Ecological selectivity of diet on turtle K/Pg survivorship https://royalsocietypublishing.org/rsbl/article/22/3/20250790/481023/Ecological-selectivity-of-diet-on-turtle-K-Pg

"turtles that fed on hard-shelled organisms such as gastropods and bivalves survived the mass #extinction largely unscathed. And they were more than five times more likely to survive than turtles that hunted fish or that were purely herbivorous."

Sales on my Etsy shop really dropped off this month. Time for some self-promo!

Peculiar crocodile ancestor started life on four legs before learning to walk on two https://phys.org/news/2026-03-peculiar-crocodile-ancestor-life-legs.html Paper: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/02724634.2025.2604859 #PaleoArt by @serpenillus

"Sonselasuchus had more proportional forelimbs and hindlimbs as young, and their hindlimb grew longer and more robust through adulthood... these creatures started out their lives on four legs… they then started walking on two legs as they grew up."
