I like dinosaurs, and wildlife. I may also post on some cryptid related things, probably rarely. Link Tree: https://linktr.ee/ankylotar

its probably just bending its head down but to me it always looked hunch-necked or something

Kinda weird that Schleich's old mammoth is given a hunch-back pose

It's so much more legit when the TV ad playing presents actual bald eagle sounds with the bald eagle rather than putting hawk sounds over it.

I've seen that skull on a video before, they talked about it having unusual features, and having preserved frill scales.

I used to think that cats need to be itinerant, that that was part of their independent nature. Now I realize how irresponsible that is. Their lives and well-being is way too important to neglect.

here's a closer up shot of a brown tailed one, you can see better detail. And another eating human food.

Just to be clear I mean stripes on the tail, because most of it was gone. I assume the stripes were limited to the tail based on one my mom saw.

I forgot to caption it, but the two backmost squirrels are monotone with the foreground one having the brown tail.

Here is an example of some melanistic Eastern Gray #Squirrels in Eastern NA. Some even get brown or reddish-brown tails in the summer. I like their color variety, it's quite interesting to see. I have even seen a body of one with stripes on it.

I like to look at all the custom #Jurassicworld dinosaurs on eBay, just because they look nice and it's cool to see what repaints people make.

The roadside fences for some reason, have a monthly cost of $100, this won't be that bad in sandbox, but with a very limited money park, they'll just make your park go broke. I edited the monthly cost to '0' on mine.

Also, trees can be placed inside the tunnels, they stick out and give the rocky walls a nice bushy look. Fences can be obscured in these tunnels, and you can therefore work viewing vents into these rock-styled habitats!

I've also been using the Tour Car tunnels a lot, they look great for habitat walls. But you can only place up to 8 when you get the mod, so the trick is to go to their file and edit the '8' to a 900, gives plenty of room. Animals can walk through these tunnels, so I plug them with big rocks.

These are some different enclosures than can be done in the Legacy Dream mod. Road Side fences can be used for enclosure fencing as tour car fencing. Big rocks are very useful for plugging gaps like corners or when the fences 'meet' a regular fence.

The cover of the book "King Tyrant: a natural history of Tyrannosaurus rex" covered with gleaming review comments and a load of 5 star (or nearly so) ratings. Do you not have a copy yet? You can get them wherever books are sold. I mean, I'm just an alt text caption so my judgment on this anything beyond image description is limited, but I hear Mark worked incredibly hard on this project and thinks it's the best thing he's ever published. He'd be really happy if you bought a copy, and perhaps additional ones for friends and family so you could have very informed conversations about T. rex and all the dinosaur biology it's revealed to us.

#Tyrannosaurus rex was named 120 years ago today (Oct 4, 1905). If you want to know all there is to know about the world's most iconic #dinosaur, the word is that my book "King Tyrant", published a few months back, is a good start. #fossils #paleontology #paleoart press.princeton.edu/books/hardco...

This digitally painted piece honors the survivor spirit of the coyote by tracing its lineage from the first cells of life to the animal trotting our landscapes today. Below the horizon, carefully chosen ancestors mark pivotal moments in adaptation, each contributing to the form and survivor we see today. Above the horizon, Coyote stands alert at the center, framed by both Denver’s skyline and a mountain backdrop, symbols of their ability to thrive in cities as well as wilderness. Embedded in the ground are the skulls and bones of carnivores whose lineages ended long ago, emphasizing Coyote’s persistence in contrast.
