This arachnid is among the largest vinegaroon species alive, reaching 6 cm in body length. This endemic mexican species is part of a wide species complex spanning over Mexico & southern U.S.A.

Size: up to 6cm in body length
Time period: Holocene (present day)
Conservation status: Least concern to Near Threatened

The animal drawn is a vinegaroon, an arachnid looking a bit like a scorpion with long thin first legs used as antennae, and it has a raised opisthosoma, ready to defend itself

A black-and-white pencil drawing of a scene in the fictional world of Kaimere. In a dense mixed Pine-Hardwood forest along the eastern edge of the continent Ni’Khar, a large Fireback terror bird steps out into a clearing. It is staring into the foreground, at a mother Unicorn (cousin of giraffes) protectively standing next to her newborn calf. A Kaimeran Rhinoceros is standing a little further in the background with its head raised, looking at the Fireback, so the terror bird may not get the easy meal it was looking for.

In the forest of western Ni’Khar, a Fireback finds itself between two Unicorns in search of an easy meal. With both a protective mother and a defensive neighbor, the calf may survive its first day. A scene in #Kaimere, setting and creatures are creations of @talesofkaimere.bsky.social. #specevo

I’ve got a cold right now, so I felt like drawing a very unappreciated animal that also produces a lot of mucus.

A rough black-and-white pencil sketch of the early equine Merychippus in a running pose with its head held high. Its snout is drawn to resemble that of a deer rather than a modern horse, it has no mane, and it has a duiker-like tail. An oval-shaped bulge on its snout between the eye and the nostril hints at the deep pocket (preorbital fossae) in nearly all non-Equus equid skulls, still mysterious in function but potentially housing a unique sort of scent gland.

Quick sketch of everyone’s beloved Merychippus, though not as it’s often depicted. These and other early Equines were far-removed in phylogeny, morphology, and ecology from the genus Equus, and thus, why give it a mane or rhinarium-less snout? #YearoftheHorse #miocene #paleoart #sciart
