🦖 Daily Paleo 🦖; Thylacoleo carnifex From Late Pleistocene Australia, the "marsupial lion" was Australia's largest mammalian predator at about the size of a lioness. With pound for pound the strongest bite force of any mammal ever, it was uniquely specialized for killing large prey

The dwarf Stegodon from Prehistoric Planet: Ice Age might be the most real-looking CGI animal I’ve ever seen. It’s stunning! Everything they’ve shown so far looks incredible, but I keep going back to this specific image. It’s SO good.

So you're going to suspend work due to small earthquakes ONLY for today... but your building inspection will be on Thursday? C'mon 😫

Some days, I honestly wish I can just focus on teaching. But maybe my thirst for research isn't that big as it used to be because I haven't had a consistent mentorship for it... Maybe I should seek some out, but how?

Drafting exam questions at the speed of light

The moment I see consistent weather announcements for the Western Pacific region here, I guess I'll consider this place to have made it 😌

ドラゴンたちから空を奪った存在についてもどこかでまとめたいわね

Enantiornithes! Dr. Polaris brought up something about their reproductive habits. Interesting... www.youtube.com/watch?v=SRU7...

“Dragging a ladder through long rows of bookshelves can be exhausting. It’s much more efficient to have a co-worker who’s able to reach the top shelves on their own or at least give you a boost climbing up.” #miragaia #stegosaur #dinosaur #paleoart #library #librarian #books

Had the pleasure of meeting Yi Xu, a Shanghai-based children's educational book illustrator. She's working on some exceptional palaeontology-themed books. Starting with Paleozoic. I love the highlight on the lesser known animals 🐌🧵

My brain is burning. Why is accreditation so hard 😭🔥

#WWD2025 'S GASTONIA IS AN AWE-INSPIRING EXISTENCE.

SOON.... Behind-the-scenes events happening all the time

I love giant chungus turtles 😌 youtu.be/5Y-vODb7CuI?...

I understand why they had to stop him but I don’t agree with imprisoning him in the phantom zone

uwaaa cute cat-adjacents ☺️✨️ youtu.be/4zVSCF6mAc0?...

Like I know doctrine is important to you, but can we practice some empathy???

WE ARE...EXACTLY ONE MONTH (30 DAYS) AWAY FROM #PrehistoricPlanet S03...

I’ve been sick all day and asleep for like 15 hours but I feel like bringing back sacabambaspis would heal this nation

It's International Save the #Vaquita Day! With fewer than 20 left, the vaquita is the world's most endangered marine mammal. I painted this piece in the hope of raising awareness for vaquita.day. #SaveTheVaquita #Cetacean #whales #porpoise #endangeredspecies #conservation #Animalart #Sciart

(Old Art) Leaellynasaura Illustration! I haven't posted this here yet, so just gonna show it here. I have depicted a "Months of Light Seasons Morph" (Dark Variant) and a "Months of Dark Seasons Morph" (Light Variant), Inspired by old illustrations with different morphs in books. #sciart #paleoart

#DINOSAURIA DAVID JAMES ARMSBY'S KAYENTA FORMATION AESTHETICS!

#DINOSAURIA You are a small herbivore, trying to stay alive in the Kayenta Formation. Your worst fear: the largest predator in the region, Dilophosaurus wetherilli. But surely, being an agile creature with keen senses, you can easily spot a big, bulky predator, right? ...Right?

Another absolutely spectacular entry in David James Armsby’s incredible “Dinosauria” short film series. This might mark the first time Scutellosaurus has a prominent role in a work of dinosaur media, and it makes for a very memorable debut.

Random animal figures near and on the desk today...

Here I bring you the recreation of Eousdryosaurus, a small Portuguese dryosaurid, quite similar in principle to Dryosaurus, which has served as a model for the proportions (we only know its hind legs) and an addition of filamentous protofeathers.

Older, slightly more explosive version

Just in time for spooky season: DINOSAUR "MUMMIES!" Unlike Egyptian mummies, these don't have squishy bits preserved, but the rock around these carcasses had clay capturing texture of scales, a midline crest w/ keratin spikes, &, brand new, feet w/ hooves! 🧪⚒️🦕🦖 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

I think I need to calm down 😔

#WWD2025 Some youthful little spoonlings to brighten your day!

Carcharodontosaurus

Therizinosaurus

Am I wrong for thinking their color patterns go well together?

I'm back in WA at the moment. Unlike their Tasmanian counterparts, these beautiful native cockroaches come out and sunbake on leaves during the day. Invasive cockroaches give them all such a bad name. The native Australian varieties are like little works of art. Ellipsidion australe

I might go so far as to say Wikipedia is the single most important website on today’s internet. Maybe the internet in general. It is a necessary resource and we need to do all we can to support it.

Following the path, autumn is bursting out all over. 🍂

i'm not even sure if this was intentional but if it was i'm mad at myself for not noticing earlier

Posting these ones together from when I got really into underwater interestingly lit algae last year. Tiktaalik and eustenopteron. #palaeoart #paleoart

Ayo, some of our officials are releasing their net worths and encouraging everyone else to get back into the practice!

Sir David Attenborough, the British documentarian and naturalist, became the oldest person to win a Daytime Emmy on Friday at age 99. He beat the record set last year by Dick Van Dyke. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/18/a...

One year in this space! 🥳 It's kinda' comfy and chill out here. I'd like to stay for a little while more 😌

Some birds just show up more often in my art than others, because well, let´s be honest, they are just awesome. The peregrine falcon is one of those birds, it just makes such a wonderful subject for paintings and especially portraits! Here is some work done over the last few years.

We were taught that Wikipedia wasn't a good enough primary source for any scholarly work. But honestly? With a decent editorial system, it's such a great gateway into a whole host of topics you're unfamiliar with.

The #PrehistoricPlanet S03 episode storylines have been updated on IMDB. Based on the synopsis provided by the original press release, the first episode might be 'The Big Freeze' or 'Tundra Lands'. Take this with a BIG grain of salt. (Still no new trailer...)

Probably the best anurognathus model I've seen so far (Shenzen Dinosaur Museum)!
