Found this humorous exchange on

's fantastic
illustration of a pair of
Mei, a troodont well known for its holotype being preserved in a sleeping position:

: Also, no, Mei long is not always sleeping. Sometimes you can find it eating, preening, pooping, screwing, strutting, yawning, fluffing itself up, etc....

: Lol! Someone should draw a Mei doing each of those things.

(Preferably not all at once.)

:

Preening would be an interesting one, imo. And yes, I should hope most dino-birds did not do all those at once!


: Hell, I hope nothing does all that at once!
Me:
So now we have a male
Mei grooming, yawning, strutting in place, pooping, fluffing itself up, feeding on a freshly-killed mammal, and mounting a female at the same time. That female is
not having a good day.

BTW, kudos for the inclusion of RSD.
