I Really Don't Understand Why People Do This

You know, sometimes I forget I have a Tumblr account.

Remember your training.

I wonder how many eras of Earth's natural history have been completely lost just because they didn't make a visible mark on the planet.

I wonder how many species have been forever lost to time only because they never fossilized or left behind and traces of their existence.

Who knows what incredible, terrifying, or seemingly alien forms of life once called this planet home, that we'll never know once existed?

Ancient life is incredible. It makes me sad to know that so many species of flora and fauna and everything in between will never be known. Things so odd they seem straight out of movies.

Life and evolution are just so incredible, and deserve so much more appreciation than they get.

The shape of a fish's caudal tail can tell you a lot about how fast the fish moves! A rounded tail is the slowest and a lunate tail is the fastest! The lunate tail has the most optimal ratio of high thrust and low draw, making it the fastest.

So, we know modern domesticated, (and even some wild!) animals enjoy being petted.

The question is. How far back in the history of evolution does this trait go?

What dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals would have loved a good head rub?? Which ones would have flopped over for some under-the-chin scritches??? Would some of them have headbutted you to ask for more affection like a cat??? Did some make happy sounds, like purring???

This is information I need. I need to know. Animals today exhibit these behaviors so it's pretty likely they could have done so in the past too!!

The idea of them being affectionate towards each other as well (as opposed to how they're often portrayed hunting/fighting/being scary) makes me happy too. I desperately wish we could see how they behaved.

This is my new sona, Ida! She's a brown domestic cat, themed around mushrooms.

She's a soft, cuddly cat who loves physical contact (hugs and holding hands and all that with friends are absolutely adored). She's not the best with talking sometimes (hah anxiety) but she tries nonetheless.

Her hands can be drawn more paw-like or more hand-like, the mushrooms on her tail don't have a set pattern so they can be drawn in any arrangement as long as they're generally on the base, and her body type is reflective of mine, so she'll always be drawn with a slight amount of body fat. I might even draw some outfits for her.

Hoping she sticks around :)

Here's where you can find me!

I also have profiles elsewhere, such as on Artfol or Amino, but I am no longer active on those platforms.

So like. I finally finished redesigning my fursona! I've been meaning to do this for ages, and it took me forever to actually finish it, but it's done. I'm a lot happier with her design now.

I feel like flowers suit me a little more than mushrooms. And her old design, for reference. I think I made her color palette a lot more cohesive this time around.
