We thought coelacanths barely changed for 380 million years…

Until new research revealed they actually evolved, driven by what they least expected!

The Fish that Defied Evolution for 400 Million Years
Coelacanths were believed extinct for 66 million years until a shocking discovery in 1938. New research reveals this "living fossil" actually evolved, but followed a surprising pattern that changed…

🚨 THIS IS NOT A DRILL 🚨

Let’s go way back in time, over 500 million years ago, to the Middle Cambrian. Let’s meet Anomalocaris canadensis an amazing radiodont arthropod that is quite interested in a pair of Aysheaia pedunculata in the middle of a territorial dispute

One is the brains, the other is the muscle.
Digital illustration: a jungle clearing in the middle of which lies a huge dinosaur (Tarbosaurus, a close relative of T. rex). Its head is raised up, and on the tip of its snout a small brown bird is perching, seemingly unafraid. Close up of the previous image, showing the bird perched on Tarbosaurus’ snout.

New #paleoart for #FossilFriday: battling Borealopelta with deep (instead of "high waisted") armour and pigmentation. There's a scientific rationale behind this #ankylosaur #art, which you can read here, along with viewing the hi-res and WIPs of the painting. www.patreon.com/posts/130274... #sciart
Against a light purple sky and yellowish plantscape, two russet-coloured armoured dinosaurs wrestle in wet mud, one having got purchase under its rival to heave it up: will it topple over? Why would ankylosaurs do this? Fighting over resources, like lady ankylosaurs or territory? It's hard to say. Ultimately, animals are a lot like people, Mrs. Simpson. Some of them act badly because they’ve had a hard life or have been mistreated. But, like people, some of them are just jerks.

Ever seen a giant worm? 👀 Members of the genus Martiodrilus can grow ~4.9 ft (1.5 m) in length & weigh up to 1.1 lbs (0.5 kg)! Inhabiting parts of South America, they're rarely seen above ground—but can sometimes be heard moving through the soil.

A photo of a human hand beside a gargantuan worm on muddy terrain. The worm is longer than the human hand and arm. It has a many-segmented body.

Congrats to Crystal Palace on winning their first ever major trophy! I’ve long had a soft spot for the team, having lived in the area for a bit & also as the home of the most important dinosaur sculptures of all time.

24 If any, or hopefully all, of this is interesting. They you might want to know that c. 6 months from now I'll have a book about all this and much more, written with, and illustrated by @markwitton.bsky.social. It's available for preorder now in all the usual places online.

Thanks for reading.

Happy 99th birthday to the man who gave voice to the wild. 🎉

Sir David Attenborough, thank you for a lifetime dedicated to the natural world, and for sharing its story with wisdom, wonder, and grace.

You've inspired generations to fall in love with nature.
This photograph captures Sir David Attenborough seated outdoors on the rugged terrain of Skomer Island. Behind him, the ocean and coastal cliffs form a scenic backdrop under a clear sky. Sir David, dressed in a khaki jacket and light trousers, looks towards the camera with a gentle expression, exuding a sense of warmth, calm, and wisdom. Around him, puffins can be seen flying and perched on the rocky ground, illuminated in rays of golden sunlight as the sun sets behind the cliffs.

This is brilliant from Rich Grenyer on the Dire Wolf hype: "It’s like claiming to have brought Napoleon back from the dead by asking a short French man to wear his hat"
ox.ac.uk University of Oxford @ox.ac.uk · Apr 15
'What’s the problem? Well, pretty much everything. These aren’t species returned from extinction.'

@oxfordgeography.bsky.social's Dr Richard Grenyer argues that extinction is, for the time being, a symptom of our global economic system ⬇️
Why ‘de-extinct’ dire wolves are a Trojan horse to hide humanity’s destruction of nature
Extinction is, for the time being, forever – and a symptom of our global economic system.

Eastern Gray Squirrel trotting down the nature trail. These squirrels have a strong preference for staying around their primary nest tree and typically don't roam more than 900 feet from this home range.

Ok, so this is (I think) a first for BSky... I'm going to try and produced a megathread on #PrehistoricPlanet, specifically season 2. Previous megathreads at BSky have not worked the way they should so I'm a bit cautious. But here we go, please be patient as these take an age to put together....
