A lovely blog to read in the morning with a cup of tea. Very nice. I think Gabriel Ugeuoto's reconstruction is perhaps my favourite, aswell as it stands up to date with the recent phylogentic paper, being so, well, koala-like!

Archaeologists are gonna find that room someday and say, “Pharaoh Naishankhamun collected thousands of animal effigies in his (presumed burial) chamber. It is believed these ushabtis would aid the renowned researcher in the different geological layers of the Underworld.”

A section of this oak has grown outwards into Peartree Avenue and supports giant beefsteak fungus. Fortunately the council have modified the road to allow space for the tree (and the fungi), a rare win.

GenAI has polluted image search results, especially for animal pics. It’s now basically impossible to find accurate art references.

Enter this: a repository of open-access, AI-free images of wild & exotic taxa. Artists creating *without AI* have blanket permission for derivative/transformative use.
