Assignment 2 - "creature". Class sample: a newspaper constructed, ~2 1/2 ft. "bug." My first foray into creaturedom was an attempt at a Sinosauropteryx, that had just had a color profile done some 125 million years after life. Seems melatonin (pigment) sacks are different shapes, depending on color, and fossils of primitive feathers can shed light on original dinosaur color.

I was not pleased with my wire frame bending and wadding newspaper attempts, so a new Science Friday story on developments on the evolution of bdelloid rotifers—a wonderful creature name—caught my attention.
