Today's a very special day, it's #internationalhorseshoecrabday (also my birthday!)
Horseshoe crabs are fascinating arthropods that have been around for 244 million years! Sadly though overharvesting for biomedical purposes, food, and habitat destruction has reduced their numbers

A mammal!
Giant sloths were a diverse group of sloths. The most famous ones being the megatheriid sloths, growing as large as an elephant. This individual is the Shasta ground sloth (Nothrotheriops shastensis) it grew just under 3 metres long and could rear up as tall as a man!

Ceratosaurus, a medium sized theropod from the Late Jurassic period.

#PortfolioDay apparently, here's some of my art!
Hi I'm Michael, I draw a ton of animals and sometimes made up creatures.

A Velociraptor doodle, head and neck feathers inspired by vultures, research suggests vultures may have bald and/or short feathers as an adaptation to thermoregulate with sudden changes in temperature. Which is something you see in arid environments, this is a bit speculative.

An Indian vulture (Gyps indicus).
Vultures are one of the most endangered groups of birds, habitat destruction, persecution, poisoning, and bushmeat are factors in their decline. The use of diclofenac however is particularly devastating (1/2)

A Himalayan vulture (Gyps himalayensis). This is the largest of the Gyps vultures and possibly the largest bird in the Himalayas!

The white-rumped vulture (Gyps bengalensis) is a critically endangered species from South and Southeast Asia. This species was once conducted the most abundant large bird of prey in the world, in 2017 the global population was estimated to be less than 10,000 adults.

The black vulture (Coragyps atratus) is a new world vulture. Like other new world vultures they urinate on their legs to regulate their body temperature (this is called urohidrosis).

The latest in my vulture series, a red-headed vulture (Sarcogyps calvus).
This is a critically endangered species from India and parts of Southeast Asia.
I'm really enjoying going through the species, any suggestions for what I should do when I've done all the vultures? 😊
