was a large rhino-like horse-ancestor alive during the Eocene. Most art of the Megacerops make them very rhinolike, so i wanted to embrace the more horse like quality of fur, got a little bit bison-like, but im into it.

If I had a nickle for every time South America (aka the best continent ever) had a giant, quadrupedal, apex predator crocodile, then I'd have two nickles, which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice.
First Triassic, then Eocene.

I'm in whale mode right now for research, so gonna share one of my favorites for Remingtonocetus. Sounds very proper, I would absolutely have tea with Remingtonocetus (named for Remington Kellogg). It's a freshwater or coastal, early whale from the Middle Eocene.

This plot in & 's brilliant new paper breaks my heart.

The niches were there for dinosaurs to thrive in the Paleocene...but the asteroid took that chance away from them.

But, it opened those same niches to placental mammals, and here we are!
