Pleistocene World

Hi. I'm Bioengineering masters student and Quaternary Paleontology enthusiast. I do science communication on Instagram! Follow me there for detailed posts.

@l_psilocybe @Feranohere New Zealand megafauna, Caribbean Ground Sloths, Wrangel Island Mammoths, Malagasy Megafauna.

[Pleistocene World @proboscidean01]

@PPaleoartist I agree!

[Pleistocene World @proboscidean01]

@JoschuaKnuppe Because of the format of the new season, people won't be able to easily learn about Eremotherium, Megalonyx and Diabolotherium, or Glyptotherium and Doedicurus, or Propleopus. And they deserve the ability to learn more and have their curiosity satisfied.

@JoschuaKnuppe Tier Zoo is genuinely a terrible educator. One should never talk down to their audience.
And people want to learn more about these extinct animals after watching a documentary, I know I looked a up a bunch of animals during the first season. Knowing the genus name helps in that.

@Prehistorica_CM @ornithopsis Hi, perhaps I'm really late on this but here's a paper that mentions and has figures of the thing you're looking for.

@ausar_the @TojiiFCB There's also two mandibles and a rib. The rib and one of the mandibles is from Tibet, the other mandible from Taiwan.

@Paleonyx_Art @AllosaurusJP One bone?

[Pleistocene World @proboscidean01]

@astrapionte Probably like this.

Especially for @schilthuizen, a picture of the penis of a Chaetophractus villosus, the 'Large Hairy Armadillo'! Photographed in the Italian @ParcoNaturaViva. Highlight of the day! 🍆

@crocutamatata @TheKnightofS Actually a lot of recent papers have started to reclassify them as nimravids.

[Pleistocene World @proboscidean01]

@phoexalt47 @ausar_the Perhaps you're talking about this thesis?

@j_stocky I thought I'd dreamed this one haha. Glad to know it actually exists

[Pleistocene World @proboscidean01]

@ausar_the The evidence isn't strong enough either way in my opinion. Though I wonder if being more robust than elephants would make them more cold tolerant. Another problem is that we don't have any hair evidence for herbivores in that size range that live in similar climates.

[Pleistocene World @proboscidean01]

@PRECISETHF That being said, I think a review of all known Mammoth trunks is necessary to finalize whether it's actually a thing.

[Pleistocene World @proboscidean01]

@PRECISETHF All the images of the Maly Lyakhovsky Mammoth's trunk are at this weird angle where it's hard to tell if the structure is present. A ventral view of the trunk would be nice.

[Pleistocene World @proboscidean01]

@denistyrant @ausar_the Tyrannosauridae

[Pleistocene World @proboscidean01]

@Beast_SculptKit @EonsShow That looks amazing but a small nitpick. It lacks a transverse expansion in the distal part of the trunk that is known on the basis of many preserved Mammoth specimens.

[Pleistocene World @proboscidean01]

@21Fede_ Ceratosuchops inferodios

[Pleistocene World @proboscidean01]

@crocutamatata *3. Orcinus ater, Orcinus rectipinnus and Orcinus orca

[Pleistocene World @proboscidean01]

@omegafreelancer Isn't Pachyrhinosaurus thought to be a descendent of Styracosaurus? Makes it kinda funny in my opinion.
