For your Monday morning viewing pleasure, we give you the brain of a kangaroo (from George Robert Waterhouse's 1846 "A Natural History of the Mammalia", new to #BHLib this week via @museumsvictoria @atlaslivingaust): https://t.co/XpaCzunxqp @biodivlibrary #MammalMonday
Canids of South America, including species extinct in the last 12,000 years. Canids are surprisingly diverse in South America. Some hypercarnivore taxa went extinct 12-10,000 years ago (along with most of the megafauna). Did this in sketch style #paleoart #sciart #MammalMonday
Walking with Ground Sloths. I have finished this commission depicting Nothrotheriops, a medium-sized ground sloth from North America. Here is a preview of the WIP of some poses close to being finished. It was a lot of fun working on this #MammalMonday #paleoart #sciart #sloths
The greater dwarf lemur (Cheirogaleus major) is nocturnal and lives in forests and dry scrub areas in Madagascar. #SciArt by P. Charles Berjeau for "The Proceedings of the Zoological Society of London" (1872), in #BHLib via @NHM_Library ➡️ https://t.co/jr0ECWwnB7 #MammalMonday
Here is the video of the sketch of this reconstruction of a grazing Toxodon. Overall it took me like 10 minutes to sketch this. That’s all the time I had this morning to do my warmup sketch 😅 #paleoart #sciart #mammalmonday Done Im #Procreate
English artist Winifred Austen was a member of the Society of Women Artists, London. She provided #SciArt for The Wild Beasts of the World (1909), such this Philippine Flying Lemur (Cynocephalus volans) ➡️ https://t.co/wwERTEu8nr #5womenartists #HerNaturalHistory #MammalMonday
Ornithorhynchus anatinus, platypus (Ferdinand #Bauer,1803). A semi-aquatic mammal found in eastern Australia. It is 1 of 5 species of monotremes, the only egg-laying mammals. The first Europeans to encounter them were bemused by its beaver-like body and duck's bill #MammalMonday
WIP, still early stages of this illustration where I want to show a detailed process of reconstructing cynodont, in this case the large sized Trucidocynodon from the Triassic of Brazil. Finished illustration in my in-prep book. Many details still to fix #paleoart #MammalMonday
Fauna Boica oder gemeinnützige Naturgeschichte der Thiere Bayerns (1830-1832), on the mammals of Bavaria, was the 1st volume in J.E. von Reider & C.W. Hahn's series exploring animals of the region. Explore it for #MammalMonday #BHLib via @National_Ag_Lib: https://t.co/A3AbMdeEhD
Its #MammalMonday and since I am including a few size charts in my book, here is the one I am still working on for therapsids of the Triassic and Jurassic. Size comparison with a 1.8 m human. #paleoart #sciart #therapsids they were not huge but many were not super tiny either.
It’s #MammalMonday so I give you a close relative to mammals: Oligokyphus lufengensis, a tritylodontid cynodont from the Lower Lufeng Fm, Early Jurassic (Hettangian) of China. #paleoart #cynodonts
Tamandua is a genus of anteaters. #SciArt of the northern tamandua (Tamandua mexicana) for #MammalMonday from "Manual para el rastreo de mamíferos silvestres de México" (2012) by J.M.A. Sánchez, in #BHLib via #BHLMexico & @Conabio: https://t.co/91Rl6ZXCuE #OpenAccess
For #MammalMonday here is Rugosodon eurasiaticus, a multituberculate mammal from the Late Jurassic (Oxfordian) Jurassic Tiaojishan Formation of China. Part of my illustrations from that formation for my book “Journey To The Mesozoic vol. I” #paleoart #mammals
Derby's woolly opossum (Caluromys derbianus) is nocturnal, arboreal & solitary. Explore the species & its tracks in "Manual para el rastreo de mamíferos silvestres de México" (2012) by J.M.A. Sánchez, in #BHLib via #BHLMexico & @Conabio: https://t.co/91Rl6ZXCuE #MammalMonday
In honour of @kchibs defending his PhD today, here's the unusual aquatic mammal Desmostylus and Ounalashkastylus for #MammalMonday (the latter taxon named by @kchibs et al in 2016)
Explore the mammals of the British islands for #MammalMonday with Sir Henry Hamilton Johnston's "British Mammals" (1903). Digitized in #BHLib by @AMNH: https://t.co/qflAJtlNqA #SciArt #naturalhistory
WIP Its #MammalMonday so here is an indeterminate Sinokannemeyeriine dicynodont from the Lipovskaya Fm. Not a mammal nor a cynodont but a distant relative therapsid from Early Triassic (Olenekian) Russia. One of the approx. #dicynodont 20 spp that will appear in my book #paleoart
I uploaded the non-revised pic earlier. This is the correct one: It’s #MammalMonday so here is my recon of Amblotherium gracilis, a therian dryolestid mammal from the Late Jurassic Morrison Fm (Brushy Basin mb) CO USA 🇺🇸. It lived alongside animals like Stegosaurus #paleoart
Krefft's "The Mammals of #Australia" (1871) includes #SciArt by the amazing Scott sisters https://t.co/YLGH0lute2 #WomenInSTEM #MammalMonday
#MammalMonday Fruitafossor windscheffeli a Jurassic mammal from Morrison fm, Colorado 🇺🇸 that probably feed in termites #paleoart
