Decided not to color this one as I haven't been happy with how my previous pieces have turned out.
Indohyus (India's pig) was a small hoofed mammal that lived where the Himalayan mountains now stand during the early Eocene epoch, around 50 million years ago. Much like modern mousedeer and chevrotains, it's likely that Indohyus would dive into water and hide from predators like hawks under the surface. It had developed heavier bones to reduce buoyancy much like Hippos and other aquatic mammals.
Unbeknownst to Indohyus, this adaptation would lead its descendants to become the largest animals ever known.

Hello! Love your blog theme. #30 for the soft asks :)
also, I see that you’re studying education— what’s something in that field that’s of particular interest to you rn?
ahh it's really nice of you to ask, i love talking about my field of study❣ first of all, i'm generally much more interested in the part of a teacher's job that concerns "bringing up" children, instead of the teaching of specific subjects (though that's really neat too). and there are many things i find particularly fascinating about it, but one i think about a LOT (as an anarchist...) is the way we raise children to obey authority. i love it when kids encounter a rule and their immediate response is to ask "but why?"!!! it's something that adults should be asking (both themselves and others) way more as well & it's really sad how efficiently the instinct is purged from us growing up. there are rules at school that are genuinely necessary for the kids' safety (e.g. "no running in the hallways"), but even then, children should understand their point and feel like sticking to them is meaningful instead of being forced to obey. and shit like "no [activity other than sitting still] while the teacher is speaking" is literally so unnecessary... unless you want to admit that the school system is largely designed to mold children into a norm that shouldn't even exist. anyway, i could talk about this stuff for ages. :') 30. what reminds you of home? the way the air smells outside. the environment around every place i've called home has had a very distinct scent to me. also, as a kid i stuck a ton of pokémon card pack wrappers on the inside of the door of my room & they're still there to this day. i definitely get an "i'm home" feeling whenever i see them.

Currently re-reading Hunters Unlucky to refresh my memory before reading Legacy and wanted to draw a ferryshaft. I tried to draw one the first time I read the book, but it never quite turned out how I like.
With their omnivorous lifestyle, sharp teeth and hooves I imagine them as having evolved from something like Indohyus that re-evolved a land dwelling lifestyle instead of becoming fully aquatic. Since I can never help myself when it comes to thinking about this sort of thing while reading.
I really like these books! They are well paced, well thought out examples of xenofiction and I heavily recommend them to both newcomers and fans of the genre.
The Hunters universe belongs to @alhilton !

Hey just so you know, goats are even-toed ungulates of the order Artiodactyla which also includes whales, dolphins, and porpoises thanks to a common ancestor called the indohyus. The use of the term "even-toed ungulates" is meant to exclude the aquatic mammals, and the "even-toed" part refers to how many toes the animal's weight is distributed across, rather than the number of toes they actually have. Goats have cloven hooves which means their weight is distributed across two toes on each foot. Tapirs are also ungulates, but of the order Perissodactyla, for odd-toed ungulates, because their weight is not distributed evenly across their toes, but they have one larger toe on each foot that takes more weight. Their feet look soooooo silly. Equines (horses, donkeys, zebras) and rhinoceros are also odd-toed ungulates.
Also, you smell like beans.
Oh are they? Are they really? On god? You fr with that infodump you neurodivergent skank? Fuck you. I am going to hit you with an entire redwood tree, gonna make what global warming is doing to the polar bear’s a fucking joke
And I’ll make the goats watch.

I think I mentioned before how I’ve intended Enigma Beast’s species to be ambiguous? I mean, it’s in the name, hahaha. they look a bit like an early mammal like juramaia, or perhaps a civet. just. an ambiguous carnivore with a long body and relatively short legs.

Pakicetus (whale of Pakistan) may seem like a strange name for this wolf-like animal from around 50 million years ago, but in fact this relative of Indohyus is one of if not the earliest member of the clade Cetacea, the order of whales. Pakicetus was well adapted for a semi-aquatic lifestyle, with a sleek hydrodynamic build, heavy bones, and possibly webbed toes. As the name suggests, Pakicetus was endemic to Pakistan and fed on fish and other small animals in and around the water.

Shoutout to Carl Buell his indohyus and megistotherium paintings are probably my all time favourite pieces of paleoart
