@Paleosculpts An interesting paper published in 2020 suggested that Thylacosmilus may have had a unique type of ecology among sabertooths, being a scavenger and using its weird & impressive fangs to open carcasses. I would love to see this animated!

@daleksvsdinos A 2020 study shows Thylacosmilus as a scavenger that would use its fangs to open corpses and with the help of a large tongue it would suck on organs and soft parts. Due to this feeding style, the incisors could have lost relevance. https://t.co/dKAa3jye1C

For this exercise, I’m going to use the paper: An eye for a tooth: Thylacosmilus was not a marsupial "saber-tooth predator" of Janis et al., 2020. https://t.co/GiRajkGNMB https://t.co/f6Qb0R5ZJF

For the last part of this thread, I'm going to walk you through how I'd make a graphical abstract using the paper "An eye for a tooth: Thylacosmilus was not a marsupial "saber-tooth predator"" of Janis et al., 2020. (61/n) https://t.co/moAo6w2Pux
