Chalicotheriidae by Mario Lanzas

Chalicotheriidae is an extinct family of herbivorous, odd-toed ungulate (perissodactyl) mammals that lived in North America, Eurasia, and Africa from the Middle Eocene to the Early Pleistocene. They are often called chalicotheres, a term which is also applied to the broader grouping of Chalicotherioidea.  They are noted for their unusual morphology compared to other ungulates, such as their clawed forelimbs. Members of the subfamily Chalicotheriinae developed elongate gorilla-like forelimbs that are thought to have been used to grasp vegetation. They are thought to have been browsers on foliage as well as possibly bark and fruit... (via: Wikipedia)

Pampaphoneus swimming.

Pampaphoneus biccai is a brazillian anteosaur that lived in the middle Permian, about 268 - 265 million years ago. Hailing from the Rio do Rasto Formation, it would have lived in what is called a interdunal wetland - that is, a environment of temporary lakes and bodies of water surrounded by dunes.

Nanuqsaurus hoglundi

here’s a drawing i did as a quick experiment to see if i could make a drawing blend in with an image i took. turns out, yes i can! using the grain tool on a photo editing app really sells it.

i love horror in paleoart, it’s my favorite thing to draw tbh.

here’s the speedpaint (references used in there are from Dino and Dog Sculptures and Gabriel Ugueto!)
