btw this is a fully-lipped thylacosmilus propaganda fan blog. i will always believe.

#rain art #paleoart #thylacosmilus #but that doesn’t make sense! you shout. it wouldn’t be biologically viable! you cry. wrong. i have my reasons.

Probably fiddle with it because I'm completely unable to leave things alone, but I think I'm done with it- Thylacosmilus

Thylacosmilus atrox, an extinct metatherian mammal that superficially resembles the saber-toothed felids, but is instead related to modern marsupials.

Man I fucking love paleo. Do you know what the diet deal of a Walrus is? They break open mollusks and suck out the insides. Imagine if you take that design and function and put it on land. Giant tusks for stabbing and a lack of upper incisors for swift suction.

Thylacosmilus was likely a scavenger designed to eat guts in a rather peculiar fashion

Note that Thylacosmilus and Smilodon are not closely related. Thylacosmilus comes from the same tree as marsupials and is much, much older. Very fascinated with how the lower jaw evolves with the sabers

#Raptor Chatter has a 20m video on this creature which is where I'm coming from #.txt #paleontology #thylacosmilus #I love Creatures I love being able to look at something and identify it's purpose it's fantastic #reminded once more to draw more freaks #I don't think I've ever posted when I obsess over.

Thylacosmilus

(temporal range: 9-3 mio. years ago)

[text from the Wikipedia article, see also link above]

Thylacosmilus is an extinct genus of saber-toothed metatherian mammals that inhabited South America from the Late Miocene to Pliocene epochs. Though Thylacosmilus looks similar to the "saber-toothed cats", it was not a felid, like the well-known North American Smilodon, but a sparassodont, a group closely related to marsupials, and only superficially resembled other saber-toothed mammals due to convergent evolution. A 2005 study found that the bite forces of Thylacosmilus and Smilodon were low, which indicates the killing-techniques of saber-toothed animals differed from those of extant species. Remains of Thylacosmilus have been found primarily in Catamarca, Entre Ríos, and La Pampa Provinces in northern Argentina.

Small doodle I made this morning. A Thylacosmilus has its eyes on a Toxodont carcass but can't get to it himself. He eagerly waits for an Argentavis to notice and open it up for him.

Despite having eyes as wide-set as a cow's and surprisingly long upper-canine teeth with roots tunneling deep into its skull, the "marsupial sabertooth" proved to be an effective carnivore, a new study finds.

This ferocious marsupial is an extinct mammal from South America scientifically known as Thylacosmilus atrox. Scientists from Argentina and the United States examined computed tomography (CT) scans of the skulls of three of the large predators, which would have weighed roughly 220 pounds (100 kilograms) and went extinct about 3 million years ago. The team noticed that the animal's odd cranial anatomy stood out compared with other carnivores, such as dogs and cats, whose eyes are more forward-facing to help them track prey, according to the study published Tuesday (March 21) in the journal Communications Biology.

Miniatura de Pampaphoneus por Vitor Silva, links para a fonte da imagem e seu blog após a descrição

Oh yeah aquela comparação de predadores de dentição diferenciada novamente, porém com a reviravolta de ambos serem sul americanos e portanto latino se quiser puxar tal definição.

Inicialmente planejava comparar os Estados Unidos e Rússia decorrente de uma fala que ouvir durante uma aula sobre a Guerra Fria relacionada a queda da Urss: ambos estão no mesmo hemisfério, possuem as mesmas quatro estações, fauna (ursos, lobos,raposa,cervos entre outros) e ainda sim só um sobrou para contar a historia, contudo ao pesquisar pelas imagens passei a considerar outras coisas e mudando o rumo deste trabalho. Em certo ponto recordei dos exemplos de conveniência evolutiva entre o Smilodon vulgo Tigre dentes de Sabre e Thylacosmilus.

Escolhi juntar-lo ao caçador mais antigo conhecido no Brasil até esse momento, colocar um trecho da música e pronto, temos essa colagem! Já sobre a ideia original tornou-se Ficando ao seu Lado e irei proclamando da forte possibilidade de usar-la em um futuro próximo, mas com o Canadá de Hetalia envolvido, literalmente a maioria de suas piadas envolve sua extrema semelhança ao burguês safado.

Em questão da Miniatura aqui está a página dele do ArtStation:

Fortemente recomendo visitarem o blog do Vitor Silva! ele é um excelente paleoartista e está por aqui na net por mais de uma década e o respeito por isso, além disso podem ver suas ilustrações sobre diversos bichinhos extintos bem como suas outras miniaturas:

《 The North & The South 》

A long, long time ago, there were two nations: the North Nation and the South Kingdom.

The northern continent was like a thriving sprawling city, one where skyscrapers could be seen throughout the horizon, the tallest of which being the Felis Tower, the same tower where the proud president Smilodon resides...

The south, on the other hand was a much more like quaint peaceful town, most houses and other establishment were very humble in appearance, with the exception of the Phorus Palace, home of lone emperor Kelenken...

The ending of this story might already written in stone, but this old tale deserves to be revived to be told once more.

Thylacosmilus atrox was a sparassodontan mammal from the Late Miocene and Pliocene of South America. Sparassodonts were metatherians, cousins of the marsupials and distantly related to placental mammals. Metatherians convergently evolved many forms similar to placental mammals, and in the case of Thylacosmilus they evolved teeth similar to saber-toothed cats, which they kept protected in sheaths made from flanges extending off their lower jaw.
