@Riamus01 Would Haast's eagle be comparable?

A new Spinosaurus species uncovered in northern Niger appears to have been a wading predator of fish like its close relatives, but it lived as many as 1000 kilometers inland from the Tethys Sea. The fossil find may represent a third phase of evolution for this group of massive, fish-eating dinosaurs.

I am happy to announce the publication of my dissertation research. What started originally as a Masters turned into 6 years and a Doctorate worth of effort and I am thankful to have worked with such a wonderful team and amazing mentors to finish it.

@NagashReturns You forgot the best one:

It is our hope that will damn us

In the spires and the slums, our people sing of victory.

Victory, as the galaxy burns.

Victory, as the Imperium rots around us.

Victory, as humanity rages against the dying of the light.

Victory...

There is no doubt that WWD2025 is ONE OF (?) THE MOST scientifically-informed paleo docuseries of all time.
Let's dive straight in! (1/?)

TIME's new cover: The dire wolf is back after over 10,000 years. Here's what that means for other extinct species https://t.co/LQtosdfiEf

[Colossal Biosciences® @colossal]

SOUND ON. You’re hearing the first howl of a dire wolf in over 10,000 years. Meet Romulus and Remus—the world’s first de-extinct animals, born on October 1, 2024.

The dire wolf has been extinct for over 10,000 years. These two wolves were brought back from extinction using genetic edits derived from a complete dire wolf genome, meticulously reconstructed by Colossal from ancient DNA found in fossils dating back 11,500 and 72,000 years. This moment marks not only a milestone for us as a company but also a leap forward for science, conservation, and humanity. From the beginning, our goal has been clear: “To revolutionize history and be the first company to use CRISPR technology successfully in the de-extinction of previously lost species.” By achieving this, we continue to push forward our broader mission on—accepting humanity’s duty to restore Earth to a healthier state.

But this isn’t just our moment—it’s one for science, our planet, and humankind. All of which we love and are passionate about. Now, close your eyes and listen to that howl once more. Think about what this means for all of us.
