There’s still time to back my art book! kickstarter.com/projects/onipr… Late pledges are open until it goes to the printer next month. This piece has been added to the book & the tier 4 print set. Thank you for all the support everyone!

Fascinating footage. River dolphins are often listed as prey for black caiman but seeing an interaction that appears to be predatory(or at least standoffish) in nature is interesting…

A note for #paleoartists: the new Sereno et al. (2025) Edmontosaurus mummy paper (specifically, the suppl. data) point out that the hooves of the hind feet are like those of tapirs and rhinos: most of the sole of the foot is still fleshy.

Also you might be tempted to go back and change all your old paleoart to incorporate new findings, but you don't need to do that. I think it's important that paleoart is a quick visual way to see what was known at the time the art was made, it's like an index fossil in a way.

“4 eyes” Latest piece by me, featuring Carcharodontosaurus and some birds (inspired by Ichthyornis). Morocco circa 95 million years ago.

As someone who works professionally as both a 3D artist and palaeontological researcher, I always find it really funny when palaeo papers describe very normal 3D artist things with a bunch of extra made-up jargon to make them sound a bit more scientific. It happens quite a lot.
