Big Al the Allosaurus from the Museum of the Rockies

Today's newest coloring page I drew is of 

Big Al the Allosaurus from

the Museum of the Rockies.

 Big Al the Allosaurus from the Museum of the Rockies

We went to the Museum of the Rockies in Bozeman, Montana, a couple of weeks ago... on my birthday. I am a certified dinosaur nut, so this was a perfect activity for my 65th birthday. The around 1000 dinosaur coloring pages on this site are pretty good evidence for how much I love dinosaurs. 

Big Al was a sub-adult or very young adult Allosaurus. It died from probably a broken and infected toe. This obviously made it impossible for him to hunt prey. Big Al's fossilized skeleton was found in Wyoming, USA. He, or his fossilized skeleton, is found at the Museum of the Rockies in Bozeman, Montana. 

There is an excellent TV show about Big Al. It is called Walking With Dinosaurs Special: The Ballad of Big Al. I HIGHLY recommend this video. It includes a "making of the film" that explains how the science worked. 

Big Al was around 25 feet, or 8 meters long. He died young. He was 60-70% the size of a full adult Allosaurus. 19 of his bones showed signs of being infected or having once been broken. It lived a rough and short life. He may have weighed up to 1850 kg or about 4079 lbs. 

The Sauropod dinosaurs in the background are a Diplodocus and a young Brachiosaurus. Both are seen feeding on cycad trees. 

NOTE: This coloring page, in printable form, is found by clicking on the "Paleontology" button. Then scroll down to the bottom of the "Mesozoic Life" section. IF you are accessing this site in late September or October 2026, then this title will be at or near the bottom of that section of the list. Have fun coloring Big Al.  One other note: I based part of this drawing on the life-sized model or bust of Big Al's head that is at the Museum of the Rockies. The artists involved were Brian Engh, Larissa Fardelos, Youseff, and enhancements by Dane Johnson.  Below are two older drawings I did of Big Al. So, their printable pages will be found further up the Paleontology list of titles. I will admit that the drawing or coloring page that I posted today is more accurate because the model I based part of it on was scientifically accurate - based upon scans of Big Al's fossilized skull.

Bull Elk under a Pine Tree coloring page

 Today's newest coloring page I drew for you is of a 

Bull Elk... under a Pine Tree.

Bull Elk under a Pine Tree

A bull elk can weigh up to 1000 lbs. They are ungulates (hooved mammals) that, to me, are the most beautiful of all members of the deer family. The bulls have a magnificent set of antlers, and this large mammal can be up to 5 feet tall at the shoulders. IF you measure the entire animal's height, it can be up to 10 feet tall. In the winter, bull elk have a loud, haunting call that you hear during the rut. The rut is when the bull elk compete for female elk or cows. These are spectacular jousting matches!

IF you are accessing this page in late September or October of 2026, then this coloring page title will be at or near the bottom of the list of of animal coloring pages. I want to add that this beautiful animal was seen at Zootah, a small zoo in Logan, Utah.  We took our grandkids there this past weekend. 

Dragon Fairy with Dragon Egg

This is my free coloring pages blog or site.

Today's newest drawing will be posted soon. 

It is of a Dragon Fairy caring for a Dragon Egg.

Dragon Fairy with Dragon Egg

Dragon Fairies sometimes care for a dragon egg. The mother Dragon leaves the egg with the Dragon Fairy. Then the Dragon Fairy cares for the egg until hatching. The mother Dragon knows when hatching will occur, and she always arrives to see her offspring hatch. However, the Dragon Fairy often cares for the baby Dragon part of the time. Many Dragon Fairies are friends with several Dragons that they helped raise. 

Like most or all Fairies, Dragon Fairies can transform into various sizes. Here we see Hyadien the Dragon Fairy in what would be large - even for a mortal. She is transformed from her 6-inch size to a spectacular 7'5''. This is to allow her to safely interact with the Dragon and to care for the Dragon egg.

You may wonder about the shape of the egg. Some large Theropod dinosaurs had elongated eggs. So I thought that Dragons may have similar eggs. Also, notice that this Dragon Fairy has Dragon Wings and a faux dragon scale outfit. She uses her magic to replicate young Dragon scales and fuses them loosely together to form clothing. You might also note that the mother Dragon is sparking from her mouth. This is a sight that is only seen when a mother Dragon is showing affection. The hatchling is blowing fire. This is the first thing that a new hatchling does upon hatching. Dragons like nesting high on cliffs so that is why Hyadien is up on a ledge.

Sea Anemone Mermaid

Today's newest drawing on this free coloring page site is 

a Sea Anemone Mermaid.

Sea Anemone Mermaid

This is Actiniaria. She is one of the Sea Anemone Mermaids. She, of course, is obviously also very friendly with Clownfish. Clownfish and Sea Anemones are both animals that are in a symbiotic relationship. By the way, Actiniaria is named after the Order in the classification of the Sea Anemones. So Sea Anemones are in Order: Actiniaria.

Jesus as the City of Enoch Returns coloring page

Today's free coloring page drawing I did for you is of the City of Enoch.

It shows Jesus there as the City of Enoch returns. 

Jesus as the City of Enoch Returns

The City of Enoch was founded by the Prophet Enoch. It was before Noah's flood. Enoch was a great prophet, and he and his city were eventually taken up into heaven. It will return when Jesus returns to Earth to start the "Millennium," or a 1000 years of peace on Earth.   You can read about this in the Holy Bible, in the Book of Genesis. Even more details are found in The Pearl of Great Price. 

NOTE: This coloring page, in printable form, is found by clicking on the "Religious" button. Then scroll down to the bottom of the "Old Testament" section. I am also placing this in the "Restoration" section, since the book called The Pearl of Great Price. This book was revealed to the Prophet Joseph Smith. 

Kangaroo Rat and Lizard coloring page

 Today's new free coloring page is a cartoonish 

drawing of a Kangaroo Rat and a Lizard.

Kangaroo Rat and Lizard

This is a simple cartoonish drawing that is primarily of a Kangaroo Rat. There is also a tiny lizard. Kangaroo rats get all their water from the seeds that they eat. A kangaroo rat is around 8 - 14 inches long. That is 25 - 35 centimeters. The tail is often over half the body length.

Triceratops Mother & Calf near a Stratovolcano coloring page - inspired by the Museum of the Rockies

 This is my free coloring pages blog.

Today's new coloring page drawing I did for you is of 

a Triceratops mother and her calf near a big volcano.

Triceratops prosus Mother and Calf near a Stratovolcano

Triceratops prorsus was the species of Triceratops that was around when the meteorite took out the non-avian dinosaurs... at the end of the Cretaceous Period. It had a longer nose horn than Triceratops horridus. It was around 30 feet long. The young had a frill that went somewhat over the neck. It had small horns early on in life. 

This shape of fully-grown Triceratops is something I saw at the Museum of the Rockies in Bozeman, Montana, this week. The baby trike is also based on a juvenile Triceratops skull and full skeleton on display at that museum. I highly recommend that museum. It has amazing exhibits!!!

A stratovolcano is a big volcano that is tall and cone-shaped, and gets steeper near the top. It is made of different layers of hardened ash, lava, and tephra. Tephra is an extrusive igneous rock made up of any type of solid material blown out of the volcano. It can include ash, pea-sized particles, and up to large volcanic bombs. 

In the sky, in the distance, you see a couple of Pterosaurs or flying reptiles. They are Pteranodons. There are also a few birds in the air. Yes, there were birds in the Cretaceous Period.

By the way, there are many other Triceratops drawings in the Paleontology printables.
