So, today's the 100th anniversary of the description of Inostrancevia, also known as the best gorgonopsid.
And here's a fresh, just finished painting I did to commemorate it.
Not sure where I was going with this, buy I really like it, especially for something I did in a day, which doesn't happen often.

Happy centenary anniversary to Inostrancevia, everyone's favorite Gorgonopsid
Happy 100th name-day, Inostrancevia! Inostrancevia belongs to a group of animals called gorgonopsids: not quite reptiles, not quite mammals, but something in between! At ~265-250 million years old, they reigned as Earth's apex predators *before* the dinosaurs!
