Leaping raptor

acrylics 2010.

This is what we thought Romanian theropod Balaur bondoc might have looked like, at the time of its discovery. After more recent studies, it has been suggested that this more likely a flightless bird. So, I guess, this either stays as reminder of our first impressions OR just portrays another dromaeosaur.

A good example of the things paleontologists (and paleoartists as well) have to deal with.
