While Carissa is the undisputed pin champion of the collective, the rest aren't bad either. This piece was designed by @jacobasweet depicting one of the apex predators of the ancient Americas... the Terror Bird. #terrorbird #ancientearth #paleozoic #paleopins #paleoart #paleolithic #phorusrhacidae #cenozoic #miocene #aviandinosaurs #prehistoricanimals #enamelpins #lapelpins (at Scribbles Art Collective) https://www.instagram.com/p/CiA_t9ZPAW-/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
Tras la desaparición de los dinosaurios, los fororracos (Phorusrhacidae) ocuparon el trono vacante de máximos depredadores en América del Sur. La nueva serie documental La vida en nuestro planeta (Life on our planet) de Netflix, que contó con el asesoramiento del científico argentino Federico Degrange, revela los secretos de estas mortales y enormes criaturas carnívoras que usaban sus picos como hachas o guillotinas para matar a sus presas.
The terror bird is a large flightless raptor that spawns in savannas and jungles and primarily hunts mid-sized mammals, they are mostly solitary but occasionally form groups to harass saber-tooth prides or to impress potential mates.
While they attack you on sight, terror birds can potentially be tamed by sneaking up on them and wrestling them into submission. Beware that if they manage to buck you off then you will immediately get mauled.
In real life, the terror birds were a family of birds (phorusrhacidae) closely related to the extant seriema, with the species in PrimalCraft being Kelenken guillermoi, one of the largest it lived 15 million years ago. Terror birds were the apex predators on south america during their time, although they shared this title with crocodilians and teratorns (close relatives of vultures and eagles).
An 8-million-year-old phorusrhacid trackway shows that terror birds, who were already noted for having a somewhat dromeosaur-like second toe (the same being true for seriemas), held it aloft, possibly for both pinning down prey and as an adaption for fast running.

A day in the life of Izzy Hands.
please read my gayass fanfiction. notes on the AU beneath the cut
Jack’s sister is named Avery and is three years older than him. She’s Deaf, went to a Deaf school, and their family uses ASL.
Izzy is the oldest of five. Ira is 3 years younger than him, Agnes is four years, Tace and Benjamin are five years. Izzy and Ira’s relationship is kind of tense, but the other three are in middle school so they’re fine, just not super close.
Didn’t mention this but Ed wants to be a surgeon. Izzy wants to be a surgical tech or a sterile processing tech or something so he can work with him, lol.
Izzy’s kind of a loner outside Ed and Jack, which is partially his fault because he can in fact be very grating to be around. He is friendly with the girls on the crew team, though.
On that note, for those of you who care about crew:
Izzy usually rows 3 seat, sometimes 5 and isn’t very good at the sport but he does hold a strong passion for it
Ed rows stroke 99% of the time bc of course he does. The other 1% he rows bow LOL. He’s really good and would probably get a scholarship for it.
Jack rows 7, but sometimes 5. He’s really good but not as good as Ed.
