Hobbes and Tigger would find some aspect of tigerhood to bond over, but Calvin would put Christopher Robin in the ground.

In a monumental discovery for paleontology and the first of its kind "Mummy of a juvenile sabre-toothed cat Homotherium latidens from the Upper Pleistocene of Siberia"

Abstract The frozen mummy of the large felid cub was found in the Upper Pleistocene permafrost on the Badyarikha River (Indigirka River basin) in the northeast of Yakutia, Russia. The study of the specimen appearance showed its significant differences from a modern lion cub of similar age (three weeks) in the unusual shape of the muzzle with a large mouth opening and small ears, the very massive neck region, the elongated forelimbs, and the dark coat color. Tomographic analysis of the mummy skull revealed the features characteristic of Machairodontinae and of the genus Homotherium. For the first time in the history of paleontology, the appearance of an extinct mammal that has no analogues in the modern fauna has been studied.

I always knew it was possible, but I never dared to hope.

OH MY GOSH OH MY GOSH OH MY GOSH OH MY GOSH OH MY GOSH OH MY GOSH OH MY GOSH OH MY GOSH LOOK AT THIS WE HAVE A SABERCAT MUMMY AAAAAAA

We now have concrete evidence for what saber-toothed kittens (well, at least one species) looked like in real life, and that can in turn help inform what the adults looked like!

To summarize the main points from the paper:

In conclusion, this is the most exciting thing I've seen all year and I NEED to find the time to draw a mama Homotherium caring for her babies in the middle of winter

i gotta remember this

It's the Winter Soldier! That guy is so cool! Thunderbolts* (2025)

I think movies need more sex and i also think that actors need to be uglier and less in shape

Do you hate children yes or no

this part of stevie nicks’ interview with rolling stone is taking me out

A 2100-year-old statue of Hygieia, the Greek Goddess of health was found stuck between two rocks in Turkey.

for reference this is the warning that was too hard to navigate, apparently

In my defense, I was 11, stupid, and English is not my first language 😭😭

You know what, in this case, the warning actually served its designed function.
