Embasaurus minax

Description

One of the poorliest known dinosaurs, Embasaurus(emba-lizard) was a carnivorous theropod from which we only know 2 incomplete vertebras. Embasaurus is today considered a basal tyrannosauroid, but it is a nomen dubium until we find more fossils of it. Although or maybe because it is a such poorly known animal, Embasaurus minax is one of my favourite dinosaurs.
The picture shows a hypothetical reconstruction of Embasaurus, with 3 digits on the hand,typical for basal tyrannosaurs.
I think the picture is my best yet as it is so beautiful with the Embasaurus lying in the shadow and the small butterfly that sits on its snout and the embasaurus looks at it. Its one of my few pictures that has a real atmosphere in it. Its a cool contrast, showing a fearsome carnivore together with a small vulnerable creature like a butterfly.
Its also the first Embasaurus minax on DA and the third picture ever of this elusive carnivore.
