A long list. I can't talk about Ice Age, but for seasons 1 and 2 we made plans to feature Megaraptor, Charonosaurus, a polycotylid, Mahajangasuchus, Torosaurus, avisaurids, noasaurids, haramiyidans and more.

In 1989, a scientist visiting the north of #Madagascar observed a gigantic, wholly black fossa investigating the interior of a tent. This inspired a later study of local knowledge about this animal. What do we know? A new article at Tetrapod Zoology ... tetzoo.com/blog/2025/10...

Is there a bigger, badder, blacker fossa alive in Madagascar?

Of all the implications of the Nanotyrannus paper, I think I’m most excited by how heavy of a smackdown this is to the concept of declining dinosaur diversity leading up to the asteroid impact. If anything, these end Cretaceous North American ecosystems are positively stuffed with diversity!

Sketched this little guy eating a mammal earlier this year, although I didn't actually know what to call it then.
I guess we do now. Welcome back Nanotyrannus!

I remember when I interviewed Beth Shapiro about mammoth DNA and she told me that cloning is basically a distraction and we should focus on the biology of the real animals. Sucks to see her sell out to be part of Colossal and assist this vaporware science.

Because no the woolly mice don't mean mammoths are back, and DIRE WOLVES ARE NOT JUST WOLFIER WOLVES. GoT is FANTASY.

Dire wolves were not close relatives of gray wolves. They last shared a common ancestor more than 5 million years ago. What Colossal has done is make something new and slapped a dire wolf sticker on it, as if an organism equals a hypothetical genome.
