![A paleoartwork of the legendary azhdarchid pterosaur Quetzalcoatlus.
It's been a long time coming since Quetzalcoatlus is my favorite pterosaur, and I thought of returning to the flying giraffe stork once again with a makeover this time.
[NOTE: Pterosaurs were not dinosaurs. They may look birds which are closely related to non-avian dinosaurs, but both share a common ancestor within the Archosauria family.]

In the Late Pleistocene, northwest of what is now Melbourne, a pair of Propleopus sit below a River Redgum tree after a day of foraging. One of them has caught a Bush Rat, and they will eat it together. Above them is a pair of Yellow Rosellas, waiting for the Propleopus to move so they can forage.

their horns feature striations consistent with being covered by a keratinous sheath; earlier paleoart often depicted them as being covered by skin, similar to the ossicones of giraffes, but modern work normally portrays them in the aforementioned manner

interestingly, arsinoitherium’s huge horns do not appear to have been a sexually dimorphic feature, meaning that they likely evolved for a purpose entirely separate from sexual selection

the closest living relatives of arsinoitherium are hyraxes, elephants, and sirenians; if the extinct desmostylians were afrotherians as has been proposed, they would be among arsinoitherium’s closest relatives as well
