here's today's #Paleostream sketches

today we drew Qianzhousaurus, Yezoteuthis, Shastasaurus, and Ptychodus

Just like the last time, all animals will behave as they would in nature (or as close to for all extinct species) the only difference is that your defender(s) will avoid causing friendly fire. However, any attempt to harm and/or eat your defender(s) will cause them to turn on you.

Also thought it wise to specify specific options to avoid confusion and people trying to bend the rules. (Sorry if I’m sounding like a party-pooper)

i just realised Odysseus did the Siren equivalent of Shark finning

can someone kill him please?

Common crow shark

Squalicorax falcatus

A species of anacoracid, Squalicorax falcatus (meaning "sickle-shaped shark raven") was a mid-sized predatory shark of Late Cretaceous seas that was a scavenger as much as an active predator.

Daily fish fact #465

Orthacanthus!

This extinct shark species grew to be around 3 meters (10~ feet) and inhabited swamps and other freshwater habitats! They had a spike on their head, which is suspected to have been used for protection.

not tryna make a judgment call but it is inchresting to me that there's a whole arc in ethersea where they're trying to prevent multiple extinctions of various species and literally blow up and murder people who are eagerly trying to usher in said extinctions. and then like 5 seconds later make the entire blink shark species go extinct

[lastingocean]

There are more than 1000 species of sharks and rays worldwide. Sharks are apex predators in the ocean and they keep the ecosystem balanced. With decreasing populations, many ecosystems are becoming unbalanced leading to an increase in species that otherwise would have low populations and increased invasive species with no predators.

Due to overfishing and bycatch, some species are on the verge of extinction. Some threatened species include:

The great white shark (classified as vulnerable)

Whale sharks (classified as endangered by the IUCN)

The great hammerhead (classified as critically endangered)

Dusky sharks are officially endangered. They are highly sought after for finning(a practice where fishermen catch and cut the fins from shark ,throw them back into the ocean defenseless to prey ,bleeding out and unable to properly float).

Sand tiger sharks are classified as critically endangered. They have 1-2 pups every two to three’s years making it much more harder for their populations to naturally replenish.

Ganges shark-very rarely seen and it is estimated that approximately 250 of this species are alive. They are true river sharks(can inhabit freshwater) and a unique threat to them is pollution.

To give these sharks and many others a fighting chance,sustainable fishing practices should be enforced and ecosystem pollution should be reduced.

Shameless plug as we get closer to the end~ Link here These are 2 of my previously produced designs. They were both guest designs I was invited to make, so I wanted them to mirror each other. Extinct birds and extremely endangered fish. I dunno if I mentioned it last time, but the orange fish, the Golden Skiffia was extinct in the wild until last year. 1200 were reintroduced and they're supposed to be monitored for 5 years. Hopefully they make it! Reintroductions aren't often successful, but I'd love it if these little guys beat the odds.

conservative X-men fans will see a franchise about an oppressed group of people who fight for their civil rights and freedom in a world that sees them as freaks and monsters and imagine themselves being on the mutants’ side but then can’t even handle masculine cis women in sports or a man with painted nails or cisgender teens on puberty blockers for health issues.

conservative X-men fans will see that oppressed group of freaks and monsters constantly facing the threat of an apocalyptic future specifically caused by hate mongers in powerful positions who very blatantly will and do destroy the same humanity they claim to be protecting if it means destroying Those Freaks and think “wow cool robot.”

conservative X-men fans will agree with the villain who was based on Malcom X and specifically came to hold his beliefs through surviving the Holocaust and claim that he can’t even be considered a villain anymore because his ideology makes sense and is consistently proven right by the humans’ unwavering intolerance, but go into hysterics the minute a real life minority holds any sort of hatred or resentment toward their oppressor.

conservatives in general will always pretend that the media they consume doesn’t have any deeper meaning or purpose other than being entertainment slop because they almost always retreat into media for some type of “comfort” or escape from having to acknowledge reality and their own bigotry. they want the freedom to be bigots without any pushback or consequences so they surround themselves in an echo chamber of fictional characters and universes who can’t argue with them or tell them they’re wrong and bad.

conservatives have to constantly and deliberately turn their brains off to consume a specific piece of media because they know that they would be the villain in it if they gave it an ounce of deeper thought and that’s exactly why they push back so hard against anything that drags them out of their comfy echo chamber, anything that threatens their blissful ignorance.

they thrive on the idea that their media isn’t “that deep” or based in/affected by reality; that there’s no such thing as representation or allegories or coding in media (and alternatively, that representation doesn’t matter or is just propahanda). they thrive on willful ignorance and they want to convince everyone else to be just as ignorant and the death of media literacy is exactly how they’ll achieve it

#Paleostream 13/07/2024

here's today's #Paleostream sketches!!! today we drew Cretoxyrhina, Barinasuchus, Clidastes, Hypuronector

[willtheweaver]

Yeah I know this poll is a little apex predator heavy, but to be frank, most sea creatures (living and extinct) would amount to nothing more than fish/whale/ichthyosaur/shark, etc. fodder and that would not make for a fun poll.

i think im funny

[critterzoology]

A Hybodus that I illustrated for an upcoming issue of the Steinkern Magazine under guidance of Sebastian Stumpf. Most reconstructions get the horns wrong. (image ID: A watercolour painting of a slender shark with serrated spines on its dorsal fins and four horns on its head.)

Day 1: Elasmobranchology

Elasmobranchology is the study of modern sharks, sawfish, skates, and rays, also known as the subclass Elasmobranchii and class Chondrichthyes.

These cartilaginous fish are characterized by having five to seven pairs of gill clefts opening individually to the exterior, rigid dorsal fins and small placoid scales on the skin. The teeth should be layered and their jaw is never fused with their cranium, though the difference between jaw anatomy vary between species. Elasmobranchs do not have swim bladders and instead rely on large livers rich in oil to maintain buoyancy. Some deep sea sharks are targeted for this liver oil, including the school, gulper and basking sharks. All three have been assessed and are now confirmed to be threatened with extinction due to overfishing.

Let me know if you have a specific class/subclass you'd like me to do next :)

Ginsu shark

Cretoxyrhina mantellii

A species of large predatory shark from the late Cretaceous, Cretoxyrhina mantellii (meaning 'Mantel's Cretaceous sharp-nose'), commonly known as the Ginsu shark, fed on medium- to large-sized fish and marine reptiles across the world's oceans. Massive and fast, the Ginsu shark was a top predator in its ecosystem, regularly competing with mosasaurs and other predatory fish in such regions as the Western Interior Seaway.
