Today is #WorldCougarDay! The largest extant feline, it ranges from Canada down to Patagonia, inhabiting a wide range of biomes. However, this generalist nature leads to conservation issues, being poorly studied in much of South America, and extirpated from Eastern North America.

I agree with a few of the comments here, that Edmontosaurus isn't as popular because its viewed as "boring" compared to crested hadrosaurs. Though ironically, Edmontosaurus has more bizarre integument compared to crested hadrosaurs. A brief 🧵

Genuinely shocked edmontosaurus is not more popular. Especially considering we have SEVERAL famous mummies. Yet stickers, keychains etc etc are hard to come by compared to other Hadrosaurs and dinos known with fossil skin.

Allosaurus jimmadseni es uno de mis dinosaurios favoritos. Recuerdo ver el especial de Caminando con Dinosaurios, dedicado al espécimen MOR693, llamado Big Al y fascinarme con la vida tan dura de los Allosaurus.

This is a cool paper, but would it have been so hard to ask permission, or at least write "modified after Hartman" when they traced my Monolophosaurus skeletal?
