That's something that I realized while drawing it, definitely took some inspiration from takins for the basic color concept. Big fan of the fact that the closest relative of takins may be Myotragus based on some papers looking at the DNA of caprines.

A partial recon of the new North American Pleistocene bovid Speleotherium logani. This guy is one of the few NA megafauna from this time described in the last century. Also showing that we still don't have a complete knowledge of the megafauna of Pleistocene NA #paleoart #sciart

Just barely making it for Septemberโ€™s #NearbyNature2025, hereโ€™s the Mexican Long-nosed Armadillo. Formerly known as a northern subspecies of the recently-split Nine-banded Armadillo, this is the only Xenarthran native to Alabama today. They are mostly nocturnal insectivores. #wildlife #alabama

Yeah, holocephalians are way weirder than people give them credit for, I'd say that they're probably more morphologically diverse than sharks over geologic time. There are way more that a could do.

With a new description of a certain holocephalian, I decided to go on a deep dive to illustrate some of weirdos from the jurassic being: Acanthorhina, Chimaeropsis, Metopacanthus, and Squaloraja. I also recommend listening to the recent episode by @commondescentpod.bsky.social about chimaeras!

This one was really fun to put together since a bunch of the resources were made with a bunch of people from the area, huge shout out to the UGA Stratigraphy Lab. Would have been so much harder without it.

Thank you!! I do plan on having the teeth completely or pretty much completely covered by lips. I have a nice skeletal from the osteological redescription that Iโ€™ll be using for my main reference.
