Ceratosaurus by Gaston Design, Inc.

Megantereon by Bone Clones

A few important distinctions between Ceratosaurus and a sabercat:

1) Ceratosaurus had a whole battery of saber-like teeth. Stress from struggling prey would be more evenly distributed across multiple teeth. This may have given its teeth an advantage when it came to enduring the—

5 sketches of Deinocheirus in different positions. Some of the sketches are details of its head and neck

Let’s sketch the magnificent beast that is Deinocheirus!

Deinocheirus mirificus was a huge ornithomimosaur that lived during the Late Cretaceous in Asia. This herbivorous dinosaur had huge arms with large claws that were probably primarily used for digging or gathering plants

Enormous reptiles, neither quite lizard nor mammal-like in form, rear, grapple and tear at one another in front of a setting sun at a rocky, foreboding shore. One, the horned Iguanodon, roars so widely that its grotesque tongue protrudes from its mouth like a tentacle; the other, a Megalosaurus, tears a string of dark flesh from its opponents' chest. They are surrounded by other snarling, roaring beasts: plesiosaurs, ichthyosaurs and a distant, spike-backed Hylaeosaurus. Palm trees and ferns dot the top of rocky escarpments alongside perching pterosaurs with translucent, bat-like wings. The remains of ammonites and skulls of reptiles decay into water and rocks.

Another John Martin-style #paleoart piece painted for fun. This riffs on 1830s views of the British Wealden, where giant dinosaurs (Iguanodon and Megalosaurus here) engaged in violent combat in grand natural amphitheatres. Pterosaurs and other animals watch on. ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED? #sciart

How much do I love my ducks? I just spent half an hour hauling out 5, five gallon buckets of water to refill their heated pool 😆. They are living the goddamn dream.

Beast Fables - Ogres

In Urvara, 'Ogre' is a catch-all term for anything big, can stand on two feet, have tusks, and are strong enough to lift a man and tear 'em in two or more pieces.

A slender toad with long, skinny legs and a square-shaped nose! They are lime green in color with many black spots and black bands on their legs! They are covered in lots of bright red warty spots!

Our friend the Sambas Stream Toad is also known as the Bornean Rainbow Toad! They were once believed to be extinct but were rediscovered in 2011 in a small, remote area in western Sarawak in Malaysia! (photo by Oliver Bandz)

Here is quite a large solitary rugose (horn) coral belonging to the taxa Grewingkia canadensis. This specimen was collected from the Upper Ordovician Whitewater (upper cincinnatian series) Formation in Indiana.

I saw a guy on Reddit headcanon that the entire prehistoric continent in Primal is now infected with the zombie plague, & that the last time Spear and Fang were there was simply before it completely engulfed the land.

Do I buy it? No. Would it make for raw/horrific fanart? Yes.
