Just like the coelacanth, I'm back and better than ever… the restock kickstarter campaign for my lgbt dinosaur pins is now live!

And what's this? Could it be? Are some new critters joining the crew? 👀

I've had a lot of folks ask when these are coming back, so here's your answer; it's RIGHT NOW! But only if we can get enough support to fund that steep upfront cost

Will you be the one to help resurrect these colorful critters? 🦖

Link to the campaign here!

Prehistoric Planet is queer rep fight me

Made this little pan themed parasaurolophus for my friend

Megatherium known as the giant ground sloth or the megathere is an extinct genus of ground sloth which lived throughout South America from the Pliocene to Pleistocene some 5 million to 12,000 years ago. The first known remains of Megatherium consisting of a mostly complete skeleton were discovered in 1788 by Manuel Torres, on the bank of the Luján River in Argentina. The fossil was shipped to Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales in Madrid the following year, where it remains. It was reassembled by museum employee Juan Bautista Bru in 1795 and subsequently described by Georges Cuvier in 1796. Cuvier assigned the fossil the scientific name Megatherium americanum from the Greek méga 'great' and theríon 'beast' and americanum being a reference to the Americas. In the centuries to follow dozens of well preserved specimens have been recovered representing some 8 species considered valid: M.‭ ‬americanum‭,‭ ‬M.‭ ‬altiplanicum,‭ ‬M.‭ ‬gallardoi,‭ ‬M.‭ ‬istilarti,‭ ‬M.‭ ‬medinae,‭ ‬M.‭ ‬parodii,‭ and ‬M.‭ ‬sundti which are separated into the two sub-genuses of Megatherium and Pseudomegatherium. With the largest species reaching some 20ft (6m) in length, 7ft (2.1m) tall when on all fours, and 8,400 to 10,100lbs (3,810 to 4580kgs) in weight, megatherium surpassed most modern elephants in size making it not only one of the largest xenathrans but one of the largest mammals known to have ever existed. Megatherium had a robust skeleton with a large pelvic girdle and a broad muscular tail. Its large size enabled it to feed at heights unreachable by other contemporary herbivores. Rising on its powerful hind legs and using its tail to form a tripod, Megatherium could support its massive body weight while using the curved claws on its long forelegs to pull down branches. These large animals likely lived in small groups feeding during the day before spending there nights resting inside of caves and large burrows the animals likely dug using there massive claws. Megatherium became extinct around 12,000 years ago during the Quaternary extinction event, which also claimed most other large mammals throughout the world. The extinction coincides with the settlement of the Americas, and multiple kill sites where M. americanum was slaughtered and butchered, suggesting that human hunting helped caused the sloths extinction.

Prehistoric Pride! 🦖🏳️‍🌈

I made all five Pride Flags in Prehistoric Kingdom!

Nothing makes me angrier than when eugenicists invoke Darwinian evolution to justify their toxic ideology. Darwinian ‘strength’ is applied on the species level, not the individual level. Survival of the Fittest refers to which species can best make use of their traits and the environment around them. There is no such thing as a ‘fittest individual.’

Because of this, our propensity to take care of the differently abled is one of humanity’s greatest evolutionary strengths.

Even in the Stone Age, homonin species differentiated themselves form other animals primarily because people with conditions that would be a death sentence to most other species (blindness, deafness, being born with limb deformities etc.) were adequately cared for and lived to reach adulthood and procreate.

As much as people like to paint compassion for the disabled as a modern thing, it is baked into the blood of our species. The only thing that has truly changed with technology is the sheer number of conditions that we now have the ability to treat and accommodate.

The only thing that truly counts as ‘strength’ in a Darwinian sense is how many members of a species can live to adulthood. The fact that we humans have the ability to nurture and care for individuals who would be doomed in most of the rest of the animal kingdom makes us one of the strongest species of all.

it’s national dino day!! >:]

update (this post has been in queue): apparently it’s dinosaur MONTH now!! happy dinosaur AND pride month!! >:]

Am I slightly pushing it by posting the Therizinosaurus twice in a week? Yes, but now it’s pride month, so the fact that I just remembered I had this unreleased design ready to go is very timely.

Absolutely not as seen on Prehistoric Planet, though.

REDBUBBLE LINK NOW WORKING

Since it is now Pride Month and everyone’s riding the hype of Prehistoric Planet, time to indulge in both a public reminder that I draw dinosaurs AND a celebration of pride with a Rainbow Giganotosaurus!

A “Gi-gay-notosaurus,” if you will
