Big deer
So, I see a LOT of elk driving to/from work. Fun thing, even though they’re glow in the dark white here, at night, they dont look like elk. They look like headlights coming through the next stand of aspens, til your right on top of them
Between them, and the pitch black, too tall for their eyes to glow in the headlights moose? Yeah, we drive slow in the mountains at night
Some paleoart I did for my new job of one of my favourite dinos, P. lakustai!
[ID. A digitally painted profile of the face of Pachyrhinosaurus lakustai, a ceratopsian with a large boss above it’s nose and a smaller boss above its eye, and a single “unicorn” spike on the middle portion of its frill. It is illustrated in browns with some darker stripes and an eyespot on the frill.
The skull used for reference is illustrated in flat black and white in the background and is overlain with the text: “Pachyrhinosaurus lakustai/Lakusta’s Thick-Nosed reptile from Pipestone Creek, Grande Prairie”. END]

*locations on the maps aren’t exact but they’re as close to their native range as i could place them design-wise
*not every single recognized species and subspecies is represented because some i could find zero information on, let alone pictures
*common names are taken from the IUCN red list if applicable and iNaturalist (and very rarely wikipedia)
*species that are extinct in the wild but alive in captivity are not included unless they have started releasing them
*thank you tumblr for destroying the colors
