Frogs and toads – anurans – have profoundly modified skeletons and are among the most atypical of tetrapods...
Time for another article from the extensive TetZoo archives, this time a piece from ver 2, 2008 (original here). We begin with this interesting photo provided by my good friend Markus Bühler (of Bestiarium): it shows a bull Asian elephant Elephas maximus at Hagenbeck Zoo, Hamburg…
Of the several phantasmal creatures associated with the British and European countryside, among the most widespread and ancient is the Black Dog...
It seems a good time to republish this article from the archives, first published at ver 2 in 2009, and then again at ver 3 in 2015…
I have a new camera (thanks Chris), so I’ve been trying to photograph birds (trying to). And look: a success, of sorts…
Yup, the blog has been here (as in: at TetZoo.com) for FOUR YEARS…
I’ve written a fair amount about HORSES at TetZoo, predominantly at versions 2 and 3. For reasons, I now aim to reproduce it here at ver 3. We start with a article I first published in 2015 (original version here)…
After a gestation that’s involved most of the current century, the long-awaited monographic description of the Early Cretaceous theropod dinosaur Eotyrannus lengi has finally appeared in print…
In another effort to rescue old TetZoo material from the vandalized archives of ver 2 and 3, here’s a slightly revamped version of a 2009 article on hartebeest (the original version is here)…
It’s time to look at duikers. Again.
Yup, another new dinosaur from the Cretaceous of the UK…
No time for anything new here lately – I think some of you will know why – but I have some breaking news...
Regular readers of Tetrapod Zoology should know that I’m a big fan of cassowaries, and indeed have a serious academic interest in them…
Once again I’m giving you something from the archives, since there’s just no chance at all to produce anything new right now. Here, then, is a TetZoo ver 3 article that was originally published there in 2013 (that version is here). Ironically, that 2013 article was itself a republishing of a version from 2009…
Inspired by my recent article on South American wild dogs, I went to the trouble of digging out a very brief TetZoo ver 2 article I published in 2007 on the remarkable and beautiful 'fox on stilts', the Maned wolf Chrysocyon brachyurus (said article is here). My aim was to augment and update that text such that it might be a useful one-stop review on this animal.
Once more I must resort to plundering stuff from the archives, this time an article from TetZoo ver 2, originally published in July 2008 (and available here at wayback machine). Today: the kogiid sperm whales!
What happened at Tet Zoo Towers during 2021? Well….
