Europasaurus

Europasaurus was a request from “bonus ducks” - a Triassic tier member on Patreon!

Europasaurus is an example of insular dwarfism, the tendency for large-bodied species to become smaller over the course of their evolution, when isolated such as in small islands. Originally thought to be juvenile individuals upon initial discovery, adult Europasaurus specimens were found to be only about 6 m in length.

Europasaurus sketch

This is a pretty dubious brachiosaurid with a debate over what family it should be put in. Regardless I wanted to draw it anyway as it's smaller and that makes it feel special to me. I also drew a person in too, for scale, but also because I've got to keep practicing drawing people before I forget how. Another notable feature of this dinosaur is it's an example of insular dwarfism, which is responsible for its size as it's so much smaller than it's related family, likely on account of being isolated like dwarf elephants and pygmy hippos.
