newest episode of Common Descent is about saber teeth!

They cover everything from Smilodon to Nimravids to Gorgonopsians to fanged deer (although not Hoplitomeryx)! Even Uintatherium gets a mention. Covers recent research on why Smilodon's canines would have been visible when the mouth was closed, while Homotherium's canines would have been concealed when the mouth was closed.

Thanks for all of the birthday wishes!:)
This is bodypaint
I am now level 35 and this lovely creature is what I decided to turn myself into on my birthday on the 27th:) This one was a challenge because... I'm travelling and... I forgot all of my eyeshadow. So shading, colouring and the design had to be changed a lot. But I found a way either way!
Happy birthday to me:)

Think Sainsburys used my boy Hick as inspiration for their Halloween sweet packet design.

The full moon rises, and she feels the fangs grow, the fur begin to push through her skin, her ears growing long and pointed...

And hooves?

(Be wary of discount werewolf charms, is all I'm saying.)
