Somewhere in Pleistocene Europe. An Elasmotherium sibiricum is lying down among some Eremophila alpestris. By the right side, a Megaloceros giganteus contemplates the grass plain from the shade of tree (Populus), while two hypothetical ancestral genus Pica look for food on its antlers.

Possibly the first reconstruction of a dinosaur to come from Africa, drawn in the 1910s by a native Tanzanian (then part of the colonial Deutsch-Ostafrika) taking part in the Tendaguru fossil excavations.

Scansorial pterosaurs by Zdeněk Burian, love to see it. And a good example of palaeoartists figuring out animal behaviour, with the actual science catching up later.

Hi I'm Ligus,

I'm a traditional artist from Berlin.
#SundayFishSketch made me start painting again and I fell in love with fish and marine biology.
I'm also trying to boost other #sciart .
Sometimes there will be some dog and crow posts ;)

Dreaming of summer.

One of my many random hobbies is finding, photographing and then illustrating moths. It has opened my eyes to whole new layers of biodiversity, hidden in the tiny fluttering things I didn't give a second glance before.

These three are from central Finland from last June.

This is a practical exercise with Scelidosaurus harrisoni, trying to propperly represent the anatomical complexity of its fermall bones.

This is such an incredibly beautiful example of palaeolithic ivory carving. The artist even made fine surface details to show the lateral markings of the fur, which are more or less identical with a horse depicted in the Lascaux cave.

Beautiful and ancient #IceAge art!

Small figurine of a horse, realistically sculpted from mammoth ivory around 15,000 years ago.

Known as ‘The Little Horse of Lourdes’ it was found in 1886, in a rock fissure in the Espélugues cave, Lourdes, Haute-Pyrénées, France. 📷 by me
