AW GREAT now I’m googling a bunch of extinct megafauna like Arctotherium, Argentavis magnificens, and Sarcosuchus imperator

Sarcosuchus imperator: proof that crocodilian evolution DIDN’T FUCK AROUND

Purussaurus: proof that not fucking around is an art form

Argentavis magnificens: the reason sky gods had bird symbols

BEAR VS ELEPHANT:

HIS FACE SAYS IT ALL:

ARCTOTHERIUM ANGUSTIDENS: AN UPSETTING QUANTITY OF BEAR

If I had pictures of size comparisons between an Irish Elk and a human being I’d put those here because ho damn.

The Pleistocene is the reason we have nightmares.

I know, like, the joke is “you put sabreteeth on something, make it bigger, and BAM you’ve got a pleistocene animal” but honestly then I remember that the sabretooth salmon is a thing and I’m like yeah okay. This was just, like, nature’s style at the time. Real big into large creatures with sabreteeth. It’s like when I got real into drawing things with long, birdlike necks for a while.
