Thought it would be useful to make a list of all the animals we have covered so far in or 'Creature of the Week' feature so people can have easy access to view the previous creatures of the week (they can also be tracked by clicking the 'creatureoftheweek' tag at the bottom of each thread).

So far we have:

Andrewsarchus

Anomalocaris

Barbourofelis

Basilosaurus

Centrosaurus

Diprotodon

Euparkeria

Falcarius

Giraffatitan

Hallucigenia

Ichthyornis

Jeholopterus

Kelenken

Liopleurodon

Megaloceros

Nothronychus

Oviraptor

**Galvasean** · 08-12-2009, 14:26

Paraceratherium

Quinkana

Rahonavis

Sharovipteryx

Thylacosmilus

Utatsusaurus

Volaticotherium

Wukongopterus

Xiphactinus

Yangchuanosaurus

Zhenjiangopterus

The list will be updated weekly (probably).

sweet. great idea

**Galvasean** · 08-12-2009, 14:30

The plan is to go through the alphabet (ie: next week is a creature beginning with D, the week after is E etc.) and then start again at A when we get through the first lot. Myself and marco polo will take turns choosing a creature.

And of course, user nominations will be considered (not that there is anything stopping anyone from starting a thread of their own if they want a particular favourite creature of theirs in the spotlight). But, please, try not to nominate creatures which are too well known (ie: T.rex), which everyone already knows loads about.

If people are interested we could make a creature of the month competition where users can vote for their favourite of the creatues. The creatures of the month could then go on to face each other in a creature of the year poll.
Granted it's late November, so there wont be much choice for 2009, but I still think it might be fun.

diplodocus december

**Galvasean** · 08-12-2009, 14:47

Isn't he a bit well known?
Well, it's marco's turn, so blame him.

**marco_polo** · 08-12-2009, 15:04

Down to the final three in the race for selection for next week, no Dinos in the shakeup I'm afraid.

**Nerin** · 08-12-2009, 15:05

dimorphodon december?

**Galvasean** · 08-12-2009, 15:14

Dimetrodon... Diictodon... Dunkleosteus... Devincenzia... Dinictis

So many choices...
Best stop guessing. I'll only spoil the surprise.

There is a great selection alright, I am under so much pressure I almost feel like a should do a Double D December extravaganza.

Dinosaurs with boobs does not sit well with me...

That said, fo the month that's in it, do you want to stick with D until December is over?

No I just forgot it was weekly there for a moment.

**Galvasean** · 08-12-2009, 15:52

We do need to pick a creature of the month for November...
That would be Anomalocaris versus Basilosaurus.

No need for a new thread. Just say who you want to win here on thread.
Posters place your votes now! (runs until the end of December)

**marco_polo** · 15-12-2009, 00:36

Tough choice so many Ds I would have loved to have written about, especially Dimetrodon. In the end I went with Diprotodon as along with most of the Australian megafauna, it is probably not that well known, and pretty cool in my book.

Oh and it is now 1-0 to Basilosarus for November.
