Inspired by 's reimagining of Dixon's Vortex, I tried my skills at imagining a large filter-feeding seabird. Have Balaenomergus macropus, a speculative highly specializes Anseriform

day 7: today’s is a pair of abelisaurs engaged in bloody combat with their ridiculously thick (thicc) tails. Carnotaurus had a very thick tail, and these abelisaurs have taken it to the logical extreme, fighting like giraffes do with their necks.

First redraw is the ahuizotl!
Imagined here as an amphibious marsupial with fingerlike graspers at the end of its tail. It may have helped arboreal ancestors hang from trees, now it lures and smothers small prey. Or human prey, if you ask your local Aztec fisherman.

Another one for , the unicorn. The unicorn "horn" is actually a tusk, similar to a narwhal or elephant. Being grazers, these animals adapted a prehensile trunk to pick grass as the tusk prevents normal grazing.

For I submit to you, the carnivorous horse, or "loper." To call them horses is a misnomer, these large predators are actually most closely related to hyenas and only resemble horses superficially. They are one of 3 remaining species in the genus hippomorphus.

Day three of Today’s are a pair of ALPINE Scutellosaurs. The large, big horn sheep like horns are based off of the smaller horns discovered on Scutellosaurus. The thick coat of feathers keeping them warm also obscured most of the scutes!
