Ancient creatures get new life

In 2006 when he was still in college, Zhao's drawing Restoration of Volaticotherium for a research piece was published as the cover of the British Nature magazine.

It was the first time that a Chinese artwork was chosen for the cover of the magazine.

After the publication of the picture on the magazine cover, Zhao won wide recognition from the paleontology community at home and abroad and has become a well-known science artist.
