Today's four GHOULISH works of palaeoart! Art by Dinosaur World, Graham High/Centaur Studios, Luis Rey, and George Thompson!

A rough-scaled, fish-lipped Minmi stands amongst green undergrowth, looking up at the viewer with its diamond-shaped eyes. Its hide is decorated by square scales, little bony studs, and ridges that run down the length of the face.

Front-facing view of a leathery-skinned Tyrannosaurus head with long, yellowed teeth and bright green eyes. Its fleshy nostrils flare and its meaty tongue curls in its maw.

A pair of spiny-feathered Tyrannosaurus battle in a clearing. The foreground individual attempts to flee as its rival bites down on its tail, severing it at the midpoint in a spray of gore.

A slick-skinned, wiry Struthiomimus with smooth, brown skin and blue stripes looms over a nest of eggs. Its skeletal fingers are held outstretched on short, muscular arms held at right angles. Its sinuous neck curves back over its shoulder, giving a full view of its sunken eyes and tight-lipped mouth.

Woah awesome source of Esoteric Hermetic history relating to the ‘Androgynous’ ‘Lilith’ and intersex bodies as perceived in theology www.plotprotectors.org/posts/87740

I would guess Lilith was described as intersex.

#portfolioday :3 Heya I’m indui! I love creating fantasy art, especially in the theme of gardens/plants, dragons, kitties, and the natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest.

a black cat stands in a brick alleyway overgrown with wildflowers. It looks up curiously.

A chubby orange cat carefully steps down a bright, peaceful garden path

a small white dragon lies beneath crumbling gray ruins and a dark pine forest. the moon shines between the pine needles.

a white serpent's body weaves through a manicured garden full of mysterious statues. his face is hidden on the other side of a hedge. A single feathered wing rises from behind as well.

Yellow-headed Caracara for @dwmmphotography.bsky.social ! Thank you for the #Waymakers donation! 🎨🪶 #BirdArt #SciArt With that, all donations have been accounted for! So many birds, and so many generous people. Thanks to all of you, and I'm looking forward to next year's Waymakers race!

Arctic grayling haven't been found in Michigan for nearly a century, and now tribes are raising the species for reintroduction. No released fish have been seen in the wild yet, but it may take several years to tell if reintroduction has been successful www.interlochenpublicradio.org/ipr-news/202...

A year into reintroduction, no grayling seen in Michigan wild. Hope remains

Northern Michigan tribes are releasing Arctic grayling for the second year in a row, in hopes of restoring the native freshwater species. Questions remain about how many have already survived and how ...

She could not have been born gray. Her color, her color of brown, was an essential part of her, not an accident. Her anger, timidity, brashness, gentleness, all were elements of her mixed being, her mixed nature, dark and clear right through, like Baltic amber.

Random, but a child growing up or having a bald stage (any gender or sex) is so particularly restructuring cognitively if done with care or positive community structure. - was talking about Daenerys / ASOIAF /

Anyway the newly renovated rhino and hippo house in Milwaukee is really nice, both for animals and visitors. And as we suspected, Bears-Packers game day was the perfect time to visit—basically deserted.

When my dad was a kid, if he misbehaved, his father would make him read from Moby-Dick or Pilgrim’s Progress. Dad still doesn’t enjoy reading to this day. If you frame something a punishment, your kids won’t do it for fun as adults. Except for going to bed early. That’s a great time right there.
