Leaellynasaura amicagraphica... or not???? according to some, the tail material can't be confidently assigned to the species. either way, something had a ludicrously long tail in early cretaceous australia for sure.

I've been wanting to draw a #Presbyornis #pervetus for a while now. It is #Mesozoic bird related to the waterfowl. The look was inspired by the Labrador duck, though that does not really show in the final product. I was inspired by the Egyptian goose and then the pink eared duck too.
