A few reasons- wasn't trained in sculpture from the age of eight by my sculptor father. Did not have the patronage of the extravagantly wealthy Borghese family from a young age. Bernini was clearly absolutely exceptional but his circumstances were also very favourable

This is probably THE weirdest snake deformity I've ever seen. This guy is from a breeder in the Netherlands. He was dead inside the egg. It gets me how everything looks perfect. The scales, and even the umbilical cord looks so normal. But..... not

While he was in his 30's he also ordered a servant to take a razor and slash the face of a (married) lover of his after she had an affair with his brother. Anyway he was exonerated by the pope and she was jailed for adultery. Not trying to cancel Bernini but- context

Some science! Tadpoles of the scarlet-sided pobblebonk can survive in naturally acidic waters around the same pH as stomach acid - but how? Our research in @J_Exp_Biol shows that environmental calcium and adaptations to calcium transport in the gills may play a role.

SURPRISE! Dunkies are ready. I started work on this model well before the recent papers, so here we have the new "Chunkleosteus" and my original more conservative version (which as far as I can tell, is not ruled out at this point). Best of luck!
