@Boverisuchus There have been conflicting reports that the “Inchworm” from 1957’s The Black Scorpion is the same model as Kong’s “Octopus-Insect”. I certainly like it a lot better than Jackson’s version AND if it’s a giant Springtail, it’s not even *that* fanciful!

I can’t believe it has been around 20 YEARS since I illustrated the Bruce Champagne #SeaSerpent pantheon. I should revisit it… someday… because these are some truly wild speculative beasties including: a long-necked marine reptile using ostraciform swimming, a globe-shaped quill-covered pseudoturtle, a squamate in a walrus-like niche, a rorqual-like limbless squamate and more! #cryptid #Cryptozoology #SpeculativeZoology

And an #AllTomorrows “”reconstruction”” of #Caperea as a sluggish, grungy, barrel-bodied manatee-like animal. #SpeculativeZoology #AllYesterdays

selected a dinosaur from the end of the Late Cretaceous that fit the reported size and by having “bony studs” (which I don’t think is true?). Despite having “few clues” Hall invents a #SpeculativeZoology scenario where #Thescelosaurus survives the (asteroid-free, hmm…) Cretaceous and becomes a snorkel-bearing aquatic species primarily dwelling in the Gulf Stream and Bahamas, going to estuaries only to lay eggs. Oh, and the pink color is derived from carotenoids.

#DudowardsSquid (15/13)
The siren song of #SpeculativeZoology and #Cryptozoology lured me in — what would a hyper-literal interpretation of Dudoward’s #Squid look like? Pretty darn weird! The weird lumpy little body combined with humungous robust arms seems quite incongruous.
