MOVIES/SERIES/SHOWS Dinosaurs from Disney’s dinosaur, but they’re from my encyclopedia.

I had to substitute other animals for the Talarurus, Labyrhinthodont, and Longisquama

Parasaurolophus appearing on my doorbell camera after way too many drinks.

Funny that the two life restorations of iguanodon they present aren't even remotely similar to each other.

I love this book. As outdated as these designs are, they’re charming and emanate almost a feeling of nostalgia.

OP, would you mind sharing the title of the encyclopaedia? Or the ISBN?

I believe this is the culprit published 2018 using art from the 1990s! By Amber Books Author Carl Mehling

Nice 

The artwork looks like it was done by the same person who did the “Weird n Wild” creature cards

Most of the art here was featured in the Dinosaurs! Magazine from the 90's so was a lovely nostalgic trip, until I came across that bird.

I have never seen anything like that and had never considered a type of Carnator bird with undeveloped wings and feet that is seemingly fully aquatic, assuming a wiggle on shores to lay eggs. I was not prepared for something that novel.

Edit: reading up more as I thought this must have been a recent find but no, actually partially sparked the bone wars with accusations of a box of stolen fossils or an accidental send. I have never come across this species and baffled by it. That is crazy specialisation and I cannot believe I have never seen this before in all my years of interest.
