Vector illustration of Indohyus indirae, a raccoon sized artiodactyl closely related to whales. This small unassuming ungulate has long legs, a long snout, a thick tail and small hooved feet. It is dark brown with an olivey yellow rump. The animal is seen walking with a lotus leaf in its mouth

That's hilarious. And that's great, I'm sure you saw so many incredible birds too. I stayed at Las Cruces Biological Station, not far from the Panama border.

Fun fact, ground sloths made it to North America long before the Isthmus of Panama formed. There were also marine sloths that lived along the Pacific coast of South America.

I did see a three toed sloth on a field trip to Costa Rica, though.

It would've been cool to see a giant ground sloth.

I swear that behind every 'autism expert' is a person that has no idea what they're talking about who just enjoys making shit up, example this lady that's just making shit up and pushing her opinion as education for 30 years.

An illustrative piece in that it says the quiet part out loud: When you ask *who* is "wrongly" included in the autism spectrum, the response is almost always "women".

In other fields, this phenomenon of women being immediately dismissed, overlooked and underdiagnosed is called medical misogyny.

The Goblin, from the 1940's. Some things are best left in the past.

As the time to talk #SurvivingEarth nears, I wanted to say that I’m extremely proud to have been part of the amazing team who worked on it

I was commissioned by Tim Haines (producer of Walking with Dinosaurs) and his team, to create the concept art for MANY animals for this project!

These same clowns strike me as the kind of people who believe in "the marketplace of ideas" and yet complain that other genres are more popular now. Alt rock is also past its peak in my opinion.

Anyway, Morrissey is a piece of shit and I dropped Arcade Fire like a hot potato when it came to light that Win Butler was a sex pest.

The contradiction of being someone who had Smashing Pumpkins albums on rotation in college and who also cannot stand Billy Corgan.

I consider myself lucky I got to live at a time that alt rock was at its peak, but I'm not sure what the future will be for the genre(a loosely defined one, I would add, given it has so many subgenres and movements), honestly.

As someone who enjoys the music of Smashing Pumpkins(primarily the '90's iteration of the band), I cannot stand Billy Corgan.
