There are two species of hippo still extant today, but the one we normally think of is the common hippopotamus (Hippopotamus amphibius), as illustrated here by Sir William Jardine.
Are you planning on building a bridge? Don't forget your sextant!
Isambard Kingdom Brunel owned this sextant, which is on display in the Top Gallery. Brunel designed bridges across the country, including the Clifton Suspension Bridge in Bristol.
I am Alder, and I like invertebrates, extant or not! 🦋 #PortfolioDay #SciArt #Scicomm #Entomology #Paleoart

Rough color block vs final; thank god for #digitalart, so I don't have to waste paper on a bunch of rough sketches before I find something I like. I was inspired by the vibrance of extant sea turtles, which are never just plain brown or green #paleoart
All this talk of big cows demands perspective! Certainly the #Aurochs' body size is big (& there are some huge specimens), but please, it pales in horn size to the #Ankole_Watusi which is the largest extant horned animal on Earth! Just goes to show that the Watusi is the real Bos
The fossilized skeletons of pterosaurs - which look quite different from any extant flying vertebrate - baffled many early palaeontologists. One early theory suggested that pterosaurs were flying marsupials.

Baleen whales are known for their large size, but in the past some were relatively small. Here's the Oligocene baleen whale Fucaia goedertorum, its skull and mandibles are not much larger than the extant Pacific White-Sided Dolphin #FossilFriday #NHMLA #MarineMammals
And we'd like you to meet the 6th of our new sharks for #SharkWeek, GUZZLE - he's a Megamouth Shark!
Megamouth sharks are a species of deepwater shark. They are the smallest of the three extant filter-feeding sharks.

Chuffed to have had the pleasure of drawing more dinos for the awesome @Ben_garrod recently! They were used in an epic battle between #ExtantVsExtinct at @swansci4 @SwanseaUni. I hope my spinosaurus put up a good fight for #TeamExtinct 🦖
Happy #WorldSeabirdDay!
Today commemorates the #extinction of the #GreatAuk (Pinguinus impennis), a large flightless #seabird in the #alcid family that lived in the North Atlantic and was hunted to extinction in 1844. Let's #celebrate, #conserve and #protect our extant seabirds!
