Merry Christmas, here's a non-Lord of the Rings usage of "fell beast" by a Victorian paleontologist via @tetzoo.bsky.social Wondering if this was a stock phrase around Tolkien's era.

If you ever got pranked by an Australian about "dropbears" they're real, just very extinct

Did you know this fact from paleoecologist Emily Lindsey? She and fellow scientific consultant @tetzoo.bsky.social share what went into getting "Prehistoric Planet: Ice Age" right: buff.ly/3gAzCGf

Finally made a start on a TetZooTowers_collection inventory, and box 1 was mostly sharks, rays and cephalopods.

The design of the animals in the series is really top-notch, and the scientific accuracy testifies to the awesome contribution of @tetzoo.bsky.social and the other scientific consultants.

This is paired with incredible sceneries... Look at this stunning shot of mammoth herds in a Pleistocene steppe

I have finally watched Prehistoric Planet: Ice Age!!!

I guess that the fact that it made me obsessed with the Ice Age and Pleistocene megafauna means it hits the point.
It is sooo good!

Some more thoughts coming soon 🧵
