Thank you!✨️ Yea shoebills are very prehistoric looking, I love them! I hope by more people learning about them we can help protect them and undo the harm done to them by humans so they can truly thrive 💚

Thank you! They're such wonderful animals! ✨️

Sketchbook with loose drawings of a tylosaurus skull from different angles, and a Plesiosaur skeleton at the top.

Some sketches while at a museum, a tylosaurus skull and a Plesiosaur skeleton :)

Does it still count as life drawing if you're drawing bones 🤔

Gonna try to be more consistent on Bluesky again

Wanted to do a lil drawing of the recent Haolong Dongi. I imagined it fluffing out its spines when startled like how a cat would with its fur. Probably not accurate, but I still like it :)

Human artists, use only one piece of art to convince people to follow you ✨️🦖

Northern Bald Ibis in color

Northern Bald Ibis line art

The endangered Northern Bald Ibis (Geronticus eremita)! Their silly appearance is matched by their latin name, which roughly translates to "old man desert hermit".

Wild populations are limited to Morocco, though their numbers have been improving with the help of reintroduction programs :)

Bearded Vulture! (Gypaetus barbatus)

These guys are the only known vertebrate with a diet that consists of up to 90% pure bone.

They also "dye" their body feathers shades of rust with dust or mud. This behavior is thought to be cosmetic. ✨️
