🦇 Another awesome commission! This one features two Late Eocene Egyptian giant bats- Aegyptonycteris (with the fruit) and Witwatia. Both of them were around the size of the extant Spectral Bat (the largest living carnivorous bat). #paleoart

A fun little comic I commissioned @astrapionte.bsky.social for. Many thanks to him for illustrating this concept I thought up!
You know how orcas, pilot whales and co. are called “blackfish”? Well for beaked whales, I’m proposing “blackbeaks”. #cetacea #procreate #digitalart

KRETACEOUS KRAKENS - Nanaimoteuthis Two absolutely gigantic, 9-61 ft cirrate octopuses - related to dumbo octos - were discussed in a paper published yesterday! They found them to be high-level predators with powerful beaks suggesting durophagy! #paleoart
