An adult Spinosaurus mirabilis feeds on a fish, blocking the sun from four basking turtles in a marshy environment 95 million years ago in what now is Niger.

A Spinosaurus mirabilis annoyingly blocks the sun from four turtles sunbathing while eating a fishy meal 95 million years ago in what today is Niger, Africa.
They just wanna sunbathe, man...

Three sketches of the extinct ground sloth, Ahytherium: a side profile, a sloth eating Jua leaves, and a sloth with its mouth open facing the viewer.
Bonus Ahytherium sketches for you guys!

it should be "they had 5 fingers, with the "thumb", "pointer", "middle" and "ring" fingers having sharp claws on them. The "pinkie" was reduced to somewhat of a stub."!!!

Portrait of an extinct ground sloth, Ahytherium aureum.
Ahytherium aureum was a medium-sized, 600-800+ lb Megalonychid sloth from Late Pleistocene Bahía, Brazil 🇧🇷, disappearing some 11-12,000 years or so ago.

Their habitat included open woodland, cerrado, caatinga, montane grasslands, and gallery forests.
Another fun fact is that at least juveniles were a prey item for Jaguars; Smilodon populator may have hunted them as well.
Ahytherium was a mixed-feeder, meaning it engaged in browsing and grazing behavior. Some plants it might have fed on include shrubs like Caesalpinia pyramidalis, grasses, leaves and fruits like Ficus figs.

Three-panel comic depicting a Pakicetus (whale ancestor) threatening a dismissive Waimanu (ancient basal penguin); 50 million years in the future, the Orca now dominated the seas and the penguin lineage!

ft. Pakicetus sp., Waimanu, type b Orca/Killer Whale and Emperor Penguin.
*note: Paki and Waimanu were not contemporaries, so treat this like the timeline in Ice Age movies lol.

A rough sketch with defined shadows of the newly described Spinosaurus mirabilis (a male) holding a fish in its mouth, about to swallow it, as it blocks the sun from four basking turtles on a log—clearly annoying them—in a marshy landscape.
Rough peak at a piece I was convinced to make! Basic shadow layout.

And hopefully it stays that way.

A ground sloth - Xibalbaonyx oviceps- depicted in a flat color style with green fur (algae) on its back, arms, neck and tail. They are medium-sized for ground sloths, and are related to the famous Megalonyx jeffersoni.
A sloth for the day: Xibalbaonyx oviceps from Pleistocene Quintana Roo, México 🇲🇽!
Their name means “Sheep-headed Xibalba Claw [from the underworld]”, referring to its skull shape apparently resembling that of a sheep and it being found from a cenote.
