day 7: the king of the grasslands

These drakes have notably convergently evolved with theropods. This genus is fairly diverse, with notable members like T. semma and T. koryfi, opposite sides of the size spectrum.

T. semma are roughly 2.5 meters long.

Congratulations to postdoc Junya Watanabe! The final version of his monograph exploring convergent evolution of the musculoskeletal system in flightless wing-propelled diving birds has been published Open Access here: https://t.co/hCFCLPhZrc.

The parrot shark is a member of a clade exclusive to Kaimere related to dogfish that convergently resemble carpet sharks.

Day 13: Amphibious. An amphibian titan that convergently evolved in a similar way to a pre-JP popular depiction of a Tyrannosaur. Just like modern salamanders, they eat any animal that would fit in their mouths. Including their own kin.

They really expect me to accept that these are all distinct taxa that evolved convergently on separate celestial bodies.

So, here's where the thylacine fits within all these bitey critters.
You can see that the shapeworld of anger-faced animals is basically divided into danger-cats 🐱 and snippy-snap-dogs 🐶. Including the marsupials!
Now then, is the thylacine convergent with anyone?

Is it just me who thinks it’s funny how basically independently thought of real four-winged dinosaurs when he came up with the “double hawk”?

Cool new paper on the state of the science on convergent evolution (at least 5 separate times) of the crab body plan.

A cool bit of trivia I didn’t know about till recently - frostbite spiders from Skyrim are not spiders, they are spider-convergent solifugids

The secret is in the chelicerae: spiders just have fangs, whereas solifugids have pincers

So many people convergently were working on Gorgonopsid palaeoart today, including myself (An Inostrancevia). I propose to be every Jan 16th

Fun fact the crocodilian niche and body plan is so good that it convergently evolved several times in animals that aren't particularly related.

Phytosaurs are perhaps the clearest example.

A SHOCKING REVELATION MADE ON DISCORD. With "The Croods" taking place 55 million years ago, it is not possible that Grug and his family are humans. Instead they must be some type of convergently evolved primate that died out in the early Cenozoic

This week has been great - and between them bought 10 of my artworks !!

And I've just seen that 'Convergent memory' has been re-listed on the secondary market for 3 Eth!

My new artwork for journal cover (unfortunately, we lost out in the competition...). This picture show that protein-level convergent evolution to acquire the same functions from different ancestors, like an animal convergent evolution. https://t.co/zToIo6ehfH

I know its most likely just convergent evolution, but imagine the irony of Al Ewing doing a creator owned pastiche of The Terrifics.
