🎣 Monographie der Medusen
Jena: G. Fischer, 1879-1881.

[Source]

Historical scientific illustration of the jellyfish Desmonema from "Monographie der Medusen" (Jena, 1879-1881). The image shows four detailed views: a large, bell-shaped jellyfish with numerous long, flowing tentacles extending downward; a top-down view of the bell revealing internal structures and radial symmetry; and two cross-sectional diagrams highlighting intricate anatomical features with labeled parts. Rendered in light brown and blue-gray tones, the illustration emphasizes the jellyfish's complex tentacle arrangement, delicate undulating bell margin, and internal organ systems typical of the Discomedusae group. The drawing is finely detailed for scientific study and identification.

Another striped loss.
The thylacine or Tasmanian wolf/tiger is a marsupial that inhabited Australia and Tasmania. It was finally exterminated in the first half of the 20th century.

I had a dream I had two nephews named Michael and Henry. I went to an amusement park with them and tried to keep them safe in all the scary rides because they were still so young.

Anyway this is what they looked like:

An MS paint drawing of a green caterpillar named Michael and a white pill named Henry.

Nova pesquisa com tudo o que você queria saber sobre os dinocefálios, os "cabeças-terríveis" que viveram no Brasil muito antes dos dinossauros. Alguns deles eram carnívoros e tinham o tamanho de um urso. 1/2

This one is for me.

I had AJ since 2009 (he was a dog the first time I drew him) and during my lowest lows he is always in the back of my head to remind me I have to keep going
