Homotherium cub!!!!

On November 14th, a paper was released describing a mummified 3 week-old homotherium cub discovered in Yakutia, Russia.

WE CAN FINALLY SEE A SABRE-TOOTH CAT IN THE FLESH!!! It's an incredibly remarkable find!

I wanted to try drawing it. Based it off what 3 week-old lion and tiger cubs look. Chubby and round. Homotherium has a sloping back. The mummy showed it has a thick, furry neck, shorter face, and a little tuft of long hair at the chin.

The paper is available here:

Hello skinny tgirl. Lately you've been complaining that your tits aren't growing. In front of you is a plate of food.

the universe continues to debuff my prowess

I could've done my whole foreign language class in an hour, if it wasn't the exam isn't available to be scheduled.

oh well, I must say I am flattered, tho. For it to go so far to nerf again... it truly fears me overcoming myself, don't it? depression, anxiety, health issues... it truly fears giving me socks and me using them to be a menace xD
