So you all have seen this
. And many of you have had your hands at reconstructing Deinocheirus
, first based on the vague information from the Lee et al. abstract, and now from the photos of the skull. I didn't, and I still like to do that not before a detailed description has been published. So mark my words, I might forget it in the following years:
When I woke up today, these things happened: a good friend of mine sent me a link to a documentary, in which a gay TV journalist met doctors who considered homosexuality a disease, something curable - something one might expect to be less prevalent in central Europe than elsewhere. Yikes. After that, 15 DML mails, including the above-mentioned article. So while Jaime Headden and Julio Lacerda, and I bet others, had their go at the "homosexuality is unnatural" fallacy in their dinosaur artwork, I think I might still honor the day of the Deinocheirus
photos with a male-male couple of Deinocheirus
next to a group of young juveniles, perhaps defending them ferociously against a predator. Remind me of this when there is something published that allows me to reconstruct these awesome giants. I'm late to the party, but some more gay theropods can't be a bad thing.
In the meantime, why not draw some female-female pairings. Or some that don't adhere to the "typical" behavior or their biological sex.
