#sabertooth cat

[amnhnyc]

Smile like Smilodon, because it’s Fossil Friday! This saber-tooth cat roamed the Americas during the Pleistocene, and went extinct some 10,000 years ago. Scientists estimate that its signature teeth, which could reach lengths of 7 in (18 cm), grew at the rapid speed of .24 in (6 mm) per month—double the growth rate of an African lion’s teeth. To unsheathe these knife-like canines, Smilodon could open its jaws twice as wide as today’s big cats.

You can spot this fearsome predator in the Museum’s Hall of Primitive Mammals. We're open daily from 10 am–5:30 pm! Plan your visit.

Xenosmilus hodsonae

Florida's own machairodont, with a body similar to Smilodon and a head like Homotherium. The attachments for the temporalis muscles on the cranium of X. hodsonae is larger than that of the genus Homotherium, giving Xenosmilus a more devastating bite. Art made by me, colored pencils.

The pic I took of it came out way too blurry due to my device :(

Hello reader, and hello to who this drawing is of, (if that person is reading this)

I don't wanna get too emotional, but this is a drawing of my gf I made a while ago before we broke up.

--(I dont like to draw humans that much, which is why I drew her as a furry. I've made her a few different fursonas. Making people fursonas is how I show my love haha.)

I don't usually like to share personal things, so I won't be share details and names will remain anonymous.

It's been a few months since we broke up, and we were together for over a year. This was the first REAL relationship I've ever been in. I've been in multiple relationships in the past but none that felt this deep. This person had shown me what it is like to really love someone, and I thank them for that. It just hurts that they no longer feel that way about me. But that's fine. I don't hate them for it. I just hope that whoever else they end up with makes them happy. That's all I ever wanted for them because I do still love them. It will probably take a while longer for me to fully let go.

I'm posting this artwork as a way to help that, to help me let go. I've had this artwork piled in a stack of "to post" artworks for so long, so I felt finally going through with posting it would be healing.

I've also been working on an animation about this breakup as something else to help me out of the depressed slump I was in. I will be posting it soon. I am doing a lot better now, so I don't need anyone to feel bad for me.

I don't really know how to end this, but I guess I wish everyone well, and I hope anyone going through the same thing has their heart healed soon❤️‍🩹

Saber-toothed Tiger:-

The saber-toothed tiger, commonly known as Smilodon, was a prehistoric predator that lived during the Ice Age, around 2.5 million to 10,000 years ago. Despite its name, it wasn’t closely related to modern tigers. Smilodon was known for its long, curved canine teeth, which could grow up to 11 inches. It had a powerful, muscular build, enabling it to take down large prey like bison and mammoths. These cats lived in North and South America, often hunting in packs. Climate change and the disappearance of large prey contributed to their extinction. Smilodon remains one of the most iconic prehistoric predators.

Astrid is too cool to care about being “cringe”.

She is free to like what ever she likes. She lives without needing to do things ironically <3

Fang is in disguise, blending in with my pumpkin patch! :D

The costume is kinda snug so I didn't leave it on very long.
