We all know how dinosaurs have been reimagined over the years with new discoveries, but what about megafauna? How has our understanding of creatures like mammoths, giant sloths, and saber-toothed cats evolved?

How do you mess up that bad?

Proud to announce that my short story collection, Prehistoric Wild: Life in the Mesozoic, has been updated with its 35th entry. Called "Hunchback's Offering," this one takes place in the La Huérguina Formation of Early Cretaceous Spain, 130 million years ago. In it, a Concavenator named Diego competes with other males in a hunt against a flock of Pelecanimimus before using his prize as part of a mating ritual. This is one I've been eager to write for a while. Not only is it one of the first ideas I ever had for Prehistoric Wild, but I also took heavy inspiration from birds of paradise for one particular aspect of this tale. Can't wait to hear what y'all end up thinking of it. https://www.wattpad.com/1497014862-prehistoric-wild-life-in-the-mesozoic-hunchback%27s

Obviously this is all speculation, but which group of animals do you think might be hardy enough to survive, well-suited to a niche in a modern ecosystem, and sneaky or small enough to have evaded detection? Or perhaps they could live in an environment that is hard for humans to survey. I've been daydreaming about radiodonts still existing somewhere in the ocean, either a modern anomalocaris in a remote bit of reef, or perhaps a filter-feeding form adapted to life in the twilight zone or deep-sea abyss. Not likely, but fun to think about!

This little guy makes me so sad so I had to draw him happy and warm

Got this as a tattoo ages ago because I thought it was very cute. I cannot find a reference or figure out who he is and I don’t know where else to look. Hope someone can help.

Who in the same territory would not come out alive Mosasaurus Megalodom Leviathan

Proud to announce that my short story collection, Prehistoric Wild: Life in the Mesozoic, has been updated with its 34th entry. Called "Dive of Peril," this one takes place in the Hosselkus Limestone of Late Triassic California, 226 million years ago. In it, a sub-adult male Shonisaurus named Carlos is slowly pushed away from his mother Ava, but when taking his first deep dive on his own, he encounters a major threat in the form of a Shastasaurus. This is one I've wanted to write since I first conceived Prehistoric Wild as a whole. Not only is Shonisaurus one of my favorite marine reptiles, but its also one I found to be weirdly overlooked in a lot of paleo media. And since I was still working on this when my cat Carlos AKA Falafel passed away in the middle of October, I decided to dedicate this story to his memory. Thus, I'm very eager to hear what any of y'all end up thinking of it. https://www.wattpad.com/1495471272-prehistoric-wild-life-in-the-mesozoic-dive-of
