Excited to share that my first study on carnivoran brains is out! 🧠 We provide a unified framework for identifying neocortical sulci across 26 diverse carnivoran species, and discuss how regional variations in sulcal patterns may relate to their behaviour & ecology. elifesciences.org/articles/100...

I mean, we should like them if only because they're the only known carnivoran species to ever, when fed by humans, strike a deal instead of just becoming exponentially more dangerous.

I know this wasn’t said specifically but I think the person meant “carnivoran big enough to hurt people” and cats don’t really qualify unless they’re rabid!

The seasonally dry, open woodland of Hammerschmiede has one of the largest carnivoran guilds, Chalicotheriinae and Schizotheriinae overlapping, tons of durophagous snapping turtles, the youngest choristoderes, giant cranes, basal pandas and two species of beaver.

Kolponomos is so cool. It was a bear-like carnivoran that pried shellfish off rocks and crunched them up about 20 million years ago. (art by Lucas Lima)
