they're extinct, but gorgonopsians!! they're a subgroup of therapsids that were called "mammal-like reptiles" for their mixture of mammalian & reptilian feature. their sizes ranged anywhere from small dog to bear-sized

this is a rly good science-for-non-scientists book imo, w lots of good analogies and visual metaphors. eg, "skulls like gigantic staple removers" p much nailed gorgonopsids.

Flare, I know it's temping but you can't take that penguin back to the house. You already have a pet gorgonopsian and an owl(and Bree), it will just be another mouth to feed.

Inostrancevia, probably the most commonly depicted Permian gorgonopsid. I did this fairly quickly, mostly just to experiment with integument. The loose, almost sketchy rendering is supposed to be kind of tough, kind of wrinkly skin with some hairs/bristles

r. atrox was closely related to dinogorgon which has the most badass name of any animal ever therefore some people mightve heard of it. i find it interesting how gorgonopsids had limited post canine dentition, how many choked to death on bones?

CT reconstructions reveal so much about the biology of extinct animals--like this gorgonopsian: https://t.co/D2lNcAx9TG
