Nanuqsaurus wandering around in the snow. Very floofy.

I love dinosaurs as much as robots. It is very funny to me when ppl freak out about their childhood icons having feathers maybe.

But it is actually more boring if they are all just like Hollywood imagined.

i think we need a series of documentaries for people who ALREADY know a bunch about the topic. like i 100% love the ones like “our planet” that make science accessible and interesting, but they have to take 30 minutes to explain what evolution is. i want some that ARENT afraid to be jargony, that get into the real specifics. scientific papers are great but i think we deserve some fun cinematic netflix-david-attenborough-morgan-freeman documentaries please and thank you

Unlike other birds, penguins do not have hollow bones. their dense bones help them dive deeper.

what exactly is a penguin and why can't they fly?

A penguin is a kind of insect and they cannot fly because each penguin is at birth issued with a tiny anvil.

YAYYYY!!! PLEASE WELCOME A NEW MEMBER OF THE FAMILY, DR. PEPPER!!!

I keep seeing the "chat is a fourth person pronoun" post and it's getting increasingly hard to avoid starting discourse in the notes of it. chat I don't think they know what these linguistics terms they're using mean

btw the green on the aromantic flag stands for radium and mad science . hope this helps!

This is mesmerizing

They are surviving

I was born in the wrong generation

holy SHIT please read the whole thread and many more of these images right here, this artist put together an updated Opabinia reconstruction where every single one of these minute details (except coloration, obviously) are fully sourced making this most likely the first depiction factoring in 100% of current knowledge about it. Even I didn’t know it had little feet like a velvet worm and could have walked around on them! I never knew exactly how the trunk is oriented or how many “teeth” it is! I especially didn’t know the mouth was that weird! And I kind of assumed this since it’s a lobopod and all, but the whole animal was soft and squishy except for the eyes and the teeth. It did not have armor plates or a jointed exoskeleton like a lot of people portray. This also means all five of the eyes would have been able to bend and look around independently! The eye structure in fossils also indicates that they would have PSEUDOPUPILS! That’s the pupil-like dot in the eyes of insects like mantises!

STUPID anomalocarises

I’m past my penguin arc and my linguistics arc, I’m in my paleontology arc now
