Description
Just decided to another pit of artwork based around prehistoric life.
In this case, kind of a follow-up to a previous image i made with this species.
you can find it here >www.deviantart.com/taliesaurus…

basically after having eaten his fill, the male returns to the shoreline to rest his wings among the company of his females.
Not much else to say other than i hope you lot enjoy it.
