Gonna immediately follow up on a tweet I just made. I was too young to grow up with Bakker's dynamic paleoart. I DID, however, grow up with some of Steve White's paleoart (Brian Williamson did digital coloring here). They more than delivered on the action.

What a special moment. Today we released two beautiful sea turtles back to the wild after undergoing months of rehabilitation. Our sea turtle recovery centre provides life-saving care and is an integral part of our wildlife hospital. These two lucky turtles now have a second chance at life.

Artist Spolight - John Gurche. This is one of my favorite pieces ever. Everything about this is pure perfection. The colors, the composition, the atmosphere, the masterfully camouflaged tyrannosaurus.

You telling me an ad of all places is able to show a fight between a T. Rex and a Torosaurus and not in the actual show?

『ロボコップ』のラストシーン、何度観てもガッツポーズを取ってしまう。 あまりにキレが良すぎて。 黒幕はオムニ社の役員、だからオムニ社によって改造されたロボコップは逮捕も攻撃もできない。 なら、その場で解雇してしまえばいい。 確かに痛快な展開ではあるが、企業の論理で人間を一瞬で「役員ではない存在」にしてしまう厭なブラックさもある。 エンタメ性と社会風刺の超高度な表裏一体は正に本作の魅力そのもの。 そして、 「良い腕だな。名前は?」 「……マーフィー。」 ここでロボコップが「マーフィー」と名乗る。 人間だった頃の自我を取り戻したことを、この一言で宣言する。 そこから最強にカッコいいメインテーマが高鳴っていく音楽のタイミングにピタリと合わせて暗転。 『ROBOCOP』 タイトルがドーン。 キレが良い。良過ぎる。 思わずガッツポーズ。

The idea of losing America's oldest natural history museum and its valuable specimens, including the holotype of the first dinosaur ever found in the US, is mortifying. Public knowledge of our world and its past is the right of present and future generations! #SaveTheAcademy

A dinosaur horror trope I'd like to see subverted is that we humans, operating mostly on sight and sound, assume you can just hide from a dinosaur if you're quiet and not in its line of sight, when in actuality they'd just immediately pinpoint you with their great sense of smell.

Hadrosaurus foulki is one of the first dinosaurs discovered in the U.S. and first mounted dinosaur skeleton ever displayed. The only known holotype/remains reside at the Academy of Natural Sciences, leaving their fate uncertain with the announcement of the academy’s closure.

🚨NEW STUDY DROP🚨 3D models of bunch of ceratopsians were put through FEA tests to see how their horns would handle various stresses. Turns out that ceratopsians like Spiclypeus and Triceratops exhibited low stresses which may mean they really did fight! 🎨: Shirin El Ghomari

And if I said Dryptosaurus deserves to appear in a Jurassic World movie more than any other dinosaur-

With the Academy of Natural Sciences in Philadelphia, PA set to close at the end of the month, I had the opportunity to visit. It is a sad day to see such an important and historic museum being closed, but hopefully you will enjoy seeing some of the paleontology exhibits.

And me with the full mount of Tyrannosaurus rex. The Academy of Natural Sciences is a fantastic museum, and I hope the future of the museum is bright. I was so happy to visit while it's still open in its original location.

Not sure why this thread is saying that it's made with AI. I didn't, and anyone who knows me knows I don't use that.
