This is actually paleoart because its based on actual scientific study that just came out :B

On a long oceanic voyage, Pteranodons keep in touch with biofluorescent tail tufts :B Inspired by the discovery of strange biofluorescent hairs on the feet of Mexican free-tailed bats which may be some sort of visual communication display, and by Pteranodon's curious tail rods

I guess I’m the wokest (and fattest?) paleoartist out there? :B

I know you're just messing around here but man wouldn't it be something if this really was a mating ritual for them? Kinda like how eagles lock talons and fall almost to the ground before breaking apart, but even more dramatic- they'd have to find their PERFECT OTHER HALF for the…

Brilliant minds think alike I guess XD I remembered gliding Stegosaurus, but not this... That being said... I can believe it more readily from Mirasaura XD

In before the newly discovered Mirasaura turns out to be a tandem glider :B Inspired by this awesome Longisquama relative and the old idea of the latter as a gliding or flying reptile (my first ever news or its existence was the chameleonlike one in 2000’s Dinosaur :B)

If Homo erectus was the first hominin to attempt travel by sea, did it perhaps encounter the wolverine shark? :B Said to have survived into the early Pleistocene, wolverine sharks may have grown as big as the biggest great whites! Thanks Mr. Copley for the inspiration :B

I coined the name Wolverine Shark for Hemipristis serra. See, it makes sense because its a huge weasel shark. Besides, in Spanish you say Tiburón Glotón which rhymes and denotes its great appetite. It’s just perfect! One day everyone will call it that one day. Mark me words. 😌

Dire wolf?

Evolutionary arms race

I forgive her for this because how often do you get to touch a dinosaur? :B Now, happily wearing the blood stained jacket when she herself warned the tyrannosaurs would track down the smell, yeah. And Roland is just as much to blame since he noticed and said nothing :B

Last night’s dream was about an old British lady who bought a whole hadrosaur skeleton, but she was under the impression it was alive and would treat it as a pet and drive it on a pickup across the English countryside so it would be familiar with the landscape and not get lost.

Apparently she was in a movie in the early Eocene? #lostmedia

Ok I give up. Which one is the insane Temnodontosaurus with the down-curved jaws that kinda looks like the god Set?

How does 2000’s Dinosaur have way better looking ceratopsids than anything in the Jurassic franchise? :B

Even a sabercat is creeped out by a 1 m long hellgrammite in Miocene Spain :B Inspired by a 2023 paper that describes "Aenigmatipodus", a mysterious ichnofossil apparently left by a huge arthropod. The idea of it being a hellgrammite is mine- the press went with "giant cockroach"

Heh. As if you could escape any of them running :B

Only until sauropods learned to harness all that UNLIMITED POWER!!!

Sometimes it's fun to go back to the classics :B There's no insane hypothesis going on here. Only the insanity of these creatures actually existing on Earth at one point. Pow, pow, mega-pow! :B
