Wild Inaccuracies, Vol. 2

In this special edition of Wild Inaccuracies, Tammi offers up her scientific notes* and observations** about a series of extinct Cenozoic-era*** mammals that she just found out about.

Pterosaurs!

We made a fairly long one this week because there won’t be a full comic next Tuesday. This week is bonkers for both of us, schedule-wise, so stay tuned for something a little different next week!
