    The shortform video we posted yesterday mistakenly included AI-generated imagery - in violation of our show's policy on the use of AI. After reviewing our sources, it appears the images were included on a stock photo website without an indication they were generated by AI.

    Happy #WorldFrogDay! Can you believe this frog is ~40 million years old? In 1873 the French naturalist Henri Filhol described this fossil frog discovered from the Quercy Phosphorites of southwestern France. The specimen preserved the frog's soft tissues as an external cast. (1/3)

    For some reason, animals keep evolving into things that look like crabs, independently, over and over again. What is it about the crab’s form that makes it so evolutionarily successful that non-crabs are apparently jealous of it? youtube.com/watch?v=wvfR3X…

    An invisible barrier runs through the entire Malay archipelago. On the western side: rhinos, elephants & tigers. On the eastern side: a totally different cast of characters. How did this invisible line come to be? Watch our new video to find out! youtu.be/QTK_bC00ilg

    If you think elephants look silly now, their ancient cousins were a lot sillier! But why were the long-jawed proboscideans rapidly replaced by herbivores with long, flexible trunks instead? New video tomorrow!

    Nonetheless, their inclusion in the video was an oversight on our part and we are reviewing our processes to make sure this kind of error doesn't happen again. We're proud to work with talented paleoartists who reconstruct life in the ancient past and will continue to do so.

    Check out this lion-sized #otter for World Otter Day! Here's a reconstruction of the otter Enhydriodon omoensis (in background), compared with three current species, left to right: the South American giant otter; the sea otter; and an African otter. (1/3)

    It's #NationalJewelDay! Let's celebrate by enjoying what we think is the most beautiful fossil in the world: Eric. Eric was a seal-sized, short-necked pliosaur known scientifically as Umoonasaurus demoscyllus and is one of the most complete opalised vertebrates known!

    For National Kitten Day, let's celebrate these tiny Ice Age kittens that sadly didn't make it, but will now provide paleontologists and scientists with a wealth of information about their kind.

    424 million years ago, a small, unassuming organism known as a graptolite drifted through the sea, unaware of how important paleontologists would one day find it. These graptolites would help unlock secrets of the Silurian period. Dive deep with us this week on Eons!

    Happy Museum Selfie Day! We had Kallie, Michelle, and Blake pick just one museum selfie to share...which is hard because they have many. 😉

    Toy manufacturers don't think people want scientific accuracy, but Eons & @Beast_SculptKit know otherwise! We teamed up to create 1/18th scale, hand-painted mammoth action figures!
