EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork from Science Photo Library takes us back in time to the late Cretaceous period, approximately 70 million years ago. The stunning print showcases a scene of both awe and intrigue as pterosaurs soar gracefully over the lifeless body of a Triceratops dinosaur. Triceratops, known for its herbivorous diet, was once a common sight in this ancient valley. However, fate has befallen one unfortunate individual whose remains now lie motionless on the ground. This striking image allows us to contemplate the cycle of life and death that has persisted throughout Earth's history. The presence of circling pterosaurs adds another layer of fascination to this composition. These flying reptiles, closely related to dinosaurs, may have been scavengers themselves - drawn by the scent of decay emanating from the rotting corpse below. It is an intriguing possibility that they too sought sustenance from this fallen giant. Through meticulous illustration and attention to detail, Science Photo Library brings together elements of nature, biology, paleontology, and artistry into one captivating visual experience. This print serves as a reminder not only of our planet's rich prehistoric past but also highlights the interconnectedness between different species within ecosystems.
