Bittersweet appreciation because I think about these guys more than I should

Laika 🫶 - name means 'barker' and 'loyal'

I know it was for science and everything but I can never help thinking about how she was lifted from the streets, prepared for such a huge thing bigger than she would ever know. Given love and shelter while she trained, then when she was sent off, knowing she wouldn't survive.

I think about her passing away a lot, she had to have been lonely, overwhelmed and whining for anyone to come help her. Love and appreciation for this wonderful little soul, wish I could give her all the affection she deserved

Lyuba 🫶 - name means 'love'

A 1 month old female mammoth calf found frozen in ice, she is almost perfectly mummified and her death was choking and must have been so panicked but she gives us so much knowledge of the past, of her species. Giving us more information than any of her ancestors that lived full lives.

She still had some of her mother's milk in her as well, some part of her mum forever being with her and keeping her safe

The Odd Couple 🫶

They may have died separately or together, but now they've kept eachother company for millenia. We won't know their story but the thought of these 2 species, terrified and seeking sanctuary from the violence of their surroundings before succumbing to it.

Maybe they had a symbiotic relationship, maybe they fought before being washed in, whatever it was, now they're together forever, huddled together for warmth and comfort.

Oddest couple ever found: Amphibian and mammal forerunner share 250 million year old burrow

250 million years ago, a mammal forerunner and an amphibian shared a burrow. Scientists from South Africa, Australia and France have discove

If u know of any more please add on to this, I swear I'm not tryna make ppl cry

Lyuba

Lyuba is the most remarkably preserved woolly mammoth ever found. This baby mammoth, who tragically lived only 30-35 days, provides an extraordinary glimpse into the prehistoric world.

Discovered by indigenous hunter Yuri Khudi and his sons along a frozen riverbank in Siberia, Lyuba's well-preserved remains have allowed scientists to study the Ice Age like never before, offering an exceptional opportunity to explore life from over 41,800 years ago.

Advanced research techniques, including CT scans, have revealed fascinating details about Lyuba’s life.

Her internal organs are remarkably intact, and analysis of her intestines showed that she had consumed adult mammoth feces, which helped her develop essential digestive microbes.

Sadly, Lyuba’s cause of death was determined to be drowning in muddy water, an unfortunate fate for this young mammoth.

At the time of her death, Lyuba stood just 33.5 inches tall and weighed only 110 pounds, about the size of a large dog.

Her exceptional preservation has given researchers invaluable insights into mammoth biology and their environment.

Lyuba is a true time capsule, offering a rare and vivid connection to the ancient world and shedding new light on the prehistoric creatures that once roamed the Earth.

200 Years of Paleontology

A few days ago, was the 200th anniversary of the term ‘Paleontology’, so I figured I’d do a tribute piece, with a selection of fossils and prehistoric critters that helped influence both our understanding of the past and a celebration of paleontology in pop-culture.

Now, time for a LITERAL copy-paste from my deviantart page of my choices for the organisms!

Center: - The Ammonite: They, alongside trilobites, are perhaps the first fossils known by humans due to their abundance (and their iconic status) - Megalosaurus Jaw: Representing the first dinosaur discovered, "The Big Lizard" helped usher the age of Paleontology. From left to right - Tiktaalik: Perhaps THE fossil that gives us a glimpse of how tetrapod jumped from sea to land, without these common ancestors there wouldn't be us! - A Pleistocene Man: Who gives a first-hand glimpse of an age that just passed us by, and showing that some pieces of human nature, our curiosity, our curiosity, and unfortunately, our destructiveness, is  eternal. - Ginko Leaves: Because paleobotany is important, and there's fewer better links to the past than the Ginko Tree, whose kind have survived for eons till the present day. - Spinosaurus: An example of how just one species can change so much as our understanding of prehistoric ecology and environments get better. - Tyrannosaurus Rex: THE Dinosaur, THE icon, but also an example of how the more things change, the more things stay the same. Named for its sheer size, it still lives up to its reputation as a powerful predator (with scales). - Archeopteryx: The first bird, whose mere existence changed the perspective of how we see dinosaurs forever, and helped cement the link between birds and non-avian dinosaurs. - Lyuba the Mammoth - The frozen mammoth calf, the one that showed, yes, the critters of the past were once alive and breathing.
