Example of how our perception of very different kinds of aquatic animals changed as more discoveries were made over the decades

Basilosaurus (cetacea) Paleogene / Elasmosaurus (Sauropterygia) Cretaceous / Mosasaurus (Squamata) Cretaceous

Many more examples in my videos dedicated to this topic

Hi there,

Perucetus Colossus, the newly described basilosaur from the Eocene of Peru, probably the heaviest animal on earth

Yo I nearly didn't realize it was International Ace Day, and THEN I nearly forgot I had this art I did a few years ago, and honestly not only do I need to finish this set (Paleo-pride, all Paleo critters in fun pride colors!) but I also just need to share them more bc I'm very proud of them???

Anyway, pls enjoy this BasilACEsaur!!!

Enjoy

I chose basilosaurus because it seemed like the devil’s fish

A fossilized tooth of an indeterminate basilosaurid, possibly Basilosaurus isis from the Samlat Formation in Dakhla, Morocco. It is unclear if the larger teeth from these ancient whales can be attributed to Basilosaurus.

Did another lorge whale warmup lol I'm really taken with the idea of a huge benthic whale. I think it's because I've always been rather taken with steller's sea cows too. I hope more fossils are found, I'd love a skill to confirm what kind of diet it had :'3

Mermay 2023: Marine Biology Inspired Merwhales

Another year, another Mermay! And that means continuing my series of Marine Biology inspired merfolk for Beast Fables! This week's theme was "Biggest of the Big", aka Merwhales!

In the world of Urvara (where Beast Fables takes place in), they're a revered group, since most Merwhales don't have permanent homes and tend to travel around the world. Their calls can be heard for miles/kilometers around, with the loudest even going from end of the earth to the other.

This great global reach means that Whalespeak, the language of Merwhales, is the single most common language among Merfolkdom, something that can connect everyone from the chilliest of the poles to the deepest abyss.

And now, for the merfolk themselves:

Harald the Hammer: A Sperm Whale, and the local guardian of Kara's town.

Alva the Blind Wanderer: A Bowhead Whale, and world-travelling elder, who offers wisdom to those that need it.

Julia the Songweaver: A Humpback Whale, who sings songs of whatever gets her fancy.

Toby "Tobias" the Stongemason: A Right Whale, and a man that builds houses. He'll offfer ya a good deal if you let him talk all about his (often inane) stories about the joys of stoneworking.

Balian the Wordsmith: A Basilosaurus and the man that wrote the Syllabary for Merwhale language, and thus a founder some of the biggest parts of Merfolk culture.

The Blue Whale Twins, Ataahua and Aata: Twins who have very different jobs in life. One is a student of Alva and a healer, and SO utterly selfless, she may even help shipwrecked landlubbers (tales of a giant blue woman-whale are deemed crazy by werebeasts). Said landlubbers were probably shipwrecked in the first place by her brother Aata, who punches holes in 'em. Gotta do his part to keep Merfolk society a secret after all!

As you've probably seen, most Merwhales don't refer to their surnames often. It is their deeds that tend to inform of their identity, regardless of blood.
