Thank you! :)
My latest drawing, a commission for @veppart.bsky.social who wanted to see some great auks just chilling and doing auky stuff like standing around, swimming, and being fancy. No predators, no danger, no fear. Except for those fish. Their day is ruined for sure.
:)
Dire wolf?
Looking great!
π¦ Daily Paleo π¦; Mexidracon longimanus
From Late Cretaceous Cerro Del Pueblo Formation, Mexico, "Long armed Mexican dragon" is a newly described ornithomimosaur with extremely long metacarpals. Its discovery hints at a greater diversity of ostrich mimic dinosaurs
Art by @hodarinundu.bsky.social
@hodarinundu.bsky.social suggested the idea of chromatophores in ceratopsian frills.

Awesome. :B but no caterpillar ever snaked more than Hemeroplanes!
π¦ Daily Paleo π¦; Xenosmilus hodsonae
From Early Pleistocene Florida, "strange knife" was a sabre toothed cat with broad canines and serrations on all its teeth. It has been theorized to inflict deep wounds on its prey before retreating, earning it the name "cookie cutter cat"
Why do you think I drew this fugly mofo? :B Extra padding to absorb shock from punches
π¦ Daily Paleo π¦; Tameryraptor markgrafi
From Late Cretaceous Bahariya Formation, Egypt, "seizer from the beloved land" is a newly described 9 meter Carcharodontosaur based on Stromer's now lost findings. Other than having more shark like teeth, it also had a small snout crest
That looks like two guys on a chicken suit XD
Must I always do the paleontologists' job?
That pond is gonna be key :B
Thank you! Yeah it might even be that it resumes volcanic activity one day- it has been proven that it isn't geologically dead
what's the difference?
Not a friggin golden eagle flying over my house twice!!! Sadly didn't get the camera in time D: what a gift tho :B
I wouldn't know!
Enjoy Christmas cause when I take over the world you'll have to celebrate Hodari...mas, I guess, and anyone who isn't sufficiently merry will be fed to the jaguars
Dragon's moon :B Inspired by the beautiful full moons this year, and by the recent article about how our Moon was volcanically active during the Cretaceous. Was this visible from Earth? Did dinosaurs take notice? Good thing about being an artist is, you can draw whatever :B
But sharper
Nah I like them wild
Speculative miniature sabercat... :B Known machairodontines are generally speaking large cats- even the smallest known are leopard or lynx sized. I wonder if any truly tiny species evolved- maybe in some island. Imagine one housecat sized or smaller, but still able to kill prey larger than itself..
American lion still distracted trying to see the Frosty Leo Nebula the pronghorns told it about
Am I the only one who still uses ttyl?
Hah maybe :B One of my favorite dinosaur books was illustrated by him, got it as a Christmas present by my parents. I'm sure he was an influence here and there :B
Apparently there's a myth out there that pronghorn have telescope eyes that can see the rings of Saturn. That sounds real cool but I donΒ΄t think it's true. Also getting distracted by astronomy probably would have been maladaptive in the Pleistocene...
I will never stop sharing my Siats from 2015 cause I still consider it one of my masterpieces :B
Oooh I only ever watched it once on TV when I was a kid :B
