can I make a painting based off of one of these photos? I am so captivated by this tiger

I've of my thylacines went home to Tasmania! Time to start the plushie reintroduction programme...

I just want to look at pictures and read words. I don't like videos. I struggle to process information from videos. I like step-by-step instructions I can take my time to process. Sometimes videos are good in combination with this.

Hello little panko!!

A lifesize thylacine plushie stands on a lawn. It is made of printed fabric, with highly detailled artwork.

Using my new thylacine sewing pattern I have created another lifesize thylacine plushie!

This big friend is available over here: www.palaeoplushies.com/shop/thylaci...

I cant wait to try your new thylacine pattern!!!!!

only a memory

Fantastical !!

Cutest thing I’ve seen all day. Reminds me of a newborn rat :-)

A small plush of a pink and hairless thylacine joey in a clear plastic box, standing upright. It's a snug fit.

We'd also like to take a moment to say a massive thank you to @confuzzled.org.uk for letting Brok have a day off to come and enjoy all the delights that Yorkshire has to offer! We hope the snacks were up to speck and that you had as wonderful a time with us as everybody at the party did with you!

The Newfie-native subspecies of grey wolf, c. l. beothucus. i saw the only mount of this beautiful animal last week in person :-) it was relatively smaller and lighter coloured than other subspecies. The last individual reportedly died in 1911.

"what is a Triceratops?" with a drawing of a brown Triceratops skull

"most people would say Triceratops is a species of dinosaur..." with a drawing of a green triceratops in profile view

"...but there are actually two* known species of Triceratops!" "*currently accepted" with a drawing of the previous green Triceratops looking surprised at a more yellowish Triceratops walking into frame

"Triceratops is actually a genus - the level above species" with drawings of both the green and yellow Triceratops from before in profile view. The green one has a blunter horn and wavy horns and is labeled "Triceratops horridus" and the yellow one has horns curved forwards with a longer horn and is labeled "Triceratops prorsus".

“But they’re coming here and committing crimes!!” Is a lie. Crimes in Canada are being committed by guess who? White people who were born here. Men. Even “respectable” men like police officers and millionaires and veterans. Not the Sikh guy you punched on the bus for breathing.

“BUT CANADA HAS BEEN STOLEN FROM US” is an argument i see. Hey…. Canada was stolen July 1st 1867 when white people invaded and raped and killed the native peoples of the land. You’re being a hypocrite. Look back on what you’re saying.

Every single fucking comment section is now “FUCKING BROWN PEOPLE” commented by fellow Canadians. I’m disgusted in my country. You’re boycotting Tim’s for hiring immigrants but you’re willingly supporting genocide by buying from companies that donate to Israel ?

I’m tired of it and I’m speaking up. CANADA HAS A RACISM PROBLEM. just because the woman who served you at Tim hortons today was “hard to understand” doesn’t mean you should take pictures of her and post them to social media and harass her. Don’t you have a heart?

Outdoors with wolfy again

We are turning Earth into a unlivable Hot House Earth
Earth was about 2.65 degrees Fahrenheit (or about 1.47 degrees Celsius) warmer in 2024 than in the late 19th-century (1850-1900) preindustrial average.

The 10 most recent years are the warmest on record.
