Recently, I have been very interested in these small ancient creatures because of my current college project. And since I'm proud of these arts (it's been so long since my last traditional artwork -w-"), I decided to post them here, even though they aren't very related to my main content X"D.

(psps. if you like these funny guys check out the little anomalocaris tag .. there are more)
holy SHIT please read the whole thread and many more of these images right here, this artist put together an updated Opabinia reconstruction where every single one of these minute details (except coloration, obviously) are fully sourced making this most likely the first depiction factoring in 100% of current knowledge about it. Even I didn’t know it had little feet like a velvet worm and could have walked around on them! I never knew exactly how the trunk is oriented or how many “teeth” it is! I especially didn’t know the mouth was that weird! And I kind of assumed this since it’s a lobopod and all, but the whole animal was soft and squishy except for the eyes and the teeth. It did not have armor plates or a jointed exoskeleton like a lot of people portray. This also means all five of the eyes would have been able to bend and look around independently! The eye structure in fossils also indicates that they would have PSEUDOPUPILS! That’s the pupil-like dot in the eyes of insects like mantises!
I love this silly little guy
I’m so happy with all the love my Silly little guy got 💛. He got so much love that he has now found a special companion to be extra silly with.
EVERYONE LOOK AT THIS ABSOLUTELY PERFECT CREATION RIGHT NOW!!!!
