Jianchangornis is a Euronithine known from a subadult, complete skeleton, found in the Jiufotang Formation of Liaoning, China, living about 120 million years ago in the Aptian age of the Early Cretaceous. It was a large Euornithine, with a wingspan of 60 centimeters and a body length of 34 centimeters without the tail. it had a triangular head with small conical teeth, indicating that it ate small fish and foraged for these fish in a lake environment. It had normal length legs, though, so it probably wasn’t a wader; rather, it probably was a surface swimmer or beachcomber, going along the lake edge and searching for washed up fish. It had beaked jaw tips, like many other Euornithines, and it had very long feathers on its wings which would have given them a broad surface area.

Shout out goes to @quintonimor!
what do you have against socialism?
Socialism =/= Communism
Hammer and sickle are symbols of a regime that killed at least 65 million people.
Estonia lost 17% of it’s population to communist tyranny that is Soviet Union.
Check your privilege neo-colonialist westerner, before you tell the victims of communism to shut up :)
i am dita von teese publicist and she will never date you
Chilling your axolotl aquarium by blowing a fan on it is a bad idea, right?
It’s not consistent and it barely works. I tired it all before breaking down and buying a real chiller. It’s worth it for sure
You will take this kind of attack. You'll take it like you don't eat mushrooms. I'll take that you're a tasteless wimp.
Look here, pal. You’re not making me any more willing to eat mushrooms by doing this. If anything, I hate them more now because of this. And this goes for the rest of you out there, you all know who you are.
You are a degenerate and a fool and you know nothing of what has been fought for in the name of fungi
Two things.
First off, mushrooms are nasty and not meant to be put on pizza.
Secondly, who are you?? I’ve never seen you before??
Scarlet. I need to read a good book right now.
Scarlet: Favorite book books
(I’m gonna answer with my top three books that aren’t the basis of fandoms that I blog about because I obviously love those): The Hob’s Bargain by Patricia Briggs, Graceling by Kristin Cashore, and Moloka’i by Alan Brennert
Ask me one of these?
