Another striped loss.
The thylacine or Tasmanian wolf/tiger is a marsupial that inhabited Australia and Tasmania. It was finally exterminated in the first half of the 20th century.

I had a dream I had two nephews named Michael and Henry. I went to an amusement park with them and tried to keep them safe in all the scary rides because they were still so young.

Anyway this is what they looked like:

News @ Urwelt-Museum Oberfranken (UMO) in Bayreuth: new ichthyosaur, Eurhinosaurus mistelgauensis, named today after UMO's prime excavation site, the Jurassic clay pit Mistelgau. @olorotitan.bsky.social beautifully reconstructed the to-be fossil on a belemnite battleground typical for the locality.

This one is for me.

I had AJ since 2009 (he was a dog the first time I drew him) and during my lowest lows he is always in the back of my head to remind me I have to keep going

I wanted to get a video of this ghost crab but every time I got close to their hole they scuttled back in, so I tried getting clever with it. I made a little sandcastle and shoved my phone into it, hit record, and walked away. Crab was VERY suspicious of this addition to their environment.
