Every quarter, we like to acknowledge the work of one of our volunteers, and help you get to know our team in the process. This quarter, we’re pleased to introduce you to Undrakhsaikhan Tumen. Undraa manages the Bayanzag Facebook page and posts photos and stories from the Flaming Cliffs and surrounding community. Our Executive Director Bolortsetseg Minjin interviewed her for this post.

Protoceratops was hungry. A stocky plant-eater the size of a sheep with wide, strong feet, and a frill on the back of its head, it used its parrot-like beak to shear tough plants in a wash between sand dunes. It was not alone.
These two raptors called different places home and their anatomy suggests that they survived in very different ways.

After travelling across an ocean, waiting for the snowstorm to pass, and wondering if we’d make it to the Flaming Cliffs at all, we felt we’d achieved something monumental just getting here.
