Lighthouse Mimics (Farimendax carolinae) are pack hunters that evolved from deep-sea fish.
When a ship passes by, a lone hunter uses its lighthouse-like lure to trick the crew into redirecting the boat, leading it to crash into shallow rocks. The stranded sailors become the pack's next meal.

the front cover of a zine i'm making about the perception & experiences of masculinity, "am i man enough for you?"
this zine aims to explore how ppl identify their masculinity, and where the similarities lie between cis & trans individuals

Just realised I've now modelled the (estimated) largest extinct vertebrate and invertebrate. Maybe I should make a little fella next.

Ichthyotitan severnensis - known from a huge partial surangular bone this Triassic ichthyosaur may have even exceeded the blue whale in length.

Proof of concept for an animation idea I have. The simulation definitely needs optimising if I want longer clips (took about 8 hours to bake) but render time was pretty forgiving.

In 1977 the Japanese ship Zuiyo-maru caught a highly decomposed carcass first assumed to be that of a plesiosaur. Though quickly identified as a basking shark, a recently uncovered image from the small New Zealand fishing vessel Karetai dating to 1975 casts doubt on this theory.

By the 1950's it was widely accepted that the giant squid (Architeuthis dux) was the origin behind the myth of the "Kraken".
In 1956 this theory was challenged with the discovery of an enormous shelled carcass found beached upon the small Norwegian island of Flesa.
