Idea for a paleo artist?



    Raymond Thaddeus C. Ancog informed us, >In an old edition of the
Time-Life book "The Birds" by Roger Tory Peterson, he also said that the
naked head [of a vulture] exposes pathogens to the purifying rays of the
sun.<

    Thanks to Raymond for pointing out this interesting fact. It might
provide an idea for a paleo artist to include in a dinosaur painting, with a
dromeosaurid resting couchant (sphinx-like pose) beside a recently
disemboweled carcass, sunning its bloody and pretty much featherless head.
