Here's some of Blathers because he's very under-appreciated!

If it wasn't for his passion to inspect your fossils only for you to sell them off to Tom Nook for a metric ton of cash anyway, you'd probably spend your whole life in debt to that filthy raccoon!

TRUE - the closely related Austroatlas lentus was estimated to have possibly reached up to 17 feet tall, although I believe this species is only known from a few fossilized leg bones and part of a sternum.

On this, the eve of St. Patrick's Day, I only want to remind you that our distant relatives, Dimetrodon and Sphenacodon (Permian synapsids) had appropriately-shaped tooth roots in cross-section...

Should have the colour balance issue fixed by next week.
