If any of y’all have the chance to visit this exhibition, please go see it, it’s genuinely some of the most breathtaking art I have ever seen. In a “how is an earthly being capable of creating something like this” sort of way. #art #botany

I can finally share this!!! a huge Thanks to both @skyemcdavid.com and @zhejiang0pterus.bsky.social for allowing me to do a Nyctosaur for this poster!!!

How Fridays on #paleostream feel like...

A pair of American Mastodon chow down on a (slightly fantastical) pumpkin patch 🍂✨️ #sciart #paleoart

While bovines have not spread far beyond the known world, within its confines, there are numerous species that are quite successful. Perhaps chief among these are the buffalos, with the Seridic wetlands being home to a massive population of water buffalo. Link: www.youtube.com/watch?v=hLr5...

A growing ba'khar's bread and butter:

A paper was just published that looks at the genomes of all Gibbons, forming a full phylogeny and demographic history and finding the enigmatic Junzi imperialis to be the sister species of Nomascus hainanus (Junzi is a synonym of Nomascus)!!!! www.cell.com/cell/abstrac... #primates #science #gibbons

Colored sketch of the newly-validated Nanotyrannus lancensis, though it’s not having a good time. This baby has found itself grappled by a particularly ambitious Didelphodon, after wandering a little too far from home. #backinhell #paleoart #sciart #cretaceous

A quick doodle for the final day of #GarWeek, a large melanistic Alligator Gar cruises underneath an oblivious Ocelot somewhere in the bayous of Louisiana. A scene that may have happened several times in the past, and may continue to occur if both species are valued and protected. #wildlife #sciart

Foggy morning in Late Pleistocene Patagonia. #Art #SciArt #artbyjulio

Tonight’s flocking #Paleostream sketches (it’s been a hot minute): Nanotyrannus in the woods, Pteranodon over Protosphyraena, Phosphorosaurus + sturgeon lunch, and Helicoprion. #paleoart #sciart #cretaceous #permian #backinhell

I don't post it here much, but I love photographing wildlife nearly as much as I love drawing it. Here, a Chipping Sparrow borb rests atop the neighbor's fence. #wildlife #bird #photography

On the coast of Pliocene California, a Homotherium pounces upon a newborn Herpetocetus morrowi. These are Cetotheres, small baleen whales that thrived during the Miocene/Pliocene. For the sabertooth, such a tiny calf so close to shore is a rare treat. #paleoart #sciart #pliocene #california

and then Papa Rhea falls nervous and a bit defensive when his chicks check out an absolute behemoth - a female Megatherium americanum! Pleistocene Argentina, ~17,000 years ago. #paleoart #iceage #sloth

a greater rhea daddy and his chicks hang out with a 1+ ton Glossotherium robustum about 17 KYA in Pleistocene Argentina 🇦🇷! …. #paleoart #iceage #sloth #megafauna #birds #art #procreate

Woo! We Raised over $100 during #SaveTheVaquita kick off stream, benefiting #Vaquita conservation programs for porpoise.org 🎉💙🐬 Thank you so much! We're %30 of our $500 dollar goal, these cards will be available all week long till Nov 8th. Limited run print available here: ko-fi.com/s/f1e1568507

Quick finger-painting of a wild horse, using water, red clay, and a sidewalk. There were many wild horses here throughout most of the Cenozoic up until the very recent past, but now only scattered fossils and subfossils remain. Inspired by @nicodelort.bsky.social. #horse #paleoart #clay

the more i hear about ai the more I wanna go out pick up a rock grind up pigments and draw little horses on the walls of a cavern

October’s #NearbyNature2025 post is of Ctenus hibernalis, a harmless species of wandering spider found almost exclusively in Alabama. They are comparable in size to large wolf and fishing spiders, but are way more secretive than either (I’ve only ever found three). #sciart #wildlife #alabama

A partial recon of the new North American Pleistocene bovid Speleotherium logani. This guy is one of the few NA megafauna from this time described in the last century. Also showing that we still don't have a complete knowledge of the megafauna of Pleistocene NA #paleoart #sciart

Did some giraffes and forgot to post them: Canthumeryx, Climacoceras gentryi, Georgiomeryx, and Palaeotragus inexspectatus #paleoart #scieart

Science is awesome

Quick sketches of a concept I just had for my personal spec-evo project, a Kerguelen “Panther” that’s actually a cat-convergent Tritylodont. It’d be one of the apex predators of the Kerguelen landmass during the Holocene, sometimes attacking adult “dragons”. All of this is a long-term WIP. #specevo

Quick sketch (will likely add to it later) of the Toronto Subway Deer, formerly Torontoceros hypogaeus. A new paper has analyzed dna from the only known specimen (fragment of skull + antlers), and it’s a member of Odocoileus! Likely the closest relative of Mule Deer. #pleistocene #canada #sciart

Some mammals of the Seridic wetlands: A sparassodont, a coati, an armadillo, a hydrochoerine, and a mylodont sloth.

Demonstrating that cattle and conservation can coexist, over 7,000 acres of ranchland are protected safeguarding habitat for rare species in the heart of a Floridian wildlife corridor.

Fish of the genus Brycon are found in freshwater habitats in much of the known world, though are at their most abundant and diverse in the Seridic Wetlands. They are omnivores, primarily eating vegetation with a range of small fish and invertebrates.

Dust flies and wood breaks under the titanic efforts of two Scallop Nuns, the largest land animals of Lemuria. Their home are the open woodlands, which they formed in part themselves as they constantly topple smaller trees. This open up the landscape for grasses and ferns and...

Quick colored sketch of the deer Eocoileus gentryorum, bounding through a southeastern Cypress Swamp. It is known from the latest-Miocene and Pliocene of Florida and Tennessee, and is the earliest known deer in the Americas. #paleoart #cenozoic #deer #GrayFossilSite #sciart

Another concept-sketch for my personal spec-evo project: a small mammal, after weeks drifting at sea, looks up at its strange new neighbor on the shore of the Kerguelen landmass. At some point in the Paleocene, I’m planning on an endemic radiation of Xenarthrans taking hold. #specevo #xenarthra

Though other subspecies of green alar (also just called alar) can get quite large, the Seridic alar is the smallest member of not only the species but the genus overall. It is generally believed living alongside the only living species of Ardeanax (the ba'khar) contributes to this restriction.

Preview of my latest #paleoart piece: a baby bison flees the deadliest predator of Ice Age Europe. Harrowing, harrowing stuff.

Quick drawing of a speculative, but plausibly real, bird. New-World Warblers in the family Parulidae readily hybridize, and this is what I imagine a cross between a Magnolia Warbler and a Northern Parula might look like. #bird #warblers #wildlife

Such a wonderfully troll-shaped swamp monster, I’m super excited to see the upcoming documentary on this species in a few months! #kaimere #specevo

Ready your binoculars as Part 1 of the Encyclopedia update drops October 3rd! 📖 This ingame tool will allow you to log and learn more about the incredible fauna found in Los Angeles during the Late Pleistocene.

Just barely making it for September’s #NearbyNature2025, here’s the Mexican Long-nosed Armadillo. Formerly known as a northern subspecies of the recently-split Nine-banded Armadillo, this is the only Xenarthran native to Alabama today. They are mostly nocturnal insectivores. #wildlife #alabama
