A centaur, but it's a Yeti head-arms-torso on a wooly mammoth body. Move the trunk and tusks to the Yeti head. (Oh, you think that would look silly? That boundary was already crossed.) Don't let it in the house, it sheds an enormous amount, and would accidentally tip over furniture and tear doors loose. It will be fine outside as long as the weather is cold enough. 🦣

We’re still recovering from losing the woolly mammoth

Earth's food webs suffer when giant animals go extinct, even 10,000 years later.

@ater Thank you for the drawing. The planet hopes the large marsh grasshopper has the habitat to be fruitful and multiply. This grasshopper appears to be an apex grazer and a solid meal for marsh birds. #nativeplants, #megafauna, #rewilding.

Brazil protects huge coastal area with endangered dolphins and megafauna fossils

Brazil’s federal government created a huge conservation area on March 6 to protect a critical biodiversity hotspot in the Atlantic Ocean. The newly created Albardão marine park and coastal environmental protected area are home to at least 25 endangered species and Pleistocene epoch megafauna fossils.   The new national park is off the coast of Brazil’s […]

March 18, 2026. Field notes. The wind and heavy snow of the weekend covers native plants. This round headed bush clover stem is sturdy, often lasting two winters. This stem will return to the upright position as the snow melts. These plants have lovely winter color and striking seed heads. The seeds are attractive, they are small legumes. #minnesota, #nativeplants, #pollinators, #megafauna, #Zone4b

43% of all large freshwater animal #species, such as carp, catfish, crocodiles and turtles, have been introduced to areas outside of their natural habitats. While this may offer economic benefits for certain groups, it often has adverse effects on nature and people: https://www.igb-berlin.de/en/news/40-freshwater-megafauna-species-introduced-outside-their-native-range
