Just a quick newsflash this time.
As you may know, the Furaha book sold out within three months of appearing on the market. Luckily, Crowood Press, the publisher, quickly ordered a new print run (printed in 2025, as opposed to 2025 for the first print run). That new print run is almsot here; this is what the editor told me today: "Your book will be restocked next week (because of Easter we will lose this Friday and Monday)."
That is good news! So, if you are tempted to be the book after reading favourable reviews, do not be put off by 'out of stock' messages.
Speaking of favourable reviews, Darren Naish just published
a review of 'Wildlife on the Planet Furaha' that can be found here: https://tetzoo.com/blog/2026/
In case you did not know, Darren is well known for his 'TetZoo' (Tetrapod Zoology) blog and tetZoo conferences, and for being a scientific advisor for Prehistoric Planet. He is also an organiser of DinoCon, a dinosaur-based fun conference (read about the first one in 2025 here); the next one will be in Birmingham, on the 25th and 26th of July 2026. I recommend going!
Mind you, I will get back to writing regular blog posts soon. I expect to write more on how many legs you may expect on alien animals (together with Biblaridion), as well as about a SpecBio journal. I have also been thinking about what would allow larger animals to change colour quickly (I am not yet certain whether that is possible, but as usual there are no ready answers in the literature).
