As a Wise Pirate from the stars said, "They can fly."

From previous fossils, they already knew the dinosaur had asymmetric feathers, which are vital to creating thrust in modern, flying birds. But the hard slab of limestone around this specimen had also preserved a key layer of feathers called tertials that had never been documented before in Archaeopteryx.

“It’s important that this is the first time these feathers have been seen,” John Nudds, a paleontologist at the University of Manchester in England who didn’t participate in the study, tells the Guardian’s Hannah Devlin. “These new feathers seen in this beautifully preserved specimen—as well as the asymmetric feathers—confirms it could fly.”

She could fly!

Which ever side cracks open first.

I know some of you are normal civilized people and some of you are irredeemable barbarians, I just to know what the distribution is. Therefore…

should it please the court, i use many of these words and other like chicanery, tomfoolery, nitwit and the phrase great googly moogly.

Actually people should say “rubbish” more. And also “nonsense”, “gibberish”, and “balderdash” too.

On the left, wyverns! Up to 15 ft (4.6 m) long, 1000 lbs (454 kg), and experts at grappling and carrying people! They're also venomous, so careful of that stinger! They're cruel, actively avoiding helping others, and usually speaking only to taunt and torment. However, they can be convinced to work with people if provided with food and entertainment (they especially love grim humor). They're also pretty dumb, but given they have the strength of a polar bear and the resilience to hunt by crash-landing on top of people, I guess they don't need to be clever!

On the right, the Flame Drake! These 12 ft (3.7 m) draconic creatures creatures have the violence and territorial behavior of red dragons but intelligence barely above an ogre. They form groups called "rampages" and work fairly well with the few they have respect for. They breathe fireballs, and like all drakes can kick themselves into overdrive for brief moments to operate at double speed. They're fairly strong too, bit stronger than a brown bear, and thier strong points being Acrobatics and Athletics means they're pretty flexible and great at grappling!

To anyone who follows me, I don't care about nor trust Colossal Biosciences anymore (The people behind the "Wooly Mice"). They have proven themselves to be headline-chasing grifters after this latest stunt. They are claiming to have de-extincted *Aenocyon dirus*, aka the Dire Wolf, by editing just 20 genes from the the DNA of a Grey Wolf (*Canis lupus*) to make this thing:

If it wasn't clear from their scientific names, Grey Wolves and Dire Wolves aren't remotely related to one another aside from being Canids, despite what pop culture like Game of Thrones would have you believe. If they did look like each other, it would have had to be via convergent evolution, as they only shared a common ancestor over 5 million years ago.

This distinction, however, isn't found in the publicized articles about this so-called resurrected Dire Wolf and makes their claim that they brought the Dire Wolf back by simply editing *20* genes from the genome of a Grey Wolf laughable. A Dire Wolf would have shared more in common genetically with a Maned Wolf (*Chrysocyon brachyurus*) or Bush Dog (*Speothos venaticus*) than it would with a Grey Wolf.

Bottom line, don't fall for whatever this company is trying to tell you. If the Dire Wolf were to be brought back, it wouldn't be via something like this, and certainly wouldn't *look* like this. If you want an idea as to how a real Dire Wolf would look like in life, here is some fantastic paleoart by artist Mauricio Antón:

Addendum: I seem to have partially miscalculated Dire Wolf genetics. They were not closer to Maned Wolves or Bush Dogs, but they were still not closely related to Grey Wolves. They were basal members of Canini, related to canids like Jackals (genus Lupulella) but distinct from them. I am sorry for this misinformation in my attempt to correct other misinformation. My main point, however, is still correct.

Just wanna bite her head off and be done with it. We get it Rowling, you're a raggedy ass homophobe and hater. And your magic school is basic as shit.

Hey remember when people on this site were absolutely insane about asexuals saying they’re a Trojan horse to sneak in homophobic straight people into the lgbt community or whatever and now JKR is making the same lazy edgelord jokes about asexual people

imma throw him.

Imma be honest with you mate, Tango looks extremely chuckable so it might be best to keep him a safe distance from me if you don't want him to be yeeted to who knows where.

Please do not throw the Tango Tek. Hold him gently in your hands and cherish him.

Just wanted to show off some of my tames

Feel free to send me an ask if you're curious about them. For those wondering about the build, it was from this:

with the original wood replaced with dead wood, hellbark, and pale oak.
