Glyptodonts were the armored giants of the Ice Age.
These tank-like relatives of armadillos grew up to 5 meters long and 2,000 kg, protected by a massive dome of bone. #Paleontology #Megafauna #IceAge #Evolution #Fossils #Zoology
El Doedicurus: Básicamente un armadillo que fue al gimnasio y no paró hasta pesar una tonelada. 💪 Tenía el tamaño de un coche y una maza con pinchos en la cola. La Megafauna no se andaba con bromas. 🛡️

The Marsupial Lion, Thylacoleo.
Shame it's extinct, irl dropbears woulda been sick to see.

Portrait of an extinct ground sloth, Ahytherium aureum.
Ahytherium aureum was a medium-sized, 600-800+ lb Megalonychid sloth from Late Pleistocene Bahía, Brazil 🇧🇷, disappearing some 11-12,000 years or so ago.

By showing how #megafauna once regulated dispersal networks, vegetation mosaics, and fire activity in the Pleistocene, our research aims to provide a historical baseline of the potential of reintroducing ecological analogues via trophic #rewilding to restore lost functions in the Neotropics 🔬🐗

Scientists hunting mammoth fossils found whales 400 km inland
Sometimes, new data raises more questions than it answers.

#Kansas has plenty of these (Osage Orange, Kentucky Coffeetree, Honey Locust). But still, that there exist #AnachronisticFruit gives me the feels thinking about these plants bereft of their long-gone #megafauna.

Thoughts on my favorite #Pleistocene #Megafauna species...
I remember at 8 years old waiting all day by the TV for Walking With Beasts to air on #DiscoveryChannel. "Next Of Kin" was the episode that captured me the most

Marine #megafauna is at risk in many seas
Sea otters are iconic predators in the north Pacific, but they were heavily hunted for their fur in the 18th and 19th centuries, as @nancyknowlton.bsky.social comments in this post

DID YOU KNOW…. #Rewilding doesn't mean going back to living as #huntergatherers. Well, maybe for some! But not for most of us. That way of life is and was dependent upon a plethora of #megafauna that are now all but extinct in most regions of the world. www.rewildportland.com/rewilding-101

[3/5] 🐘🌱 #Elephant trails influence #naturalRegeneration similarly to very low-intensity logging: seedling survival is lower on trails. Central African forests may be especially adapted to small disturbances from the presence of #megafauna. #CongoBasin #ForestDynamics

Mixed media artwork of a Columbia’s mammoth fossil overlayed by a highway map of Lincoln county Nebraska.
The Columbian mammoth fossil I worked from for this painting was found in Lincoln county, Nebraska (the map depicted). I was inspired by the state’s Highway Paleontology Program.

In-progress piece of art of a colombian mammoth fossil with roadmaps from Lincoln county, Nebraska - where it was excavated.

In progress artwork of a Colombian mammoth fossil over a map of Lincoln county Nebraska.
Maybe 2/3 of the way there? After some notable color and light adjustments, I’ll be ready to start finer details - mostly highway markers and bone textures.

The image shows a blue Smilodon (a kind of extinct big cat with long canine teeth) roaring to the viewer on a red and orange background. It is framed by the words "CHIN UP" and "FANGS OUT". The style is like a vintage screenprint though the artwork is digital.
A Smilodon for the ice age. Protect your neighbors. #pleistocene #sabertooth #megafauna #iceage
