Possibly the most relatable scene in Prehistoric Planet: Ice Age. I can't help but imagine this being narrated with Kevin Hart's voice, “I'm a grown little man, watch these moves now baby, you can't handle this!" 🤓 🦕🦖

To know that these scenes were happening just as Augustus of Prima Porta became the first Roman emperor. Or when China was in the late Eastern Han dynasty. Not in the last ice age, not so long ago at all... 😔

I can't get over how fantastic these giant moas look and how sad it is to think that they're just one of the few animals portrayed in this show who just existed in their habitat 600 - 500 years ago. 😍😢 🦤

It's finally here! The newest trailer for Prehistoric Planet: Ice Age! 🤓🦬🦣

Belief in a flat Earth is one of the ultimate mind traps - a blind faith you've swallowed hook, line, and sinker from your echo-chamber indoctrination, starting with those shady YouTube rabbit holes you dove into during your late-night paranoia sessions in your mom's basement, amplified by fake "

Happy Halloween to everyone!! 🎃 👻 🧙‍♂️🧛‍♂️🧛‍♀️🧝‍♂️🧝‍♀️🧞‍♀️🧟‍♂️🧟‍♀️🧌🦸‍♀️🦹‍♀️🦹‍♂️👽👹🧙‍♀️🧙

For those who impose and continuously say that their fantasy book is 100% true. MAGA volunteers would be greatly appreciated. 🤣

This is why I love paleontology. For over 20 years, I and most of my colleagues were skeptical about the validity of the genus Nanotyrannus. Now, say hello to Nanotyrannus lethaeus. The image below features a pack of these N. lethaeus attacking a juvenile T. rex. Art by Anthony Hutchings.

When someone tells you, "I believe every single word of the bible!" No, they don’t. They don’t believe it when it says god lies, when it says god commands child sacrifice, when it says another god defeated YHWH in battle, when it says Jesus’ followers must obey

Christian "science." For they hate true science and how it reveals that their book is a work of pure fiction.

Precisely!

I agree, very well said. "Prayers don’t stop bullets like in Minneapolis. If your plan to combat school shootings is asking an invisible sky-being for help, then kids are doomed. Religion is harmful when it replaces critical thinking and real action with “thoughts and prayers.”

Some awesome news for armored dinosaur lovers! More material for Spicomellus afer has been announced. This armored dinosaur hails from the African country of Morocco. What's most astounding about this specimen, at 165 million

Ever since I was first told about the mythical tale of Moses and learned that the Christian god killed every firstborn child in Egypt because the Pharaoh didn't do what he wanted. I often asked, "Why didn't he just kill the Pharaoh?" It wasn't until I read the bible that I learned

Among my favourite marine reptiles are the temnodontosaurs, mostly big, predatory #ichthyosaurs, mostly from the European Early #Jurassic. WHAT were they doing, how were they making a living? An extraordinary new #OA paper in Nature provides some answers... www.nature.com/articles/s41...
