Diving with Serpentisuchops! :B Long necked, long snouted plesiosaur up to 7 m long? Had to doodle it! :B It was a polycotylid, part of a group of long, slender snoted plesiosaurs that usually had shorter necks. I love it cause it looks like a sort of whimsical sea serpent thing.
Imagine trying to sleep in the dark Plio-Pleistocene nights, knowing unseen, silent monsters were prowling about, potentially looking for you :B Dinofelis is popularly imagined as a primate predator, but at least one study found Megantereon was a more frequent hominin hunter.
And don´t forget there's also a hominin skull from Dmanisi, Georgia, that shows bite marks of a sabercat, likely a Megantereon. https://t.co/ZXchHKQ4v9
I asked Dall-E to draw its own version of Diving with Spinosaurus and I must say I strongly suspect it knows something we don´t.
Borophagus gives its name to the entire borophagine subfamily within Canidae, which includes some of the smallest known canids, but also the very largest, Epicyon, which has been estimated at 170 kg or so! No wild canid before or after is known to have reached this size.
