#arctodus — Public Fediverse posts

It is exciting to see snippets of Surviving Earth coming out from Impossible Pictures (see: https://www.instagram.com/picturesimpossible/). One of the clips released features Arctodus, the "short faced bear", here is my official design sheet, which was used by the production team.

This weeks #Lego #FossilFriday is #Arctodus

In 1854, Joseph Leidy named Arctodus pristinus from remains found in the Ashley Phosphate Beds, South Carolina.

In 1878, the first fossils of a second species were found.
In 1879, they were named Arctotherium simum by Edward Drinker Cope.

Until 1967, they were grouped together under A. pristinus when Björn Kurtén revived and resplit Arctotherium simum.

My 25 years of palaeoart chronology...

Here's a portrait of the Arctodus, commissioned in 2022 for a project I cannot talk about yet. Arctodus, also known as the short-faced bear, lived during the Pleistocene.
