EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork captures a rare and intimate moment in the ancient world. The print showcases a pair of Pelecanimimus dinosaurs engaged in the act of mating, providing us with a glimpse into their reproductive behavior. These magnificent creatures, known as ornithomimosaurs, roamed the Earth approximately 120 million years ago during the Cretaceous period. The male and female Pelecanimimus are beautifully depicted side by side, showcasing their distinct physical features. Measuring around 2 meters from head to tail, these bipedal dinosaurs possessed an ostrich-like appearance and were adorned with feathers. Fossil bones discovered in Spain have allowed scientists to reconstruct their anatomy and understand more about this fascinating species. This illustration not only highlights the biological aspect of reproduction but also offers insight into animal behavior during prehistoric times. It serves as a reminder that even millions of years ago, life on Earth was driven by the same fundamental instincts we see today. With its historical significance and scientific value, this image is a testament to our ongoing exploration of our planet's past. Through paleontological research and artistic interpretation like this stunning piece from Science Photo Library, we continue to unravel the mysteries surrounding these remarkable creatures that once inhabited our world.
