the list.  Have fun coloring these animals from the Cretaceous Arabian Peninsula. By the way, I am also posting this in Arabic. Again, click on the button labeled "Paleontology."

Sierra the Mountain Lake Mermaid

Today's new drawing on this, my free coloring pages blog is

a type of Mermaid that is not well known, 

a Mountain Lake Mermaid.

 Sierra the Mountain Lake Mermaid

It is not generally known, but there are some Merpeople communities in lakes. This is Sierra, who is a Mountain Lake Mermaid. She and her people live high in the Sierra Nevada Mountains in a freshwater lake. This shows her with some of the local wildlife, including a Brook Trout, a Rainbow Trout, a pair of Mallard Ducks, and a Snow Goose. 

I want to talk about each species. I grew up on a farm in southwest Utah, west of Delta, Utah. We would wake up in the migration season to see the fields around our house white with snow geese. It is an amazing sight. Every year they have a Snow Geese Festival. 

Brook trout are my favorite freshwater fish. They have a brilliant splash of red-orange on their underside. The meat from them is pink like salmon, and it is truly delicious!

Mallard Ducks are one of the most successful species of duck. The drakes have a distinctive green or kinda blue-green head. The hens have a pretty brown, speckled, and striped pattern on their feathers. 

Rainbow Trout have a pretty rainbow pattern on their sides. Rainbow trout are native to the Sierra Nevada Mountains where Sierra lives. Brook Trout were introduced there by mortals. Brook Trout originated on the opposite coast of North America... the East Coast area. But I mean the freshwater of those areas. Both species seen here are delicious and environmentally conscious Merpeople harvest these fish in a sustainable way. 

In this coloring page, Sierra is slowly swimming upward and partially emerging from the water to look around. This is called a "spy hop." It helps her see if any mortals are near or if any are in distress and need her assistance. 

Lake Merpeople, like Ocean Merpeople, can magically transform into mortal form. Lake Mermaids in particular are known to help prevent mortals from drowning and help them when they get lost in the woods. Mermaids and Mermen are very beautiful sentient beings. MOST are good and kind as well. Of course, kindness is the most beauty-enhancing of any quality.

Blue-Footed Boobies Courtship Dance

 If you are a frequent visitor to this coloring page site, then you know

that I have drawn Blue-Footed Boobies before. 

But I did it again.

Blue-Footed Boobies Courtship Dance

Blue-Footed Boobies are known for their striking blue feet AND blue bills. Blue-Footed Boobies have a great courtship ritual. The male starts by lifting his blue feet and dancing for the female. He displays his wings and does deep bows. Then, if she likes what she sees, she joins in on the dance. This dance for a mate establishes strong bonds between the two sexes. Blue-Footed Boobies are generally faithful to their mates. They mate for life and get together each mating season at the same nesting site each year. 

They are also known as amazing dive bombers. We watched them in the Galapagos Islands. They hover in the air or patrol around in circular patterns. Then, when they spot a target fish, they dive down at a steep angle. We saw just a pair doing this, but sometimes whole flocks do the dive bombing fishing. 

There are other species of Boobies, including Red-Footed Boobies and Nasca Boobies. All Boobies are mouth breathers. Their nostrils are used to excrete excess salt from the seawater they previously drank.

棘龙浩龙 Haolong the Spiny Dragon

 这是我的免费着色页博客。

今天我为你画的新着色页是

有像豪猪一样羽毛的鬣蜥,

棘龙浩龙

Haolong the Spiny Dragon

NOTE: I posted this in English previously, so just scroll down for the English version.

最近在中国发现了一个新的恐龙. 它有多刺的羽毛笔-很像豪猪的羽毛笔。 这是一种鬣蜥，它是一个少年。 它只有8英尺或2.45米长。 成熟的成年人肯定要大得多。 它有一个名字，意思是"多刺龙。"那就是"浩龙"的属名。"这个物种的名字是为了纪念一位伟大的中国古生物学家，名叫董志明。 浩龙是食草动物。 这是第一个发现有多刺羽毛笔的恐龙。 其他恐龙有尖刺或角，但没有羽毛笔。 鬣蜥是最着名的恐龙属之一。 在此之前，没有人知道有多刺的羽毛笔。 有一些猜测，也许浩龙在少年时期就有羽毛笔。 但大人们失去了羽毛笔。 羽毛笔很可能是为了保护捕食者。 注意：此着色页以可打印的形式找到，通过点击标记为"古生物学"的按钮。"然后向下滚动到"中生代生命"部分的底部。 如果您在2026年7月或8月访问此页面，那么此绘图将位于中生代生命列表的底部。 点击上面写着的按钮 "Paleontology."

Haolong dongi the Spiny Dragon Iguanodon coloring page

This is my free coloring pages blog.

Today's new coloring page I drew for you is 

an Iguanodon that had quills like a porcupine,

NOTE: I will also be posting this in Chinese.

 Haolong dongi the Spiny Dragon

A new dinosaur discovery in China was fairly recently discovered. It had spiny quills - much like a porcupine's quills. This was a type of Iguanodon, and it was a juvenile. It was only 8 feet or 2.45 meters long.  Mature adults were certainly much larger. It has a name that means "Spiny Dragon." That is the Genus name of "Haolong." The species name honors a great Chinese paleontologist named Dong Zhiming. 

Haolong was an herbivore. This is the first dinosaur found with spiny quills. Other dinosaurs had spikes or horns, but not quills. Iguanodons are one of the most well-known Genus of dinosaurs. Before now, none were known to have had spiny quills. There is some conjecture that maybe Haolong had quills just as a juvenile. But the adults lost the quills. The quills were most likely there for protection from predators.

Jesus presents a Lamb coloring page

Today on this, my free coloring pages site or blog,

I am posting a drawing or coloring page I did last Sunday during Church.

Drawing in Church helps me stay awake and helps me to focus.

It is an ADHD adaptation or skill that has served me well.

I did not go to Church today because my surgery recovery is going rather rough, 

so if you are a praying person of faith, please include me in your prayers.

Include my wife as well. She has her own complex health challenges that are worsening.

I am Robin Andrew Lyman. She is Laurel Anne Lyman.

She helps critique the drawings that I do for this site. 

Jesus presents a Lamb

 In the Law of Moses, the Israelites learned to sacrifice a lamb to represent the future sacrifice of the Messiah or "Lamb of God." The Savior or Messiah was, in fact, Jesus Christ. HE truly was the sinless "Lamb of God" who came to Earth to suffer and die for our sins. Then He was resurrected to open the door for US to also be resurrected one day. Resurrection means we will receive our bodies back in glorified, immortal form. The Atonement is all about how Jesus suffered and paid the eternal price for our sins. This meant that we could repent of our sins. Thus Jesus opened the door to our salvation and exaltation.

Salvation refers to us being resurrected. Exaltation refers to us being able to live with our Heavenly Parents, our spouse, and our family in glory for eternity.  To learn more about this, you can contact the missionaries from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I will add that many Christian churches teach much of this beautiful doctrine and that faith in Jesus Christ can give you great peace.    I also feel that our church has the most complete truth about Jesus Christ.

This coloring page depicts Jesus presenting a lamb. This is before His atoning sacrifice. Jesus and the lamb are up in the wilderness, so in some ways this is a very symbolic drawing. Jesus is teaching us that in the wilderness of sin, HE is the Lamb of God who will be slain for the sins of the world to make the repentance of our sins possible... and He will be resurrected to break the bonds of death for all of us. He is smiling because this is a very joyful message for all of us!

NOTE: This coloring page, in printable form, is found by clicking on the button labeled "Religious." Then scroll down to the bottom of the "General Religious" section. It is the first part of the list. I will also put it at the end of the "New Testament" part of the list. IF you are accessing this page in July or August 2025, this drawing or coloring page I did for you will be at or near the bottom of the list of religious drawings. I pray you will find YOUR connection of faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
