Hello all!
I go by sly, and I have come to the landscape of Twitter as a fellow enthusiast of spec evo, palaeontology, nature in general, and to shitpost. I am an artist, an enthusiast, and a little silly. So don’t forget to press subscribe and hit that notification bell!
I feel like if Azdarchids were alive today, we would probably give them like ankle bracelets so we can track them. When they are walking we can close off roads for them to cross, and tell towns and villages to lock their doors and keep the kids inside.
Americans are like the equivalent of island birds that have become stupid in the absence of predator. they have made their lives so comfortable, that they Will run towards danger without being able to recognise it as such.
This is absolutely insane.
A group of tourists in Yellowstone was spotted exiting their cars and sprinting towards a mama bear and her two cubs.
One of the tourists had a child in his arms.
Every zoologist has heard about Bergman‘s law, where animals usually get smaller or larger depending on how warm their environment is.
However few have heard of coles law, which is just thinly sliced cabbage as a side dish.

Absolutely, I hate it when actors get typecast, because it’s a positive feedback loop that results in you only ever been able to perform in the one way.
Iwi from the 2017 king are still the best depiction of a native people for skull Island. They have unique dress wear, body paint, architecture, language. they are empathetic, taking in Hank and Gunpei on a strange island full of danger.
lizard loaches are apparently a very under studied fish, they are capable of surviving out of water for good periods of time, and can climb up roots and reeds, perching (ha fish pun) with their fins, hugging the branch.

The real mask of an artist is if their work can be enjoyed for generations, with the wonder and splendour that they evoke outliving the Artist themselves.
“ dinosaurs were better animals.”
“ mammals are better animals.”
Both mammals and dinosaurs have traits that gave them an edge in their environment that neither the other possess, however neither one is better than the other.
Both are fantastic in unique ways.
I fucking hate science because first we found out dinosaurs have feathers which is LAME and since then it's just been a constant stream of party-pooping and I am tired of it
Tigars have been reported to hunt all four of these things. dinosaurs are not dragons, they cannot magically win through the power of hollow bones and a good respiratory system, Utah raptor is going to struggle with a tiger, I don’t care how big the 2 retractable claws are.
Grazing on South America is open grasslands, diverse descendants of porcupines have grown massive in size. Although the heavily armoured Glyptodon like pebble Pines are more famous, there basil cousins are still formidable heavy and aggressive mammals.

Calling somebody polyphobic because they don’t want to be in a polyamorous relationship with you is as ridiculous as saying somebody is homophobic because they don’t want you to top them.
Madagascar is famous for it’s biological oddities, one of which being A primate that converged with woodpeckers. However, this isn’t the only instant where mammals have mimicked birds.
Falanouc are the kiwis of Madagascar, eating earthworms and small invertebrates at night.
“ less oxygen“ if there is one thing I hate about how we talk about the carboniferous in Palio media, it is the misconception that more oxygen equals larger size, not just in there inefficient respiratory having arthropods, but everything.
You know what, south-east Asian rainforest are severely underrated. There are these wicked awesome animals most people don’t know about, or get the attention that say Amazon or Congo rainforest animals get.
The USA sends millions of dollars every year to foreign countries like Israel to commit warcrimes meanwhile the people of its own country have to work well into their golden years to even survive. It is downright sad.
As somebody who is fairly well versed in an understanding of geology my thoughts on expanding earth theory go a little like this…
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH AHAHAHAHAH
Colossal armadillos come from three banded armadillos, they stil role up into a ball in spite of their size. However, because of this they are often mistaken by others as features of the landscape rather than residents of it

For those unaware, haggis it’s not just the name of the food, but it also refers to the animal in which comes from. Haggis are small mamals found in parts of Scotland and Scandinavia, they are part of Eulipotyphla, who’s closest relatives is the hedgehogs & moonrats.
Natural selection and how it sometimes means the lesser of two evils.
For example fish like shade, something that Black heron use to their advantage, but if fish started to avoid shaded areas because of these birds, they’d be at risk from predation by any number of other birds.
Otodus Megalodon is now banned from any spec-projects.
This ban does not include the Meg from the movie The Meg 2 which will be in theaters august 4th 3023.
Century snakes can live so long due to them possessing negligible senescence. Enzymes like telomerase Restore the damaged ends of chromosomes after every duplication. This lets many live up to 500 years or more, but much like lobsters, death comes in their own skin.
If you fell for this? That’s your fault, not anybody else’s. I don’t think you could design an organism that is as ridiculous but maintains enough anatomical realism. Just like with Snouters, sussocaris Was a little bit of fun to play on the community. It was a joke.

That woman is going to have the surprise of her life when that kid goes to uni, gets a taste of freedom, a taste of adult hood, and realises that The family they were born into might not necessarily be best for them, Cut ties and build a family of their own.
Registro impressionante de uma jaguatirica tentando predar um bicho-preguiça. Repare que a preguiça não é tão lenta assim para se defender, e suas 'garras' podem causar um estrago se acertar em cheio.
