day 5 and 6: funny triassic vegetarian marine reptile (lived around 240+ Ma)

once upon a time everyone thought it had zippery teeth (like the middle one), based on the first fossil found in 2014.. two years later they got more fossils and found it was just badly damaged (・∀・)

my take on a momma cave bear and her adorable cub (small boulder for scale)

@koalaXeth this is for u cause you said you liked bears :3
