Incredibly lucky to have spotted this, right near the edge of the bank among the pebbles were these brook lamprey (Lampetra planeri) building a nest and spawning. These animals are protected and require special permits to handle, after taking this video I left them in peace.

Given how we know how AI generated images scrape and steal art from artists, as well as the environmental impact of AI generated images. Its disappointing seeing it in a place focused on conservation. I know several artists that would have been happy to participate in this.

(1/2) went to @DublinZoo to check out the zoorassic trail! The stautes are great fun and loved the pterosaur on the roof! But I am disappointed with how they have used AI generated images in the signage (see my reply to this)

Today's #ArtBoost is for Ireland-based Michael English, aka @ScienceSkink, who produces phenomenal images of a range of #animals living and extinct. I love his #birds, #Spinosaurus, #snakes, #pterosaurs! He's on redbubble at redbubble.com/people/archosa…

@TetZoo Thank you so much! I'm absolutely flattered by those kind words! ☺️☺️☺️

Lil teaser 👀

I'll be posting far less often here so look over there

*cough cough*

Oh look I did a thing! This Edmontosaurus has seen better days

@ruadhribrennan @JedTaylorArtist These are gorgeous!!!

New Deinonychus models by @JedTaylorArtist and myself all found good homes today at #TetZooCon.

@ruadhribrennan We're well overdue a catchup! 😁

@ScienceSkink Amazing! We’re due another field trip btw! We’ll have to wait a decade for the Dead Zoo but maybe we can break into the TCD zoological museum sometime ;) :D

Omg 😍 I saw a Pelagornis mount at the Naturhistorisk museum in Oslo, and what an impressive bird!

@ausar_the I also wonder how chameleons process their visual information

I understand that we have very unique fields of vision among animals, but at the same time I can't really wrap my head around what other animals would see. I'm biased, as you'd probably expect.

The science is in! Long grass and ivy in gardens significantly increase the number and variety of butterflies present sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Made a new sculpture, an Emperor Newt!

@Primal_Creation Thanks!

@ScienceSkink Oooh I really like the coloration!
