This cursed animal is from Cuvier’s ‘Animal kingdom’ (1837)

Frédéric Cuvier was born #OTD in 1773. These illustrations are from his 4 vol. 'Histoire naturelle des mammifères', 1824-42, written with Étienne Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire. The animals were mainly depicted from life. Included is a red panda, Ailurus fulgens, which he named in 1825.

What if BTAC isn't over and Dini/Burnett are playing the long game?
Mister Wing is created by Dorian, who works with Cuvier, who has ties to Kobra, who just so happens to be harboring Firefly 🧐
Today, P. cuvieri has its own genus, Cimoliopterus. We recognise it as an ornithocheiromorph, a long-winged, ocean-going species closely related to Ornithocheirus and Anhanguera. It was among the last of the toothed pterosaurs. But can we still consider it a giant?
P. cuvieri should thus be remembered as the actual first pterosaurian 'giant', a species that originated the concept of supersized extinct fliers. Saying the more widely popularised Pteranodon was the first giant is a claim jump: it simply wasn't.
And, OK, a 5 m wingspan is not that exciting when we know of 10 m wingspan azhdarchids, but in 1852 this was a big deal: not only a flying reptile almost 2x larger than any living bird, but the largest flying animal known at that time. P. cuvieri was a real game-changer.
Cuvieronius was a strange, elephant-like animal related possibly to the mastodons, and probably lived in a variety of environments from chilly highlands, to warm jungles. It was well-known for its rather spiraled tusks unlike any other known proboscidean. Twisted!

Birthday in the park: George Cuvier, 1769-1832, naturalist and zoologist.....https://t.co/TEpGmkpEPB
While the pre-Origin species concepts of Cuvier (pictured), Hooker, Humboldt, Agassiz, Herschel, Whewell, Henslow, and other Victorians have obviously flunked the test of time, they were neither unsophisticated nor religiously obscurantist
