Friendly reminder that there's an ancient Egyptian "Tale of the Shipwrecked Sailor", in which a guy gets stranded in an island & meets a giant dragon/serpent-like creature that tells him there used to be more like him, but they all burned to death when a star fell from the sky!

A reminder that deer and wild boar (the tiger's prefered prey) are dichromats, meaning to them the tiger is not orange, but a dull green about the same as the surroundings. The stripes break its figure, too, making a motionless or slow moving tiger practically insvisible to prey.

One of the earliest carnivores, we now know that Dilophosaurus has expanded snot chambers in its crests. It squirts mucus at its prey, gluing it in place, allowing the carnivore to eat at leisure. This makes Dilophosaurus a beautiful, but messy addition to the Jurassic period.

Some sabercats became huge and muscular to wrestle large prey. Others, like Lokotunjailurus chinsamyae, evolved long, slender legs and enlarged dewclaw to chase and hook ungulates at high speed. Once thought to be a homothere, it appears Lokotunjailurus may be its own linneage!

Oh and never forget, ceratopsids evolved false eyes to mimic and exaggerate a tyrannosaur's stare thus creeping real tyrannosaurs out. But then tyrannosaurs mimicked ceratopsids' tyrannosaur mimicking frills on their butts. It's like poetry. It rhymes.

Kaiju otter! Did Enhydriodon snatch large herbivores from the water's edge like a maniacal mustelid crocodile, or did it actually chase land prey/steal it from other predators? It had huge fangs, powerful jaws, and there's evidence it prefered red meat. Who knows!

A Cuvieronius uses its tusks to etch its likeness on the rock to the excitment of its herdmates. "Gomphotheres never forget, but let's make sure nobody else does". Inspired by the potential Cuvieronius rock art and by older studies that doubted whether it coexisted with humans XD
I couldn´t resist! A possible Cuvieronius rock art depiction from Nicaragua? C´mon! :D Cuvieronius was a gomphothere- part of a proboscidean family related to elephants. It was notorious for its strange, spiral tusks, and was widely spread from the southern US to Chile. Wild!

Nannytyrannus tend to the queen. One feeds the hatchlings she guards in her mouth, others receive the neweggs, and elsewhere others raise older babies. This eusocial system allowed tyrannosaurs to increase survival rate, overcome other predators and rule for millions of years.

I do wonder if a stare would be interpreted by tyrannosaurs as a challenge, as in primates or cats today, and if so, whether fake staring eyes on a ceratopsid frill would be unnerving to them- a bit of psychological warfare :B (Old doodle from four years ago)

The serpent is said to have been 30 cubits long (which I believe equals to about 15 m), with a "beard" over 2 cubits, and eyebrows of lapislazuli, as well as skin inlaid with gold. It was so big it would splinter trees and make the earth shake as it moved through the island!
