a quiet night 🍃🦖
in the forests of late triassic argentina, dusk is approaching, and a male herrerasaurus is preparing to embark on a night-time hunt with his mate. at 6 metres long, his size wards off most rivals, though he still carries battle scars
comm by @ansh7163.bsky.social!

a bust of a herrerasaurus based on specimen PVSJ 53 against a forested backdrop. he is moderately feathered, and his colouration and patterning are reminiscent of a melanistic jaguar. his eyes are dark amber, and he has a visible scar on his face

I remember two years ago when someone on here told me that AI was advancing rapidly and that it would be replacing scientific knowledge. Many billions of dollars later it still can’t figure out how many fingers humans have.

So my buddy Carlota, who is taking over Dogskull Patch, has a group of feral cats to deal. She’s been trapping and neutering as possible, but one sweetheart named Big Daddy showed up on the porch limping. Some asshole shot him. She’s raising money for his amputation and care. gofund.me/3b6cf293e

Infections with what has become known as "Hatemold" (Jacare rowlii) are on the rise this year.
This parasitic black mold is attracted to individuals who fill their hearts with hatred towards fellow humans, weakening their immune system. It has spread through the TERF community, among other bigots.

A woman, her face completely covered with a crust of black mold. She is angrily shouting, a cloud of spores coming out from her mouth.

#Croctober Day 12
Probably among the most obscure recently extinct crocodilians is Aldabrachampsus, a small (up to 2.5 meter) long animal of uncertain placement with a pair of rounded squamosal horns that lived on the Seychelles around 100.000 years ago

An illustratoin of Aldabrachampsus by paleoartist Manusuchus. The illustration shows the animal as similar to modern dwarf crocodiles with a short, blunt snout, interlocking teeth, large bulging eyes but different in having large, rounded horns above the ears.

Clean! 🪶

Bandit, the little Senegal parrot, after a trip through the shower. His normally bright and puffy feathers are dark and matted down, giving him a skeletal appearance. He's not fully soaked because like most birds he is pretty waterproof. He has a happy eye as he actually loves a good bath.

“Kronosaurus, even in miniature form, are highly territorial and should not be kept with other members of their own kind due to the risk of fighting and injury. As long as they are well fed, Kronosaurus can be kept with other species if the tank is sufficiently large and...

“We HIGHLY recommend keeping Miniature Dunkleosteus in their own tank, or with larger animals. These miniature carnivores will almost always attempt to eat any tankmates that are smaller than themselves."

Populism was never the issue

The issue was calling far-right politics "populism" which was not only inaccurate but euphemised and legitimised them as a so-called alternative to the status (while they aim to take the worst of it and push it further)

Yes, I'll keep banging on about this

In the wake of a ceasefire, it’s important that those who can don’t stop talking about Palestinian liberation, a ceasefire is an acute and essential fix but doesn’t resolve the wider issue
