Rudolf Hima

Hello! I’m Rudolf, an illustrator and paleoartist. Some of you might have seen my paleoart on other platforms. My works are not the most accurate out there, but I do aim to improve over time. So to the more experienced paleoartists and paleontologists, feedbacks are welcome!

You can tell they wish this was true. Idky they're so sadistic about artists just because they have no talent

Vultures eat anthrax, botulism, rabies, and cholera for breakfast. Their stomach acid is among the most corrosive in the animal kingdom, with a pH around 1, low enough to dissolve the bones, hide, and pathogens of dead animals that would kill almost anything else. A vulture eating a diseased carcass isn't a vector for disease, it's a terminus. The disease chain ends in the vulture's gut, and that's pretty hardcore. When vulture populations crashed in India in the 1990s, rotting livestock carcasses sat where vultures used to clean them. Feral dogs and rats took over the cleanup, both of which actually do spread rabies. Researchers later linked the vulture collapse to roughly 500,000 deaths in India over the following decade. The same collapse is now underway in sub-Saharan Africa. Six of eleven African vulture species are threatened with extinction, primarily from poisoned poaching baits. The animals nobody finds cute are doing more public health work than most of the species we actively protect.

Planting trees is certainly good. But it doesn't create a forest. Existing forests should be aggressively protected. There is NO substitute for a natural forest.

The okapi has the head of an okapi, the stripes of an okapi, and the body of an okapi Its on the verge of extinction today because of the belgium-intiated, and now european/american facilitated destruction of the last free indigenous societies of Africa who resided in the Congo.

Después de muchos años irritator volverá a Brasil. El holotipo de dinosaurio volverá a su país de origen gracias a la presión de la comunidad científica, el cual lograron que el gobierno brasileño se pusiera de acuerdo con el gobierno alemán para que regresarán el ejemplar

Paleoart folks, take note: evidence that the type specimen of Anchisaurus was preserved in a burrow! Your chance to draw a prosauropod sticking its head out of a hole begins NOW!

Congratulation on publication! I created this illustration for the press release for this study. I would like to thank the researchers for this wonderful oppotunity.
