Did a quick paddlefish for the "tiny eye" theme. The American paddlefish (Polyodon spathula) has small undeveloped eyes, so it relies on sensory receptors to track down food

I think all humans should be required to listen to the song "Another One Bites the Dust" whenever the IUCN declares some species of Megafauna to be extinct.

Rest in Peace Chinese Paddlefish. Truly you were one ugly mother fucker, but I'm still sorry we killed you all to death.

The paddlefish at my workplace are so cute. I just want to give one a very firm slap on the side, or just hold them...

Polyodon spathula, the American paddlefish, belongs to the family Polyodontodae, a group of fishes that emerged in the early Cretaceous and have since been relatively unaffected by time. This individual, however, succumbs to the consequences of daylight savings.

Next entry for phase 1 of the Pretty much ecologically identical to modern paddlefish just tiny, schooling, and paddle-less. (My second attempt at a shad-like color scheme. While I like this quality better I think it looks too much like a tuna...)

In North Dakota, the ejecta cloud rolls in from the south, filling the entire sky. Soon, a rain of molten rock showers the plains and deltas below.
