Homotherium serum WIP

“They both look beautiful!”
“They’re both great designs!”

uhuh..

Dinofelis aronoki WITH SABER POUCH. It already had it but, hey, we got a paper supporting it now.
I made a few edits to the head, so pls excuse the repost.

Peek at a reconstruction of the skull of Dinofelis aronoki.
I spent ages on the teeth (looking at references from papers and stuff ofc) but honestly feel like the result is kind of pleasing to look at.

Eyy ty Wyatt, I’ll tag a few more for the ride:

Also some of me art:
Acanthostega, random archaeocete, aurochs and Dinofelis https://t.co/zcFHJqVqI7

@Cl1ffDynos @JaimeHeadden But even with alligator-like soft tissue on the jaw, parts of the mouth in T. rex at least would constantly be open to the environment: unless the jaw bones totally overlap, there are huge gaps around the teeth that only soft tissue as extensive as lips could really cover. (3/3)

Homotherium/Smilodon comparison
In a way, I think Homotherium is actually more derived.
Sure, Smilodon has those insane sabers, and adaptations to use them, but Homotherium had this insanely blown up rostrum, housing crazy knife-like incisors as well as (albeit small) sabers.
