#Prehistoric Hunt

[meirimerens]

youtube shorts is just tiktok without being on the app the amount of "i'm a [qualification] and [misinformation]" could make one turn their skin inside-out in protest. "i'm a board-certified OB-GYN & it's only been about the last hundred years that women have actually experienced menopause. We didn't live long enough to experience it" how can you be so incredibly wrong about something so integral to your practice. King of the Hittites Hattusilis III was told in 1250 BCE that his sister was too old to reproduce at age 50+. Aristotle wrote in the 4th century BCE that women stopped menstruating between ages 40 to 50, common menopause ages today still. i cannot begin to tell you how 4th century & 1250 BCE don't really count as "the last hundred years" unless that -s is doing a lot of heavy lifting. waiter waiter more misinformation laws.

Rickey Repenomamus 

071/365 #hunt the repenomamus

Had no idea what that was, but upon researching I found out it's sort of a prehistoric oddity- a mammal that hunted dinosaurs, as they found the smaller skeleton of a dinosaur inside of its stomach. It doesn't seem to have modern-day predecessors but it's been compared to opossums and badgers. I included a Sabretooth Pete too because I had some space and it helped ground it a bit more in the prehistoric setting I was looking for.

I am making 365 new versions of Mickey Mouse for the public domain and releasing them under public domain all year long.

You can join the initiative to #hunt the mouse or suggest a theme yourself via my ask box.

4 YEARS.

4 YEARS OF SEARCHING. OF FINDING SMALL FOSSILS AND CLUSTERS. OF DIGGING FOR HOURS. OF NEARLY FALLING OFF TOO MANY CLIFFS INTO THE OCEAN. OF BLOODY FINGERS AND BRUISED FEET.

I did it! I found him! :D

media that paints weird freaky looking dinosaurs and pterosaurs as evil horror monsters (like therizinosaurus or quetzacoatlus northropi or hatzegopteryx (i guess people got tired of doing that for t rex?)) is so mean they are literally my friends

Ötzi the Iceman

Ötzi, an ancient mummified human body [man aged 25 to 35, about 1.6 m (5 feet 2 inches) tall and about 50 kg], found preserved by the Similaun Glacier, the Tirolean Ötztal Alps, on the Italian-Austrian border, on September 19, 1991.

The world's oldest tattoos [recorded]. The graphic shows the general location of each of the 61 tattoos on the Iceman’s body. (Photograph: South Tyrol Museum of Archeology/EURAC/Samadelli/Staschitz

Aaron Deter-Wolf (prehistoric archaeologist) suggests that a single-point puncture tool, tipped with carbon pigment, might have been the method behind Otzi's tattoos.

Cesare, and the underworld by extension, believes Steve caused the Kellwasser event, a global extinction event, on purpose, and the set up a sytem of Watchers to monitor the planet for other trickster entities so no similar event ever happens again. They've been monitoring Steve under the Earth ever since (hence the line from DOWN "Chaos Gods Rise From The Deep", they believe Steve is a god of chaotic destruction), and make him Cesare's #1 priority when they sense that he's heading back up to the Earth's surface. Cesare genuinely believes Steve is an evil entity bent on wiping out life on the planet for a second time, which is why he doesn't pull his punches when trying to catch him. However, Cesare begins to doubt what he's held as truth for a thousand years when Steve shows a lack of knowledge/understanding of the fact that he's been under the ground for millions of years (if Steve was unconscious all that time, it could have seemed like only a moment that he was down there) and also calling into question whether or not Steve even remembers/intentionally caused the extinction event in the first place. If this is the case we'll just have to wait and see how Cesare reacts to finding out that he's been "living" a lie for the past thousand years. Him saying "Did you not know?" in response to Steve's confusion while in his jail cell makes me think he may possibly have a change of heart. I doubt the Underworld will take Steve's word at face value, obviously, but Cesare seemed convinced, or at least willing to be convinced, for a moment there.

I know that people brought up how Baxcalibur is based on Concavenator, but I feel like it should be worth noting that this is our first Pokemon based on a carcharodontosaurid theropod of any kind.
