Inspired by John Gurche's famous Barosaurus vs Allosaurus, and by today's weather... except its Prodeinotherium vs Megistotherium, a beast that may have been able to bring down rhinos and proboscideans on its own, a most properest creature fr 😌

Xenosmilus hodsonae feeding on Platygonus. Tooth marks on the fossil peccary bones show that sabertooths efficiently defleshed their kills. One of many new illustrations I created for the exhibition "Dientes de Sable".

It was really exciting to make my humble contribution to the making of this show. Now I am as eager as anyone else to see the final result! Counting the days until it airs!

Spots or not? Today's pumas have spots when they are cubs, and usually lose them in adulthood. Jaguarundi don´t have spots at all. What about Miracinonyx? Alas, it is one of many things we do not know about this extinct cat. What do YOU think? :B

[The Anatomical Record @AnatRecord]

How do we study jaw muscles in rare or extinct carnivorans? 🦁 Using CT scans to link masticatory muscle attachments to muscle force (PCSA) allows researchers to infer muscle data from museum specimens & gives insights into masticatory evolution

@HodariNundu has done it again! the massive and extinct brown bear (Ursus arctos priscus) yet another Ice Age heavyweight among the Pleistocene bears..

[Hodari Shadowalker ❄️🐆 @HodariNundu]

Even cave hyenas prefer to scram when a giant bear (Ursus arctos priscus/taubachensis) invites itself to dinner. :B This was not a cave bear, but a giant, highly carnivorous brown bear that may have weighed up to 1,200 kg- one of the largest bears from the fossil record.

@mrinalfreestyle looks like the footage from a documentary!

[IsaacOWJ @isaacowj]

Cave Hyena and Cave Leopard back together after 20,000 years.

[Hodari Shadowalker ❄️🐆 @HodariNundu]

All in all, you had very healthy probabilities of being mauled or eaten in late Pleistocene Mexico :B

@HodariNundu @HodariNundu great job!

Amazing work by @mbejaranoweb Walking With Dinos.

[Manuel Bejarano @mbejaranoweb]

A few years ago, I started recreating this scene from Walking with Dinosaurs with my 3D model of the Tyrannosaurus rex. Since it’s now been 25 years since the release of the documentary, I took the opportunity to finish the animation 🦖

Hello #PortfolioDay!
I make reconstructions of extinct animals.

Harpoceras faces the direction of a juvenile Thalattosuchian (marine crocodylomorph), away from its blind spot. The scar on its shell shows it narrowly survived such an attack in the past

At an estimated almost 190 kg, the colossal cheetah Acinonyx pleistocaenicus would be over twice as heavy as a modern cheetah (or as yours truly), and taller than a lion or tiger owing to its long legs. It might just be the largest true feline known from the fossil record!
