Welcome to my user page! I am a university student and may be inactive for weeks or months at a time. I also contribute to Commons semi-regularly and to Wikidata and Wikispecies as needed. Here is a gallery for my favorite Wikipedia and Commons images.

My username refers to dicynodonts—specifically, Diictodon, a Late Permian dicynodont that survived the end-Permian mass extinction. These little creatures are one of the "protagonist" taxa in the third and final episode of the 2005 BBC documentary series Walking with Monsters.
