HAH I FINISHED IT. Will have to get Real Pictures outside when the sun returns. I learned I need to use more strongly textured glass at that scale but overall this has been my smoothest sailing stained glass yet. Straight edges help a lot.

Remember my knife wielding sketchbook birds? Well they've gotten a fine slap of color and are now available as a sticker sheet, individual stickers, & shirts over on Redbubble!

If you buy the sticker sheet be sure to pick the MEDIUM size so the kiss cuts are far enough apart. Medium size sticker sheet makes for 8 bird stickers about 2" on the long side apiece; the large is roughly 8x3" stickers and so on. You can also get them individually or on a shirt if you like! Redbubble is my current solution for merch as A) I cannot afford to guess what's popular and B) cannot store the sheer variety of things that RB can make. Thankfully I've bought from them many times both my art and other artists and the quality is VERY nice. ALWAYS check the internet for RB coupons too; they do 20-30% off regularly. Here's one for 20% that works as of this tumblr post: 20ForYou-0223LW

30 Days of GW2 Challenge Day 1:

First (or oldest) and Newest Characters: Embers Brightecho and Lady Absinthe Woadtouch

Embers was my first ever character I made when I stepped into Tyria. Learning the game as a noob on a mesmer was challenge mode but totally worth it. Fun fact: I have not changed her face, nor mane or any other features at all since making her! Only her armor and spec has ever changed. Art featured is by a friend (Palaeosinensis @ Twitter) of one of Embers’ older looks before she became a Mirage. Newest character is technically me remaking an old character for the third and final time but as a different race, I think I’m finally sticking with this iteration. Lady Absinthe, my mad scientist supervillain norn.

Alpha Genix XL

Alpha Genix XL Ranging from national parks, wildlife sanctuaries, hen sanctuaries and nationwide parks, India caters to the style of the Golden Triangle wildlife lovers. Periyar Nationwide Park is without doubt one of the most visited destinations for wildlife tourism in this country. It has been a sizzling minute since WowWee let the Alive animals out of the zoo , however this specific White Alpha Genix XL Cub has only recently been loosed from its cage. Alpha Genix XL are believed to have advanced from a Alpha Genix XL like cat Panthera palaeosinensis whose remains have been found in China and Java. In numerous Chinese arts and martial arts, the Alpha Genix XL is depicted as an equal rival in the direction of the Chinese language dragon In Imperial China, a Alpha Genix XL usually represented the best army basic (or present day defense secretary), while the emperor and empress were represented by a dragon and phoenix , respectively. In addition, the Alpha Genix XL HAD has combat external gasoline tanks for longer mission flight occasions, an prolonged flight domain in which Spike and Hellfire anti-tank missiles will be fired, and digital communications for the modern digitised battlefield. Some folks may think that I am talking about Alpha Genix XL Woods. And at a time they when have been winning with their own "shit" tanks. In keeping with the government knowledge Periyar Wildlife Sanctuary is the house of forty nine species of mammals, 246 varieties of birds, 28 sorts of reptiles, 8 species of amphibians, 22 forms of fishes and 112 species of butterflies.

Panthera spelaea, also known as the Eurasian cave lion, European cave lion, or steppe lion,[1] is an extinct Panthera species that evolved in Europe probably after the third Cromerian interglacial stage, less than 600,000 years ago. Phylogenetic analysis of fossil bone samples revealed that it was highly distinct and genetically isolated from the modern lion (Panthera leo) occurring in Africa and Asia.[2] Analysis of morphological differences and mitochondrial data support the taxonomic recognition of Panthera spelaea as a distinct species that diverged from the lion about 1.9 million years ago.[3][4] The oldest known bone fragments were excavated in Yakutia and radiocarbon dated at least 62,400 years old. It became extinct about 13,000 years ago.[5]

Taxonomy

Several authors regarded Panthera spelaea as a subspecies of the modern lion and therefore Panthera leo spelaea.[6][7][8][2] However, results from morphological studies indicate that it is distinct in cranial and dental anatomy to justify specific status of Panthera spelaea.[9][10] Results of phylogenetic studies also support this assessment.[11][3][4]

In 2001, the subspecies P. spelaea vereshchagini was proposed for seven specimens found in Siberia and Yukon, which have smaller skulls and teeth than average member of P. spelaea.[12] Genetic analysis using ancient DNA provided no evidence for their distinct subspecific status; DNA signatures from P. spelaea from Europe and Alaska were indistinguishable, suggesting one large panmictic population.[3]

One author considered the cave lion to be more closely related to the tiger based on a comparison of skull shapes, and proposed the scientific name Panthera tigris spelaea.[13]

Evolution

Panthera spelaea evolved in the late Saalian glaciation or early Eemian from the earlier P. fossilis, which first appeared in Eurasia about 700,000 years ago.[2] P. spelaea bone fragments excavated in Poland were radiocarbon dated to between the early and late Weichselian glaciation, and are between 109,000 and 57,000 years old.[15] In Eurasia, it became extinct between 14,900 and 14,100 years ago, and survived in Beringia until 13,800 to 13,300 years ago as the Weichselian glaciation receded.[5]

Mitochondrial DNA sequence data from fossil lion remains show that the American lion represents a sister group of P. spelaea, and likely arose when an early P. spelaea population became isolated south of the Cordilleran Ice Sheet about 340,000 years ago.[3] The following cladogram shows the genetic relationship between P. spelaea and other pantherine cats.[4]

Felis catus

Neofelis nebulosa

Panthera tigris sondaica

Panthera tigris tigris

Panthera onca

Panthera uncia

Panthera pardus

Panthera pardus orientalis

Panthera leo leo

Panthera leo melanochaita

Panthera spelaea

Characteristics

P. spelaea is known from Paleolithic cave paintings, ivory carvings, and clay figurines. These archaeological artifacts indicate that it may have been featured in Paleolithic religious rituals.[16][17] A drawing in France's Chauvet cave, estimated to be 30,000 years old, depicts two cave lions walking together. The one in the foreground is slightly smaller than the one in the background, which has been drawn with a scrotum and without a mane.[18] This suggests male cave lions completely lacked manes, or had very small manes.[5]

Prior to its split from Panthera leo, cave lions were thought to have been one of the largest lion subspecies. The skeleton of an adult male found in 1985 near Siegsdorf in Germany had a shoulder height of around 1.2 m (3.9 ft) and a head-body length of 2.1 m (6.9 ft) without the tail, similar in size to large modern lions. The size of this male was exceeded by other specimens. This suggests, P. spelaea may have been over 10% larger than modern lions, but smaller than the earlier Panthera fossilis or the later American lion.[19] Like modern lions, females were smaller than males.[20]

In 2016, hair found near the Maly Anyuy River was identified as cave lion hair through DNA analysis. Comparison with hair of a modern lion revealed that cave lion hair was probably similar in colour as that of the modern lion, though slightly lighter. In addition, the cave lion is thought to have had a very thick and dense undercoat comprising closed and compressed yellowish-to-white wavy downy hair with a smaller mass of darker-coloured guard hairs, possibly an adaptation to the Ice Age climate.[21]

Distribution and habitat

P. spelaea formed a contiguous population from Europe to Alaska over the Bering land bridge.[22] It was widely distributed from the Iberian peninsula, Southeast Europe, Great Britain, Central Europe, the East European Plain, and across most of northern Eurasia into Canada and Alaska. The oldest known fossils were excavated in northeastern Yakutia and were radiocarbon dated at 62,400 years old. The youngest known fossils are dated 11,925 years old and originated near Fairbanks, Alaska.[5] Phalanx bones excavated in Spain's La Garma cave complex were radiocarbon dated to 14,300–14,000 years old.[23] In Slovakia, skull, femur and pelvis remains were excavated in ten Karst caves in hilly and montane areas at elevations from 240 to 1,133 m (787 to 3,717 ft).[24] In Yakutia's Khayrgas Cave, bones of P. spelaea were found together with remains of humans, wolf, reindeer, Pleistocene horse and fish in a layer dated 13,200–21,500 years old.[25] In 2008, a well-preserved mature cave lion specimen was unearthed near the Maly Anyuy River in Chukotka Autonomous Okrug in Russia, which still retained some clumps of hair.[26]

Discoveries

P. spelaea was first described by the German paleontologist Georg August Goldfuss in 1810 under the scientific name Felis spelaea. The first fossil lion skull was excavated in a cave in southern Germany, research suggests that it may date to the Würm glaciation [27][28][5][2].

In 2015, two frozen cave lion cubs, estimated to be between 25,000 and 55,000 years old, were discovered close to the Uyandina River in Yakutia, Siberia in permafrost.[29][30][31] Research results indicate that the cubs were likely barely a week old at the time of their deaths, as their milk teeth had not fully erupted. Further evidence shows the cubs were hidden at a den site until they were old enough to join the pride. Researchers think that the cubs were trapped and killed by a landslide, and that without air, the cubs were preserved in such good condition. A second expedition to the site where the cubs were found was planned for 2016, in hopes of finding either the remains of a third cub or possibly the cubs' mother.[32]

In 2017, another frozen specimen, thought to be a lion cub, was found in Yakutia on the banks of the Tirekhtyakh River (Russian: Тирехтях), a tributary of the Indigirka River. Named 'Boris',[33] this cat was believed to be slightly older than the 2015 cubs at the time of its death; it is estimated to have been around one and a half to two months.[34] In 2018, another preserved carcass of a cub was found in a location 15 m (49 ft) away. Named 'Spartak', it was considered to be around a month old when it died approximately 50,000 years ago, and presumed to be a sibling to Boris.[33]

Palaeobiology

P. spelaea inhabited open environment like mammoth steppe and boreal forest. Large amounts of bones belonging to P. spelaea were excavated in caves, where bones of cave hyena, cave bear and Paleolithic artefacts were also found.[36][37] It was most likely a solitary hunter.[38]

Isotopic analyses of bone collagen samples extracted from fossils indicate that cave bear cubs, reindeer and other cervids were prominent in the diet of cave lions. Later cave lions seem to have preyed foremost on reindeer, up to the brink of local extinction or extirpation of both species.[39] Other possible prey species were giant deer, red deer, musk ox, bison, young woolly rhino and young mammoth.[5] It likely competed for prey with the European Ice Age leopard (P. pardus spelaea).[40]
