Dinosaur of the day Tianyulong, a heterodontosaurid ornithischian that lived in the Late Jurassic in what is now Western Liaoning Province, China.

He’s known for his research on theropods, writing the books Predatory Dinosaur of the World and The Princeton Field Guide to Dinosaurs, consulting with Jurassic Park and When Dinosaurs Roamed America, and creating many illustrations.
