Island Weirdness #08 – Balaur bondoc

When Balaur was described in 2010 it was initially thought to be a dromaesaurid closely related to Asian forms like Velociraptor. With its particularly stocky legs built for strength rather than speed, two-fingered hands, and two large sickle claws on each foot, it was interpreted as a weird highly specialized predator terrorizing the other Hațeg Island species at the end of the Cretaceous. Although only 1.8m long (5'10"), it was hypothesized to have taken down prey much larger than itself with powerful slashing kicks.

But later analyses cast doubt on this interpretation.

A lot of the anatomical features of Balaur’s skeleton were odd for a dromaeosaurid, but matched those of avialans – a group of close evolutionary “cousins” to the dromaeosaurids, containing Archaeopteryx and the common ancestors of all modern birds. And, by 2015, multiple studies had confirmed Balaur wasn’t really a “raptor” but instead a little further along on the bird lineage.

So now our picture of this dinosaur is very different: a chunky-bodied island bird, grown large and secondarily flightless sort of like a Cretaceous equivalent to the dodo. Its double sickle claws were probably adaptations for climbing and perching in trees, and based on similar avialans it was likely a herbivore rather than a hypercarnivore.

Cenozoic mega-fauna celebrate the holidays in these vintage Victorian era English greeting cards produced circa 1880 by De La Rue & Co; a British paper-making company started in 1821 by entrepreneur Thomas de la Rue (1793–1866) and today headquartered in Basingstoke, Hampshire, England. De La Rue began printing Christmas cards around 1872 only to ceased publication in 1885. Despite only being in the game for 13-years, De La Rue occupies an important place in the history of the industry. Their cards are noted for their highly detailed art (which is all anonymous) as well as, by today’s standards, often offbeat subject matter. John Grossman’s 2008 book Christmas Curiosities: Odd, Dark, and Forgotten Christmas contains numerous reprints of De La Rue cards featuring witches, goblins, ghosts, imps and some rather feral looking fairies. As I discussed with John W. Morehead back in 2016 for his blog Theofantasique part of the reason for this was that Christmas was a much darker holiday then it is today, more closely associated with the sinister side of the supernatural. But other De La Rue cards can’t so easily be chalked up as a result of the prevailing seasonal zeitgeist. Grossman’s book records examples of Christmas Cards containing such strange and forgotten characters as “King Winter,” “The King of the Holly” and “Joey the Clown” as well as such surreal sights as anthropomorphic Christmas dinners and one in which a living Christmas tree-man appears to be making-out with a Frosty-type snowman. The above postcards featuring ice-skating prehistoric hippos, pachyderms and wholly rhinos as well as one of a mammoth and a dinotherium getting their portrait made are no less strange, but in a decidedly different way. These cards seem to have been made as a way of cashing in on the Victorian preoccupation with the prehistoric. It’s unknown how popular these particular cards were but they are certainly striking to look at today. Happy Holidays.

Final for Shringasaurus indicus. 247.2 million years ago, during the Middle Triassic Period, Shringasaurus roamed the what would become Madhya Pradesh, India. At the time the world was very different, many of the animal groups that exist today were still forming and that resulted in some truly weird adaptations, including animals with similar traits and appearances to animals that exist today that are not closely related at all.

Shringasaurus (it’s name coming from the sanskrit word “śṛṅga” for “horn” and greek for “lizard”) was a member of a group called Allokotosaurs, a group of reptiles that were related but not part of the cladistic grouping of Archosaurs, the group that includes crocodiles, dinosaurs, pterosaurs, and modern birds. It has also been called a stem-archosaur as it appears to be part of an earlier lineage that split before the evolution of true archosaurs.

It was about 9.8 to 13.1 feet in length and was distinguished by it’s long neck and superaorbital brow horns (similar to those of some ceratopsian dinosaurs. It’s teeth indicate that it was an herbivore, possibly using it’s long neck to reach higher foliage than other competing animals.

Shringasaurus indicus is the type species for it’s genus and is still being studied as of it’s very recent discovery in 2017. Who knows what it will tell us about this unique era in Earth’s history?
