Algo legal é que esteve presente em animais do clado Gorgonopsia (que são animais relacionados aos mamíferos). https://t.co/JyELX8cURp

-mass! Like other gorgonopsians, it possessed a pair of extra large canines, also commonly referred to as "saber teeth"! Similarly to other creatures that have canines like these, Inostrancevia likely used them to deliver fatal bites to its prey! (2/2)

My image of two big South African gorgonopsians from Late Permian, waiting to be described. Meet Helga and Raymond!

Quick studies of the large gorgonopsian Rubidgea for a possible commission. Meet your toothy distant relative. Synapsids have been doing this saber-toothed thing for a very long time

Sometimes I just wanna draw extinct critters—have a gorgonopsia

one of the most majestic permian animals... The model is based on a photogrammetry of the skeleton (the color is inspired by an illustration by D. Bonadonna, we created it for the "Museo delle Scienze" in Trento)

Work in progress. The large gorgonopsian Rubidgea, foraging along a river bank. Late Permian of South Africa. I had the idea for this illustration this morning and I had to start working on it, hopefully I’ll finish it some time in the future

they're extinct, but gorgonopsians!! they're a subgroup of therapsids that were called "mammal-like reptiles" for their mixture of mammalian & reptilian feature. their sizes ranged anywhere from small dog to bear-sized

Flare, I know it's temping but you can't take that penguin back to the house. You already have a pet gorgonopsian and an owl(and Bree), it will just be another mouth to feed.

Say hello to FRE☆KY Doge Studios' offical mascot, Sobëk~! She is a Late Permian proto mammal, Inostrancevia Gorgonopsia dubbed with the coolest nick name of Wolf of the Permian

‘Can it get any better?’, I asked myself. And then I saw this beautiful piece of Permian art: ‘Gorgonopsid entangled with a Dicynodont’ (- even though I am certain ‘gorgonopsian’ would be the right term). 😍😍

CT reconstructions reveal so much about the biology of extinct animals--like this gorgonopsian: https://t.co/D2lNcAx9TG
