Darren William Naish (born 26 September 1975) is a British vertebrate palaeontologist, author and science communicator.
As a researcher, he is best known for his work describing and reevaluating dinosaurs and other Mesozoic reptiles, including Eotyrannus,[1]Xenoposeidon,[2][3][4] and azhdarchid pterosaurs.[5][6] Much of his research has focused on Wealden Group fossils from the Isle of Wight.[7][8][9]
He is founder of the vertebrate palaeozoology blog Tetrapod Zoology, and has written several popular science books. Naish also makes frequent media appearances[10][11] and is a scientific consultant and advisor for film, television, museums and exhibitions.[12][13] Naish is also known for his scepticism and work examining cryptozoology and sea monster sightings and beliefs from a scientific perspective.[11][12][14][15]
