100 million-yr-old 'parrot lizard' dinosaur replicated
A UK-based artist has collaborated with researchers to accurately replicate a more than 100-million-year-old 'parrot lizard' dinosaur. Based on a well-preserved fossil found in China, artist Bob Nicholls used laser imaging to replicate the 'Psittacosaurus', a turkey-sized, plant-eating, walking dinosaur. It was revealed the dinosaur used countershading, a form of camouflage used by prey animals.
