edit: oops, title. man, I hate that deviantart uses the file name titles

I KNOW I KNOW lined paper is evil. Still, it makes for a great template when creating species, so you can better judge the proportions. Anyways, originally these where supposed to be all Australian species, but I did more research and found that protoceratops (the ancestor of the top two saurids) were found nowhere near Australia. So instead they will be an Asian species. These are CARNIVOROUS ceratopsids, not gentle plant eaters like their cousins. Funnily these were originally supposed to be late Triassic psudosuchids, but I changed them to ceratopsids when I started working on modern dinosaurids. They're actually based on these clip on dresses that my little sister owns. I swear, they look like heads! (and thus they shall be called "dress heads", what I've been calling them all along).

The post-titanosaurs on the bottom are from Australia, the only place sauropods are still found. They have several adaptations to overcome the heat, including raised spines and large, heavily veined throat wattles to vent heat out of. Their nostrils are also enlarged, allowing to better vent heat. This makes their skull resemble the long extinct brachiosaurids. If sauropods ever had filaments, they're gone now due to the fact they would just be too hot. the larger species on the left lives in the tropical eucalyptus groves, while the smaller species live in more arid regions with shorter vegetation.
