Pastel Paleotober Day 9: Waimanu 💝
Waimanu of New Zealand lived in the Paleocene soon after KPG Extinction. Taking advantage of the empty nieches left by the disappearance of most large marine predators, Waimanu took to the sea full-time as one of the first true penguins.
@tmkeesey @PaleoceneComic My illustration of a “hunter” stylized in vague homage to Paleocene issue 1.

From the paleozoic to the paleocene~ #Mammoths galore! I did notice that all elephants today have eyes with black sclera and dark ember iris. I thought that maybe mammoths could have somethings similar.

THE CRONCH "CAT": DIET AND PALEOECOLOGY OF PATRIOFELIS ULTA. @Laelaps at #TetZooMCon 2021. Not a cat. With big teeth. Probably ate lots of turtles... a durophagore? #palaeoecology #paleoecology #fossils #Patriofelis #Eocene #palaeontology #paleontology #durophagore
#TetZooMCon is happening now! Doodle inspired by @Laelaps ’s talk about the ecology of enigmatic Eocene mammal Patriofelis (”father of cats”): could those crazy teeth have been for cracking turtle shells?
#LagerstatteoftheWeek Eoconstrictor was an ancient boid snake that lived in the Eocene Messel Pit. Based on skull structure, it was one of the earliest known snakes with infrared vision.

First image is a very well done illustration by @EmilianoTroco. Long ago in the ancient days of Pakistan, during the Middle Eocene Epoch, a female Maiacetus inuus, while doing her hunting has finally captured her next meal and will be returning to land shortly to feed her young

Phiomia was an early member of the Proboscidea; distantly related to true Elephants. Remains are known from the Faiyum region of Egypt; from the Late Eocene to the Early Oligocene.
