EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration by Neave Parker depicts a Scleromochlus, a fascinating bipedal reptile that roamed the Earth approximately 200 million years ago during the late Triassic period. Scleromochlus was a member of the Archosauria, a group of reptiles that includes crocodiles, dinosaurs, and their extinct relatives. More specifically, it belonged to the Diapsida, a subgroup of reptiles characterized by a double row of holes in the skull, and the Sauropsida, a larger group that includes all living reptiles and their extinct relatives. Scleromochlus was a small reptile, growing to around three feet in length. Its bipedal stance, with two legs supporting its body and a long, slender tail for balance, sets it apart from many other reptiles of its time. The illustration captures the Scleromochlus in its natural habitat, likely a dry, arid environment, with the sun casting long shadows on the ground. The intricate details of the Scleromochlus's scales, textured skin, and the subtle shading of its body bring the illustration to life. Neave Parker's talent for capturing the essence of prehistoric creatures is evident in the way the Scleromochlus seems to leap off the page, transporting us back to the 20th century when this illustration was created. This illustration is a testament to the enduring fascination humans have with the ancient world and the creatures that once inhabited it. It serves as a reminder of the rich history of life on Earth and the importance of preserving and studying our planet's natural history.
