@ApexPredator227 @AndrejSpiridon4 @VelizarSim This is not Velizar's work, it is AI sewage. The bear has 7 claws on one of its paws and two pairs of upper canine teeth.

A cave lion successfully brigs down a cave bear and is about to land the killing bite to the bears neck.
Artist is unknown atm, pls tag em in the comments if u know who it is.

"Needlessly wordy". It is one word, a name.
TierZoo@TierZoo
100% the right call. Scientific names really should only be used in academic settings, as they're needlessly wordy and subject to change as scientists debate and reassign taxonomic placements. They're also just not how people talk about extant animals. Imagine a documentary about Costa Rica's jungles being like "and here we have Dendrobates auratus" instead of "poison dart frog".

Received the Ceratopsian skull magnets (19 pcs) from Scaled Beast @ruadhribrennan as an early b-day present for myself.

Received my copy of Mesozoic Art II. It is a genuine honor to have my work be included with so many other talented paleo artists.
Darren Naish@TetZoo
Our 25 contributing artists have started to receive their personal copies of #MesozoicArtII, the huge and spectacular new #palaeoart-themed @BloomsburyBooks book by myself and @sharkbitesteve. Truly the ultimate must-have if you're interested in representations of ancient life :)

@TetZoo Here is a couple more filmed attacks involving Niles: One individual croc repeatedly attacking elephants

A big Saltwater croc has been filmed attacking a fully adult Asian elephant (albeit a Bornean dwarf one). New at Tetrapod Zoology: Crocodiles Attack Elephants Then, Now, and Still ... tetzoo.com/blog/2025/8/7/… #elephants #mammals #animals

@astrapionte I couldn't find any right now, just limb bone photos. I think I have seen skull photos somewhere before not sure where.
English
@Orribec Do u know of any skull pics? I can only really find literature on the bird.
English
Working on a piece. Not sure what working title to give it, tho.
Set about 37 KYA in what today is the Everglades National Park, two grumbling Eremotheriums embrace each other in a courting interaction.

@astrapionte Just a note on the storks: Wood Stork (Mycteria americana) likely didn't enter North America until after the Pleistocene. However, the extinct Mycteria wetmorei did and would be a suitable replacement here. It just has a straighter beak than modern Wood Stork.
English
Give me your thoughts.
Also, some additional species here are:
Smooth Softshell Turtle, Wood Storks, Glyptotherium sp. and some others that I wanna squeeze in somehow lol.

@DanPalaeon1 There are numerous crab species that routinely walk and/or run on 6 legs. The paper does mention crabs with raised paddle-shaped rear legs and the similarity of their tracks with these fossil tracks, but then seemingly glosses over this most likely (imo) track-maker.
English
Forgive me for being wild and crazy and speculative, but maybe this was just a crab that was missing a couple legs (or just not using a few legs at this time for some reason) - maybe this is a much wilder and crazy opinion than it being a gigantic hexapod larger than any known.
English
For those wanting to know a little more about the tracks, they're made by a hexapod (or at least, an animal with 6 legs that happened to be touching the ground at that time), and the animal was travelling laterally, like a crab.

Even a sabercat is creeped out by a 1 m long hellgrammite in Miocene Spain :B Inspired by a 2023 paper that describes "Aenigmatipodus", a mysterious ichnofossil apparently left by a huge arthropod. The idea of it being a hellgrammite is mine- the press went with "giant cockroach"
English
@Riamus01 @ausar_the Hall Train continued to do some great stop-motion into the late 90's. I had for a long time assumed it was 'go-motion', but it was not. Instead it incorporated a motion-smoothing software they developed (screenshot of a Hall Train youtube comment below).
English
@ausar_the They were making this before JP came out & it released after JP. I believe this is the last time we had media with stop motion dinosaurs before all documentaries and movies transitioned onto CGI.

Of my 4 most-liked posts this image is 3 of them.

Artists, show me your most popular piece ✏️
English
@ausar_the @FabioAleRomero Yes, I instantly associate it with a puppet lumbering around cypress swamps.
English
@FabioAleRomero I remember that from some documentaries featuring Hall Train’s dinosaurs. Honestly, I’m SUPER fond of that roar.
English
You know rewatching through WWD2025 I did notice that they reused this stock sound that probably was among the most common roar for late 90s/early 2000s paleodocs, and seems was not used ever since
English
@Emily_Art I just skimmed through the original script for the film and it is notably different to the final film as it only features Allosaurus ("the most vicious animal of the ancient world"). Also no Agathaumas and the Triceratops loses to the Allosaurus.
English
@Orribec I was trying to figure it out based on eyebrows, but yeah the closeup puppets are so different from the zoomed out ones.
English
I hate these overviews, it's so wrong yet says stuff so confidently.
English
@Emily_Art Yep its confusing since there is multiple models used for each and they are all rather similar (3 fingers on all as well).
English
@Orribec Ah thanks! I know it gets extra confusing since they were considered not very distinct back then but once I do this speedpaint I do want to label it correctly lol.
English
@Emily_Art ...arrives and kills Agathaumas and a Pteranodon, another ALLOSAURUS knocked Bronto off the cliff, and lastly T rex attacks a BRACHIOSAURUS during the volcanic eruption scene. Also only Allosaurus is actually named in the film's intertitles.
English
@Emily_Art I justed skimmed the movie (full thing is on yt) and paid attention to the details of which models are actually being shown doing what. Allo and Rex fights in order: Allosaurus kills Trachodon, Allo fights Triceratops and it driven off, Allo is killed by Agathaumas, T rex ....
