Discovery Collection: Raptors (digital zine)

Some of the most iconic dinosaurs are the sickle-clawed ‘raptors’ like Velociraptor. Most raptors were pretty small, about the size of chickens and turkeys, and every single one was feathered. They’re important to paleontologists for their central place in understanding the origin of birds. This issue of the Discovery Collection takes a look at some of the incredible diversity in size and habits of the raptors.

The five articles in this 40-page zine originally appeared in EarthArchives.org, compiled and edited by Pete Buchholz, and accompanied by new, exclusive images by Julio Lacerda. Full-color, richly illustrated life reconstructions also provided by Oliver Demuth, Nathan E. Rogers, Midiaou Diallo, Joschua Knüppe and Fabrizio De Rossi. Design and layout by Franz Anthony.

The downloadable 48MB ZIP file contains the e-zine both in PDF and EPUB formats.
