Illustration of Meraxes gigas, a family animal of Giganotosaurus and Tyrannotitan, a large Carcharodontosaurus from Argentina, with a characteristic Claw on the Hind Leg that differentiates it a bit from its nearby relatives.

I made this Illustration of Meraxes shortly after it was Described

South America, elevation map on Spectral tint.

We have created four colour variants for this continent and would like this combination to become standard.

The red area shows the highest mountains, the Cordillera de los Andes, while the plains are indicated with the colour petrol blue.

The Ya-te-veo of South America.

The Ya-te-veo, a carnivorous plant found in Central and South America, as well as in Africa and along the Indian Ocean shores, is described with variations. Most accounts highlight its short, thick trunk and long tendril-like appendages used for capturing prey, with some suggesting the presence of an eye to locate its prey.

This carnivorous tree is said to thrive in the secluded Tepui, a misty mesa in the Guiana Highlands of South America. On this rarely-visited terrain, a unique shrub, known to the native tribes as the Ya-te-veo or "I See You" Tree, has evolved with a particular fondness for human flesh.

The locals harbored a deep fear of the Ya-te-veo, associating it with ominous signs and attributing it to malevolent witch doctor magic. In 1881, intrepid explorer Carl Liche recounted a chilling story of this dreadful tree, the Ya-Te-Veo, believed to feast upon the Mdoko tribe of Madagascar.

The German vividly recounted a horrifying encounter as the plant ensnared its victim: "Slender, delicate palpi, resembling starved serpents, quivered briefly over her head. Then, with a demon-like intelligence, they coiled around her neck and arms. Amidst her harrowing screams and laughter, the tendrils, akin to formidable green serpents, ruthlessly rose, retracted, and encased her in folds. Each tightening with the savage speed and tenacity of anacondas seizing their prey."

New Blog. Who Were the Original Native Americans?

“It would be an irony, indeed, to find that Americans ‘discovered’ Europe many centuries before Europeans ‘discovered’ America. But the whole notion of any race (European, African, or American) discovered a full-blown civilization is absurd. Such notions should now be abandoned once and for all. They presume some innate superiority in the ‘discoverer’ and something inferior and barbaric in the people ‘discovered.’ These notions run through the works even of pioneers like Wiener, Cauvet and Jeffreys. What I have sought to prove is not that Africans ‘discovered’ America, but that they made contact on at least half a dozen occasions, two of which were culturally significant for Americans.” – Dr. Ivan Van Sertima, author of They Came Before Columbus: The African Presence in Ancient America
