When Smart Birds Struggle: What Arctic Birds Taught Me About Climate Risk

A digitally composed image shows a prehistoric reptile—resembling an early crocodilian or basal archosaur—walking across a volcanic landscape. In the background, a volcano erupts dramatically, spewing lava and ash into the sky. The scene illustrates a time when ancient reptiles thrived amid extreme geological activity, hinting at the resilience and evolutionary success of early crocodile relatives.
