I love this so muchhhhhh

teaaaa

Cartoon diagram of a silhouetted Brachiosaurus vomiting as two small theropods run away from the impact site, text reads as such: "Brachiosaurus projectile vomiting: forces generated and resulting traces: Assuming 50 kg (110 lbs) of regurgitant, impact velocity from 14 m (45 ft) height, and hard-packed sand as impact site." At the bottom of the figure, it reads: "Impact velocity = V = V 2gh = 16.6 m/s; kinetic energy before impact = 6,860 J, Average impact force = 68,600 N."

Thanks, Matthew! I'm amazed how that figure (which I drew, calculated, & wrote for the book) still pops up on social media more than 12 years later. It was partly inspired by a superb "penguin poo" figure in a peer-reviewed article, only from an "other end" perspective. 🧪🦕🤮

Photo of a Berlin fox lady, curious about what we would be up to.

Today at Berlin Botanical Garden, we met the sister of the fox we saw last week (who was present also). She was even more curious, came very close. Tried to catch a mouse later, but the mouse was smarter - made it to a hollow tree after some minutes, sending this lady trotting off in frustration. ❤️🦊

That was such a cool encounter and I'm especially impressed with the brave little mouse! Mouse POV below.

Was not expecting that last sentence.

One of the best art teams in the world were all laid off yesterday. If you're hiring concept artists, you have your pick of *literally* some of the best artists currently working, who haven't been available in a decade+. I know some of them personally, and would eagerly recommend all of them.

Sea snakes can be very curious about people, and sometimes you pick up an unscheduled dive buddy for half the dive

Went and caught the cute flower thief from our balcony we noticed a while ago. She was indeed a little Yellow-Necked Mouse, right in the center of Berlin, on a 1st floor balcony. She now lives in a park near Spree river, after being fed and and warmed up properly. Good luck, little lady! ❤️🐁

There she is, the little thief. Relocated peacefully and ethically by my darling.

We live on the 1st floor in a major city. No balcony, just enough space for a handful of flower pots. A mouse started stealing my hyacinths one by one, we've literally seen it carry them off. I'm down to 2 flowers currently. This is this year's tiny spring drama.

Mongolians you say

It looks like eating enough would have been so frustrating for these guys ;_;

That is truly one of the faces of all time.

We made a new friend today. 🤣 Berlin City Foxes are something else entirely. Not a care in the world, tagging along humans, passing you by not 1.5ft away, checking out if you have something to eat for them, and otherwise flopping onto their sides in the grass, basking in the Spring sunlight. ❤️🦊

YAAAYYY😭

My new slippers!

that was probably the worst post one of those fake "starving children" accounts could have randomly picked to retweet, yet here we are

If you fight one, they attack quite viciously but make the most adorable little "meep" sounds, I just can't!

You can make them wear hats too 😂 I think I like the steampunk one.

Ark ASA screenshot with three glorious glowing ladybug amphipods inside my base. The largest one is the dominion variant, the white is the regular variant and the floating one is a chibi pet.

The tek saddle of the ladybug dominion, enveloping the creature snugly and sporting lots of extra lights and cannons.

I've missed these little goobers so much! Tamed myself some ladybug #amphipods in #TaeniaStella, ASA version. The dominion variant now has a tek saddle, it's so funny! #arksurvivalascended

That's a great photo!

EVERYONE, WISH THE BBIES WELL ON THEIR HATCHING!!! aAAAAA it's finally happening!!

Oh to be a little Tardigrade walking around a microscopic volvox algae colony. 🫧🐻🧪

Unusual palaeoart. The trilobite kite was designed by Ma Qinghua, with body measuring 3 meters.
