Making characters out of extinct bison. I made a brown version for the actual Bison Latifrons animal, the purple one may or may not get iterated on and become a character.

Bison latifrons, also known as the giant bison or long-horned bison, is an extinct species of bison that lived in North America during the Pleistocene epoch ranging from Alaska to Mexico. It was the largest and heaviest bovid ever to live in North America. It thrived in North America for about 200,000 years, but became extinct some 20,000–30,000 years ago, at the beginning of the last glacial maximum. (Source: Wikipedia.)

I sometimes see these Magnificent beasts in my dreams.

Ok so I’m really tired and overworked so it’s not going to be a very detailed example filled post but honestly I just don’t believe the spinosaurus could have ever swam

And if it did, it probably like drifted a little bit with its tail as a paddle, but seriously, swim??

I heard this theory about a year ago and it still annoys me to think about

Lets start with their necks- they had s shaped necks which are very much not ideal for swimming or catching prey in water

Second of all, despite people claiming they had a “sail” like spinal structure, Stromer E already claimed it’s shape to be more hump like rather than the sail like, meaning it probably wasn’t used for swimming-

The structure may also have been more hump-like than sail-like, as noted by Stromer in 1915 ("one might rather think of the existence of a large hump of fat [German: Fettbuckel], to which the [neural spines] gave internal support") and by Jack Bowman Bailey in 1997. In support of his "buffalo-back" hypothesis, Bailey argued that in Spinosaurus, Ouranosaurus, and other dinosaurs with long neural spines, the spines were relatively shorter and thicker than the spines of pelycosaurs (which were known to have sails); instead, the dinosaurs' neural spines were similar to the neural spines of (!!!!) extinct hump-backed mammals such as Megacerops and Bison latifrons. In 2014, Ibrahim and colleagues instead posited that the spines were covered tightly by skin, similar to a crested chameleon, given their compactness, sharp edges, and likely poor blood flow.

^^Their neural spine structure had been compared to many prehistoric mammals such as the mammoth rather than amphibians of any kind

Their hind legs were short at 25% of their body length (also not ideal for swimming) and had been hypothesized to be webbed (for walking across an unsteady substrate rather than for swimming)

I could go on and on but I think that’s enough and also I’m very tired I’m going to sleep now have a good night

If anyone wants to debate/share more interesting info with me feel free to do so I’d love talking to you guys about stuff like that

Enjoy this digital model of a spino floating I guess

Because floating isn’t swimming, and the spinosaurus definitely couldn’t swim, or at the very least swim well

“It’s a Cold, Cold, Cold, Cold World” — (#2) 

Story concept about prehistoric life in N. America set at the end of the Last Glacial Maximum and by the last of the great Missoula floods.

A tribe of humans experiencing the last of the Missoula glacial floods. There are four plots: 1) a grandmother and her eldest grandchild struggling to keep up w/ the tribe who are now on the move to the mountains w/ the increase in water flow downriver of the ice dam, meanwhile, 

2) the father (son of grandmother) and mother searching for their 2nd son before the dam ruptures.

3) The youngest sibling out on a hunt, the tribe’s right of passage, on his own. Is completely unaware of the situation and is heading right in the direction of the ice dam, following a deer he had failed to kill several times. His story is shadowed by a raven watching from afar.

4) At this time, we follow a pair of mammoths who've fallen behind their herd. Following the death of a calf’s mother, she is taken under the care of her aunt. As for the timeline, starts in late summer/autumn, then winter, and ends by springtime as the weather warms up.

...

Artist’s Notes: Title is a nod to the film, “It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World”. Went over a few different design choices for the sabre-tooth. From big lips to the more traditional toothy grin (as it seems indecisive for the moment). From short hair to shaggy, almost lion-like mane fur coverage.

me: hey google can you show me a height comparison of a human and a Bison bison bison

google: Bison latifrons? you want Bison latifrons, huh? this prehistoric bison is what you're looking for, you stupid piece of shit? Bison fucking latifrons?

[savageboar]

also speaking of bison y'all wanna see one of my favorite prehistoric animals, Bison latifrons?

only skull and horn fossils have been found in good condition, but based on leg bones that have been found it's estimated to be 25-50% larger than Bison bison (modern american bison), making it the largest known bovid. its horns on average measure 84in from tip to tip. it's like if a texas longhorn was into strongman competitions. it is only rivaled in mass by modern giraffes and the Pelorovis in terms of being the largest ruminant.
