What is your avatar of?? 
It kinda looks like Spike(Except looking a little different) with vampire teeth 
It's actually a
Lystrosaurus, a dicynodont from the late Permian and early Triassic. In English,
it's a distant relative of mammals that lived before the dinosaurs, at the time the supercontinent Pangaea existed. It was by far the most common backboned land animal of its time (especially after roughly 70% of its fellow land-dwellers became extinct at the end of the Permian :blink:), with fossils known from every continent. Four to six species are currently recognized (my avatar is based on
Lystrosaurus georgi). Its group name, dicynodont, translates as “two dog teeth”, and refers to the fact that all members of the infraorder were toothless except for a pair of tusks (which may have been possessed by only males or females in some species, and were absent altogether in others).
Lystrosaurus's own name means “shovel reptile”, because it has long been suspected of being a digging animal.
Like all known dicynodonts,
Lystrosaurus was a plant eater. Among its kind, it was medium-sized, being about as large as a pig, and probably resembling one too. Here's
Here's what the entire animal looked like (in fact, I used this same image as a reference while drawing my avatar).
As I'm sure you recognized, the
Lystrosaurus is drawn in the style of a LBT dinosaur. The features of the head are based on those of the frogs and turtles in LBT IX, and I looked at Cera's horn to get an idea of how to draw the tusks. Light green and yellow just felt “right” for colors (even though real
Lystrosaurus probably had more mammal-like hides, and possibly even hair), and I made the eyes brown because that's the color mine are.
I only drew the head because (1) I would have had to shrink down a full-body image to a point where details might not have been recognizable, and (2) I was too lazy to bother.
As I said in my response to my last question, I thought that it was an appropriate creature to use as an avatar, given my screen name. (As I state in my signature, I'm represented by a
Lystrosaurus; I hoped it would help people know what my avatar was.
)
Did I answer this question before? It just occurred to me that I most likely did. :blink: Ah, no matter; I love answering this particular question.
If you go away, what do you do with Sasquatch? (also how is he?)
So far we’ve never left the house for more than a couple of days at a time since we got Sasquatch, so I’m not entirely sure what we’d do if we had to leave for a week or something. Hoever, if we’re ever gone for more than a night, we usually have a friend of my sister’s come to the house to check on Sasquatch, refill his food and water, clean his litterbox, etc.
Do you like owls?
Oh, yeah.
I love owls. You can blame the
Guardians of Ga’Hoole books for that.
I’ve bought quite a few books on owls recently (nonfiction, not just novels), and incidentally we’ve also been hearing a lot of barred owls outside our house at night.
Have you ever done anything spontaneous and out of character? (Sorry if that one has been asked).
Hmm…meaning have I ever done something out of the blue that was totally atypical for me? I almost certainly have, but I can’t think of any examples right now.
Anyhow...on with a question, and you don't have to answer this if you don't want to, have you ever had a crush on anyone before?
No. In fact, I don't think I've ever experienced romantic feelings for anyone in my life. :blink:
