It's Black Skimmer baby season so will be posting a few of those. This set of 3 is a baby skimmer cuddling up with a parent. Please check out all 3. I think the last one may be my favorite.

There's little information on ictalurids at 66 Ma. A few scrappy fossils from the Cretaceous and molecular phylogenies showing all the living species descended from a single ancestor that survived the cataclysm.

In 1993, fisherman Lyle Dyslin pulled up a rather strange catfish. It had a flat head, a flat tail, a dog-like face and almost feet-like fins. After taking a photograph, he threw the fish back into the lake. Theories on what it was range from a long extinct species to a mutation

Praearcturus gigas, a giant (>70cm) stem-scorpion from the early Devonian Britain. Frankly: I just shocked no one try to draw this based on new reconstruction.
It bears flap-like structures along the mesosoma, and could be amphibious. Than what if they can swim?

Nobody talks about how freaking flying squirrels are built to be gliders with modified enlarged “little” fingers, unlike the marsupial gliders and colugos, which both have whole hands on the sides

Thoughts and comments about #SurvivingEarth episode 1, a🧵
The best stuff:
* Animal reconstructions are wonderful! With rare exceptions (lizard-like scales and colors on the anomodont Suminia, which more likely had similar skin to their cousins the dicynodonts), they were great.
