In the depths of prehistoric Colombia, an enormous snake once ruled the land and waters alike. Titanoboa was a monstruous serpent which even today strikes fear into the hearts of modern-day adventurers.

A titan amongst snakes, fossil records from Colombia have revealed its immense size, estimated at up to 49 feet (15 meters!). Roaming the Earth during the Paleocene epoch about 60 million years ago, its remains have only been uncovered in Colombia. Through meticulous study and scientific ingenuity, scientists reconstructed a life-size model of Titanoboa which brought the ancient monster to life.

They turned him into a shaboingboing

Edit: I keep seeing this photo being reposted in places outside of Tumblr, and it surprises me every time. By the way, a "shaboingboing" is a hotdog. (Also, please stop cropping my name out of the photo! ;w; My posts are kewl!)

[image id: a four-page comic. it is titled "immortality” after the poem by clare harner (more popularly known as “do not stand at my grave and weep”). the first page shows paleontologists digging up fossils at a dig. it reads, “do not stand at my grave and weep. i am not there. i do not sleep.” page two features several prehistoric creatures living in the wild. not featured but notable, each have modern descendants: horses, cetaceans, horsetail plants, and crocodilians. it reads, “i am a thousand winds that blow. i am the diamond glints on snow. i am the sunlight on ripened grain. i am the gentle autumn rain.” the third page shows archaeopteryx in the treetops and the skies, then a modern museum-goer reading the placard on a fossil display. it reads, “when you awaken in the morning’s hush, i am the swift uplifting rush, of quiet birds in circled flight. i am the soft stars that shine at night. do not stand at my grave and cry.” the fourth page shows a chicken in a field. it reads, “i am not there. i did not die” / end id]

a comic i made in about 15 hours for my school’s comic anthology. the theme was “evolution”

2,300-Year-Old Plush Bird from the Altai Mountains of Siberia (c.400-300 BCE): crafted with a felt body and reindeer-fur stuffing, all of which remains intact

This artifact was sealed within the frozen barrows of Pazyryk, Siberia, for more than two millennia, where a unique microclimate enabled it to be preserved. The permafrost ice lense formation that runs below the barrows provided an insulating layer, preventing the soil from heating during the summer and allowing it to quickly freeze during the winter; these conditions produced a separate microclimate within the stone walls of the barrows themselves, thereby aiding in the preservation of the artifacts inside.

This is just one of the many well-preserved artifacts that have been found at Pazyryk. These artifacts are attributed to the Scythian/Altaic cultures.

Currently housed at the Hermitage Museum.

Shuvuuia, a dinosaur typically most active at night, is fooled into getting up early by a total solar eclipse.

Prehistoric Planet finally gives us the True Rival to the Tyrant Lizard King and it's NOT a Dinosaur.

I love baby ichthyosaur fossils because you can see that the eye took up like 95% of their head

I’m pretty confident they must’ve held the title of cutest baby animal on planet Earth for several million years looking like this

whenever i can't picture dinosaurs existing i just humble myself by looking at birds alive today. what the actual fuck is that thing

A gaggle of Ammonoids. Can you name them all?

I used a piece of one of my favourite background fabrics to make the sail for this tiny dimetrodon!
