Four black-and-white pencil sketches of prehistoric animals (all from the Pleistocene/Holocene) arranged in four uneven quadrants on a piece of paper. In the top left is the Madagascan crocodile Voay, pushing off the riverbed with one foot and turning its body in a large semi-circle. In the top right is a small Albanerpeton pannonicus in Italy, standing on a small piece of karstic rock in a mouth-open threat posture as a Raccoon Dog looks down upon it. In the bottom left is a Mekosuchus grabbing a domestic pig its own size by the hind leg, while the dark silhouette of a human runs towards it from the background with a long stick in one hand. In the bottom right is a frontal view of the robust head and neck of Enhydriodon omoensis, one of the largest otters ever and a likely terrestrial hunter of Pliocene/early-Pleistocene Africa’s grasslands.
Sketches from a Pleistocene-themed flocking #Paleostream! Voay robustus from Madagascar, the last species of Albanerpeton in Italy (scared by a Raccoon Dog), Mekosuchus trying to hunt a pig, and the face of the giant otter Enhydriodon. #pleistocene #holocene #paleoart #sciart
