EDITORS COMMENTS
In this computer artwork, we are transported back in time to witness a heart-stopping moment of parental protection. A Protoceratops dinosaur stands valiantly on the left side of the image, defending its vulnerable young against two menacing raptor dinosaurs. The scene is set in what is now central Asia, approximately 85 to 80 million years ago. Protoceratops was a small herbivorous dinosaur that grew up to two meters long and roamed these ancient lands. Meanwhile, several smaller raptors coexisted with them during this era, including the notorious Oviraptor known for its appetite for other dinosaurs' eggs. The artist's intricate illustration brings this prehistoric encounter to life as we witness the fierce determination of the Protoceratops parent protecting their offspring. The composition captures every detail from the texture of their scales to the intensity in their eyes. This mesmerizing print not only showcases nature's awe-inspiring diversity but also reminds us of an eternal truth – parents will go above and beyond to safeguard their young ones from any threat. It serves as a testament to the strength and instinctual drive ingrained within all living creatures. As we delve into paleontology through this remarkable artwork, let us marvel at our planet's rich history while appreciating how far our understanding has come thanks to scientific exploration and discoveries like those made by Science Photo Library.
