Getting hyped for the new Planet of the Apes movie and it's combining with my love of Horizon. Suddenly picturing a Cradle facility accidentally getting enhanced ape genetic material instead of humans and creates a community of smart apes.

Cut to Aloy traveling through the wilderness and encountering a group of apes fighting machines with their own weapons and being shocked because she knows Elisabet definitely did not mean to make evolved apes but she rolls with it because she just saw a gorilla rip the jaws off a Snapmaw with its bare hands and has a healthy respect for that kind of strenght.

Who Snapped Here Before Snapmaws?

Dinoridge.org Crocodile Article

The landlocked state known for its towering Rocky Mountains and sprawling plains once featured dramatically different landscapes as seen in its geological formations. [...] Fresh water flowed through this bed into what was then the coastline of a large interior seaway. Today’s stone layers have an abundance of fossilized animal tracks including numerous parallel claw marks. [...]

“Crocs had four toes on their hind feet, but often we see only the traces of the three longest toes,” Dr. Lockley* noted. “Often swim tracks are aligned in one direction because crocs were following a creek or moving with a current.” [...]

Today crocodiles can only be found in south Florida in the U.S. and are protected as a threatened species. Crocs that once thrived in Colorado were smaller than full-grown crocs living in Florida, which can reach up to 20-feet in length. “Based to the largest tracks we can infer that the larger animals were 13-16 feet long,” Dr. Lockley said. “Nonetheless, the larger crocs would have been fearsome, top predators in these habitats. Paleontologists think they would have ambushed unsuspecting dinosaurs, birds, and other creatures that strayed too close to the waterline.”

*Dr. Martin Lockley is a co-founder of the nonprofit Friends of Dinosaur Ridge, and world-renowned ichnologist and professor emeritus at University of Colorado Denver.

Horizon Forbidden West machine headshots compilation 5/5.

This is team ragtag. The plucky misfits of the project.

It's not that I didn't try to capture 8x10s of them, it's just that I liked these so much more than all my other attempts. The menace of the snapmaw, the motion of the spikesnout, the colour of the sky behind the bristleback... I just couldn't quite recreate any of it. Maybe I just got too attached?

Either way, I'm not changing them now.

Bristleback

Snapmaw

Spikesnout
