Here's a T. Rex bored to death trying to bite their own tail. My partner asked me to animate it in stop motion, after she watched a video about the very important topic of "could T. Rex chew its own tail like a dog". The puppet is still a work in progress 🦖

Cats: Predators to Pets opens at the Field Museum tomorrow. I hope the story of how this exhibit came to be can one day be told because it is wild. For now, I think my colleagues' work speaks for itself! Also, this exhibit may just include a human-sized cat tree & a chance to pose with salad cat.

What an amazing little kitty! A palaeontological dream come true - a three-week old sabertooth kitten was preserved in the Siberian permafrost. Surprisingly, even bleached by millenia in the soil, the fur is still a pretty dark brown. In life, it might have been nearly black.

Three small illustrated portraits showing the head of a sabertooth (Homotherium) kitten from three angles. The cub has blue eyes, chocolate brown fur and a white tuft of hair on the chin. It closely resembles a lion cub in proportions, but has a more robust snout, smaller ears and a round forehead.
