Every time George Lucas is captured on camera I get the impression of a newly discovered type of herbivorous megafauna blinking into the light of its discoverers flash-light. He has a very serene aura in general

I will absolutely hunt down all the Japanese bears, genuinely going to other countries and hunting their megafauna to extinction is one of the things Americans really excel at.

I kind of thought it was a dick move in general, but hey, if it gets rid of my problem, fair trade. 🤝

Hank is a pre-historic group of large mammals, often called megafauna, which died out between 10 and 11 thousand years ago largely due to hunting by early humans in the Americas.

Starting 2026 strong with the first #MetagenomicsMonday 🧬post this year! Its 1976, deer remains are found in a Toronto subway and its antlers look.. well, different! 🦌 Is it an extinct megafauna species that disappeared by the end of ice age?📄

i spent my "become a greek mythology kid or ancient egypt kid or horse girl" years just constantly playing pretend instead of studying a topic, but i very easily COULD have been a joan of arc kid or an ice age megafauna kid

Un análisis de 300 estudios concluye que la caza humana fue clave en la extinción de la megafauna del Pleistoceno, más que el clima. aidoo.news/noticia/62Bqe6 #Ciencia #HistoriaNatural
Los grandes mamíferos del pasado no cayeron por el clima: la caza humana inclinó la balanza hasta hacerlos desaparecer
Los grandes mamíferos pleistocenos, como mamuts, rinocerontes lanudos, perezosos gigantes y felinos de colmillo, dominaron muchos continentes y desempeñaron pap

...I see a Thriae fighting a ~Qoelu~ megafauna. I've strongly considered putting Thriae on #Castrovel. We already have Formians. The #Lashunta with their antennae aren't too far off, either.

So, being monomorphs, whom would the Thriae be seeking out to find a male to meet their queen's needs?

me, the pierrot archetype facing a megafauna hoard of harlequins in the midst of the dream bunker:

> uncasing a longer hat, silver-glazed, each button a conquered moon <

> a scroll in my hand, read by a forbidden tongue from prophecies long-buried <

' i salute you, old friend. one last time '
head to the dream bunkers. there's an oneirowarning- tulpas, egregores, and harlequin archetypes are prowling the streets like ancient megafauna

the princess character is also a dinosaur* nerd T_T

thank you, Ys VIII, truly a masterstroke

*they're called primordials here and encompass pretty much all prehistoric megafauna, it seems

The New Age of Reptiles is my alternate history speculative evolution project, detailing a world where the K/PG impact was delayed by several hours. The result is an entirely different biota, where a diverse set of reptiles form the bulk of the world's megafauna. Stay tuned for more! (8/10)

I Owe This Land a Body is one year old today.

I'm another Deinonychus fan, to the point where it became the basis for my dinosaur themed superhero, Scales.

I would regularly check out the dinosaur and ice age megafauna books from my elementary school library, and the deinonychus one was one of my favorites.

Maybe eating enough gummies to put thousands of megafauna into a green-induced coma wasn't the best idea.... Good thing Set's parents were able to compensate his college for eating

One more Set piece before I lock in on comms again ughhhh

Feline megafauna of some kind. Like if I had to buy the whole zoo just to put my house next to it, that would be fine.
if you could have one absolutely ridiculous thing in your house, money is no issue, what would you add?

"Adaptive" spacesuit that progressively fuses to your body and transforms you into a species of semi-sentient native megafauna, including breeding urges

...It is a magicless fantasy world, where many of the creatures are meant to either mirror or outright pull from odd creatures from our own world. Megafauna abound and are probably the most frequent creature-like things, though there are occasional nods to other creatures that I'm looking forward...

...One is ~qoelu~ - megafauna, of which the Yaruk and Nysshalora from #Starfinder come to mind. There are also things that slither through the darkfloor or climb upward among the boughs, waiting for a fade-deer, wild Shota, or even a #Lashunta picking berryworts...
