A life-sized reconstruction of Megalania, an extinct giant lizard, that inhabited Australia during the Pleistocene era with an estimated length of 3.5 to 7 meters (11.5- 23 ft) and a weight between 97-1,940 kg (214-4,277 lb). CREDIT: Prehistoric Earth #Megalania

These days we are visiting historic #Miocene - #Pleistocene fossil sites of Minorca 🐁🐇🐢, some of them described by the paleontologist Dorothea Bate at the early of XXth century. Enjoying a lot of this experience! #FossilFriday #PaleoGalicia #womeninpaleo #inspiringwoman

➡️ The most comprehensive study of the African Early Pleistocene archaeological record is detailed in the new book published today, May 31. This work focuses on DS, the largest window into the world of early humans, from Olduvai Gorge.

Protemnodon viator was a large quadrupedal kangaroo which inhabited Australia from the Pliocene to the late Pleistocene

Free Pleistocene

A master copy of a piece by Mauricio Antón set in Pleistocene Spain. This mammoth has graced the cover of my copy of Larousse de los Mamíferos Prehistóricos (by Antón and Alan Turner) since I was a child. It is, in my opinion, one of the most gorgeous books of paleoart ever made.

Paleo Fact!

Cercopithecoides (Cercopithecus-like(?)) is an extinct primate from Late Miocene to Pleistocene Africa! They were very large members of the Cercopithecidae family, (more commonly referred to as 'Old World monkeys'), with the smaller species-(1/2)

Gigantopithecus takes all the glory but let us not forget big apes were a fixture in Asia from the Miocene to the Pleistocene- Indopithecus could weigh up to 150 kg, being in the same size range as modern gorillas, although it was a pongine, a cousin of the orangutan!

It's wild what Egypt used to have even after the Pleistocene. Lots of large mammals like lions, aurochs, elephants etc. Even giant herons. Even if the Meidum geese are just red-breasted geese, this species doesn't inhabit Egypt today.

Here is a drawing of Mammuthus Exilis aka The Pygmy Mammoth or The Channel Island Mammoth, an extinct species of Dwarf Mammoth that lived during the Late Pleistocene, it lived in what is now The Channel Islands off the coast of California

From Pleistocene North America, the American Lion was one of the largest known felids at up to 500kg, and derived from the Eurasian cave lion as result of geographic isolation. Presumed skin remains attributed to it suggest a reddish fur colour

About 27 kya in Pleistocene Brazil 🇧🇷, an itis-stricken male Smilodon populator licks his paws clean after a big breakfast- probably some smothered Toxodon chops with a Macrauchenia marinade 😂. Now to do what cats do best - пар.

I dunno man, learning about the Oort Cloud, the Peloponnesian War, or the Pleistocene from personal experience seems unlikely.
