Another interesting fish from the Kem Kem - Bawitius! This is a 3m-long bichir, a group of fish I wasn't familiar with until starting this piece. Today, members of this group don't get more than a meter in length, and are apparently popular in aquariums!

So many of these “nature” accounts are just AI slop generators. Another one here to block.

Could I ask you to please take a moment to sign and share this. Education matters, and needs to be fought for.
Thank you.

A really fascinating study from @palaeostephan.bsky.social and his students at Birmingham University.
Turns out the pointy, bitey ends of dinosaurs are more complex and nuanced than you might have expected!
Why such a long face? In our new paper, we quantified dinosaur skull geometry and proportions and tested their functional impact. www.cell.com/iscience/ful...

It’s that time of year again.
This year my charity sketch sale is exclusive to BlueSky. I’ve got a smaller following here than on other social media channels, so I hope this works out! More details in the alt text.
I’ll be posting the first sketch this evening at 9pm (GMT). See you there?

The hard work in Tai Po has just began, and sadly, more bodies are still being pulled out of rubble. So any additional donations are greatly appreciated.

I’ve only just seen this, or would have reposted much sooner. One of the finest palaeoartists (and finest humans) out there is doing something fantastic for an urgent cause. Please support this if you can - all the links are in Natalia’s thread.
Doodles for Hong Kong 🇭🇰

In response to the tragic Tai Po fire, I'm doing charity commissions. Anyone who puts over £25/250HKD into "Feeding Hong Kong" or Hong Kong SPCA can request a coloured doodle of any prehistoric animal 🙏
