death by greed and gluttony; generations pass and none will know of my name, my face, my call. An echo of what I once was.

Homotherium latidens is a saber-toothed cat that lived in North America, Eurasia and Africa from the middle Pliocene to the end of the late Pleistocene.

It reached 1.15 m at the shoulder and weighed approximately 150–250 kg.

Its large, flat, saber-shaped serrated fangs were designed for slashing and thrusting.

seal of the day: japanese sea lion

content warning: graphic descriptions of animals bodies post death

sadly these eared seals went extinct in the 1970s :( they inhabited the japanese sea and surrounding areas. a text from the 18th century said that their meat “was not tasty” and instead was used as oil for oil lamps. their organs were used for expensive medicine, whiskers as pipe cleaners, and skin for leather (yes really.) over hunting caused their population to go from 300 japanese sea lions in 1915 to only a few dozen in the 1930s. over hunting and damage to their habitat from world war 2 is to blame for their extinction. i’m sorry we failed you, japanese sea lions :( what are ur thoughts on this otariidae?

ps. there are like no good photos since they are extinct, so what i have here are drawings and a taxidermied sea lion. also a b&w photo taken in 1934

Scribs you have got to tell us about the CAVE GOAT you can't just leave that in the tags I am begging you

ok so listen imma tell you about this damn goat that i learned from a tumblr post that circulated years ago that i swear was just a shitpost until i looked it up and it turned out BETTER than what the post was advertising!

LONG POST INCOMING IM SORRY!

seriously this thing is up there in terms of my all time favorite animals such as the hartebeest and the spaghetti squid [or magnapinna squid if you want to be pedantic lol]

SO

mytoragus are a genus of extinct goat-antelopes that used to live on the Balearic Islands till about 4500 or so years ago that had about six species attributed to it. One of which is the magnificent M.balearicus who was known for being just the greatest thing to ever come out of the primordial soup in my opinion:

just look how cute he is!!

Anyways these particular little dudes apparently were funkier than anyone else on their family tree due to the fact that they weren't all that great at jumping [if they even could at all thanks to those inelastic ligaments wrapped around their feet] and pretty much only shuffled about as they went about their day snacking on boxwood.

Not to mention that their sense of sight, smell and hearing weren't all that great either. But it was cool bc there wasn't really anything snacking on these guys anyway to warrant such unnecessary senses.

They grew slowly, managing to get to an estimated 50cm tall at the shoulder [that's like...less than a border collie in some instances lol such a tiny lad!]

BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE!

because of this kind of slow growth [or maybe not idk im not a scientist] it is theorized that it adapted its metabolism in response to changing environmental factors such as food and water availability and temperature changes [hence the theoretical cold blooded nature of this beast]!

but that's probably not what you're here for right? You're probably curious to see if there is anything that could help you visualize this majestic beast outside a picture of a skeleton

yes.

yes there is.

~*BEHOLD!~*

THE LAD HIMSELF!!

lets get him from a different angle shall we?

schta-BAM!! GLAMOUR SHOT BABY!!

there have been others who have tried to capture this creature's magnificence in physical form but...well the results are shall we say:

less than pleasant? [then again they may be closer to the actual thing than the first, recreations are funny that way]

and this is just straight up the devil

[omg thank you for letting me gab about this damn thing i love it so much and sure there's probably a lot im missing out on but again im no scientist i'm just a person who really likes bizarre animals lol]
