The Sahara can reach temperatures of over 100°F, but the fennec fox’s ears act like an air conditioning system by cooling the blood in a network of veins.

Was I the only one who thought that they were the same character???? It was a long time ago when I stopped watching Ben 10 and decided to check Omniverse after a long time of not being touched by the Ben 10 lore...
When I saw Billy I thought that he was Edwin because... for some reason, my brain got them mixed. Bad on me because looking closely I can see how stupid I was and the big necessity of glasses...
But still, I think that the addition of Billy is dumb (my opinion)

alphys, since you're the scientist, tell me: are monsters omnivores, carnivores, or herbivores?
Hm! I can relate to that. When I had a physical body, I was lactose-intolerant. Now that I have a magical body, however, I am not bound by such restrictions!

Korr, a large beast of the Koolunku homeworld. It is usually found by itself or in a small group. Korr are omnivores, with tough plant matter consisting a larger part of their diet. But they will not skip out on an occasional morsel of easy prey or scavanged meat.
They aren't very friendly and will not hesitate to attack any other critter that wanders too close.

Here's my fifth and final piece (for now) of my evolved dinosaurs series. This is a family of evolved Troodontids nestled around a fire while taking shelter from the rain while two members return from hunting and gathering.
Troodontids had the largest brain to body ratio of any dinosaur group though their actual intelligence is assumed to be more akin to average birds than the smartest species (corvids & parrots). However, if they never went extinct, some members of this categorically messy group could evolve higher intelligence over another 66 million years as a result of changes of climate over time. The caveat being that it would probably be much slower for them than for primates, largely due to possessing anatomical trains that reduce the need for tools or make certain tools difficult to craft/use. By present day, their intelligence is at a similar level to Homo Erectus, being able to create simple tools and even fire for warmth & simple cooking. Anatomically, they more resemble modern birds with shorter tails (appearing longer due to tail feathers) & beaks though they retain the teeth & sickle claws of their ancestors which they still use for hunting. Their arms are proportionally long and end with flexible hands equipped with opposable thumbs. Their most used tools are carved hand axes for butchering meat and grass woven baskets for carrying items (such as edible plants) and trapping fish*.
This series was initially spun off from one of my story ideas (Gladius) where multiple timelines merge together with one of them being where the KT extinction event never happened. Having drawn these guys I now thinking of adding one to the line up of characters from said story.
As always, comments and critiques are welcome.
*the trapping fish was inspired by a scene from an old Animal Planet special The Future is Wild were a future monkey species called Babookari weave crude baskets and set them in rivers to trap fish looking for shade from the hot sun.
