imperiius:bunjywunjy:bunjywunjy:crystallinecrow:0pabinia:meetmeonthecraton:strangebiology:Basilosaurus, which means “King Lizard,” was actually a whale that lived 30-45 million years ago. Scientists have also just published a paper indicating that it was likely apex predator.(image: Voss et al., 2019)As I scrolled, each vertebrae descending down my mobile screen, I grew more and more ready for this bony fucker to be one of them “do you love the color of the sky” posts but naw, just a long bony bastard.✨Do you love the vertebrae of the spine? ✨@bunjywunjya p e x 1 wiggly boyalso if you were curious, Basilosaurus was a 60-foot-long toothy cetacean nightmare that would have looked something like this when it was alive:@wyrmbloods -- source link
