The distal femur of an early like Australopithecus africanus is among the most humanlike parts of their anatomy. The angulation between the femoral shaft and condyles reflects habitual bipedal gait.

Australopithecus anamensis is the earliest known of its genus. Its diet seems to have concentrated on woodland foods more than the later Au. afarensis or Au. africanus, within a habitat with mixed trees and C4 grasses.

Other fish visible in this drawing are a gar (Obaichthys africanus) and a polypterid. Of the polypterid all we have are two jaw fragments, and one of those isn't even from the Kem Kem. Phylogenetic bracketing is a paleontologist's best friend.

The Mountain Goat (Oreamnos americanus), also known as the Rocky Mountain Goat, is the largest of the mammals found in North American high-altitude habitats which may exceed elevations of 13,000 ft. Color pencil and ink study from my sketchbook.

The discovery of the MLD 18 mandible in 1953 followed the sorting and movement of more than 5000 tons of miners' dump material. The fossil comes from one of the older adult individuals known for Australopithecus africanus.

Crotalus Americanus Nagai. North American Rattlesnake Naga. Jack is very polite, doesn't mind being in his tank, but he needs enrichment along with his food- and aren't you looking mighty tasty...

As the smallest mandible in the highly variable Sterkfontein Member 4 sample, Stw 404 has been a key fossil in understanding whether all these fossils represent Australopithecus africanus, or some of them may represent a second, larger species.

Some fossil skulls have an important place in understanding the variation of extinct species. Stw 505 is a large Australopithecus africanus skull, helping to show that big individuals had brains that overlapped in size with the larger-brained Homo.

Ideia pra evolução daquele peixe. Foi bem mal feito, mas com frufruzinhos para adornar. Seria inspirado num Atractosteus africanus.

El murciélago también tiene un significado mitológico muy especial y extraño. Es el c’ama-zo’tz (como se nombra en el mito qu’iché), el «murciélago que arranca cabezas». Vemos a murciélagos representados como tal en los códices Borgia, Fejervary Mayer y Vaticanus B

Polyergus mexicanus: If you're lucky you'll see an orange column of these charging across the ground, raiding other species' colonies. They keep prey alive as "enslaved" workers. Classic social parasite, here in our backyard. Look it up.
