Mr Bear coming to get a drink.

This is a male black bear and more than likely the father of the cubs we have around this year. #mammals

Harvey Weinstein didn’t want to support my indie film studio “Gorilla Cock Productions”

Now look at where he is, rotting away behind bars

Today's random piece of nostalgic palaeoart: Zdenek Burian's "Brontotherium" (Megacerops)

As with many of Burian's paintings, this was a major work in defining the way its subjects were imagined for decades to come, only overshadowed by Charles Knight's older, more rhino-like reconstructions. (1/5)
A herd of scruffy-furred, powerful bronotheres amble about a open plain, converging on a shallow pond. In the distance, two volcanos belch plumes of smoke and cloud the sky with ash.

Meet Palaeocampa anthrax, a newly discovered Carboniferous lobopodian, and 150 year old mystery fossil!

Palaeocampa is an exceptional lobopodian - it lived in rivers and lakes, bristled with thousands of poisonous spines, and more. 🧵

it's my birthday. i made it to 40. abt 30 years of it has been mostly art-making in some way, tradition and digital. i don't plan on giving that up any time soon.

ink and watercolor painting of two dogs in a gentle, tender embrace. one dog is white, the other is red. within the white dog is an exposed heart. the heart and the red dog have the same color palette. it is to represent vulnerability in tender intimacy, and bravely opening oneself to another and desire to feel unity with another individual. a black wolf staring at the viewer behind a tangle of venous red vines. three swords hang behind the wolf in the upper left portion of the composition "the thing" fan artwork. the dog from the film hangs suspended with fleshy tendrils reaching toward the lower half of the artwork banded snake shedding its skin, revealing the trans flag colors partially obscured by roses. text below reads "remake yourself"

that thing they say about Teto fans is true btw, we're all mentally ill

i call this piece:
"Vile Ripe Plant Ovary Meets Her Doom to a Kaatedocus" - 2025

#teto #tetokasane #paleoart #dinoart #dinosaurart
a Kaatedocus holds Pearto in its mouth, she looks terrified Kaatedocus is a diplodocid sauropod (large quadrupedal herbivorous reptiles with long necks and tails) that is quite similar to its more famous relative Diplodocus, however it's significantly smaller Pearto is a character created from the fusion of the Utauloid Kasane Teto and a pear

after a brief hiatus cause Josch was at EAVP, #Paleostream flocking is back!

this week we sketched Argentinosaurus, Wulong (mine is hunting a juvenile Sinopterus), Dorudon (mine is eating an Eopelecanus), and Temnodontosaurus

#paleoart #science #sciart #scicomm #dinosaur #whale
during a foggy morning, two adult Argentinosaurus travel through the thick clouds, one is only barely visible and both have the upper portion of their necks and lower portion of their bodies obscured. they tower over the trees closer to the camera, a carcharodontosaur looks up at the towering giants. Argentinosaurus is a kind of sauropod dinosaur (typically long necked and usually large quadrupedal reptiles), it's one of a handful of species that are debated to be the largest dinosaur in both size and weight however due to fragmentary material the debate still rages on an adult Wulong is hunting on the wing, it's about to use its right leg to kick a juvenile Sinopterus out of the air. Wulong is a kind of microraptorine dromaeosaurid (bird-like theropod dinosaurs who were capable of gliding and in some instances powered flight). it's only known from a juvenile specimen but we have preserved feathers from it that show the individual had iridescent feathers on the forelimbs and hindlimbs, with grey feathers on the rest of the body. Here i speculate that the colouration was a juvenile colouration and that the adults would be visually distinct Sinopterus is a kind of tapejarid pterosaur (flying reptiles that were frugivorous and had large conspicuous crests) known from the same formation as Wulong, ive based this reconstruction on the dubious pterosaur Nemicolopterus that many - includng myself - consider a juvenile tapejarid a Dorudon swims by the camera with the corpse of an Eopelecanus in its mouth, however most of the Eopelecanus' body is obscured. the Dorudon's body is covered in scars Dorudon is a kind of basilosaurid whale (ancient whales that still had small backflippers) which was predatory and looked not too disimilar to modern cetaceans (other then its visible hindlimbs) Eopelecanus is the oldest recorded pelican, despite the fact that it's only known from a single tibiotarsus (a bird foot bone), we know that pelicans have been very conservative in their morphology throughout their evolution so it's within reason to reconstruct it broadly similarly to modern pelicans a Temnodontosaurus surfaces for a breath, its body is covered in scars from previous battles and lamprey bite marks Temnodontosaurus is a kind of large predatory ichthyosaur (ichthyosaurs are a large group of whale-like marine reptiles that lacked scales, were warm-blooded, gave birth to live young, and had thick layers of blubber among other adaptations to live entirely in the water). studies of its head anatomy show it would've had great vision and a great sense of smell, while stomach contents show it fed on mainly cephalopods like squid, but also fed on other ichthyosaurs like the contemporary Stenopterygius of which we have 3 juveniles preserved inside stomach contents. a recent study of its fins showed that it had novel spike structures on the trailing edge of its flippers and creases on the surface that reduced the noise produced when swimming like those on owl wing feathers aiding the theory that it was an ambush predator.

I’ve just returned from a 5 day trip in #Michigan, and I must say the Great Lakes are pretty cool.
Photograph of the gravel shoreline of Lake Huron, facing out into the lake from a rocky pier of sorts. The weather is a little gloomy, with light grey clouds filling the whole sky, and the wind is making small waves crash against the shoreline.

New #paleoart for #FossilFriday, to be posted to #Patreon soon: countershaded #ichthyosaur Stenopterygius spams a lagoon with uniformly dark offspring (colour schemes suggested by fossils). Some ichthyosaur specimens have been found with 11 embryos, each 25% of adult body length. Yikes. #sciart
A mother ichthyosaur swims upside down, straining with the effort of expelling the last of her eleven babies. She is darker on her upper surface and pale below, while her offspring are entirely dark. She is giving birth in a shallow lagoon with abundant, low-growing green algae and patches of phaceloid corals. The births are unlike those of mammals in being relatively bloodless, though the amniotic sacs that contained each baby float in the water. The newborn ichthyosaurs still have their yolk sacs attached, which their siblings are eating as their first meals. Some of the eleven are swimming away from their mother, already independent and able to forage for themselves.
