Description Miragaia longicollum

Discovered in 2009 in Portugal, Miragaia had 17 cervical vertebrae, four more than any other currently known stegosaurid.

Now I remember why I hate drawing ornithischians... it's the feet! I hate drawing "elephant feet."

Done entirely with a #2 mechanical pencil.

If it serves of any consolation, ornithischians didn't had "elephant feet". In fact, their hands are among the most interesting of all dinosaurs.

I do not mean "elephant feet" necessarily in regard to how they actually look. It's more in reference to the fact that the bone structure and the musculature are so very different, unlike say avians or equines.
