EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back 120 million years ago to Liaoning, China, where a feathered Microraptor gracefully perches atop a majestic tree fern. As one of the smallest dinosaurs ever discovered, Microraptor's entire body was adorned with feathers, including elongated ones on its arms and legs that allowed it to fly. With its broad stabilizing tail and four wings, this primitive raptor defied conventional dinosaur stereotypes. The digitally generated image showcases the intricate details of this prehistoric creature in vibrant colors. It highlights the fascinating evolution of life during the Mesozoic era when dinosaurs roamed the Earth. The Jiufotang Formation serves as a backdrop for this scene, transporting us to an ancient world filled with lush vegetation and diverse flora. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are reminded of the incredible diversity that once existed in our planet's past. This extinct species represents a crucial link between birds and their reptilian ancestors known as sauropsids. Its predatory nature is evident through its sharp beak and keen eye fixed on potential prey. Let this mesmerizing image transport you to a time long gone but forever imprinted in our collective memory. Explore the wonders of paleontology and marvel at the beauty of nature's creations through Walter Myers' stunning depiction of Microraptor perched atop a tree fern – an exquisite snapshot from Earth's distant past.
