#FossilFriday: Batrachotomus, a pseudosuchian from ~240 million years ago. Although these animals were in the same clade as crocodilians, Batrachotomus was much more upright. I like to think of this animal as a faster, more agile crocodile 😅🐊
Physics simulations by Polet & Hutchinson show that an unusual footfall-pattern may have been optimal for this animal: https://doi.org/10.3389/fbioe.2021.800311
@PashavanBijlert @johnrhutchinson is on here too!
Still figuring out this platform. I just realized the auto-fill function when tagging doesn't seem to place people you already follow on top...
@PashavanBijlert I wonder if it depends on the client you use. Both Tusky and Tooot (Android clients) put follows on top in autofill.
@dtpolet what if you're terribly lazy and are still using the browser version on your phone 👀
@PashavanBijlert haha not lazy at all... Honestly the browser has features that clients lack (quote boosts, markdown syntax, depending on instance), but I just find the clients easier to use on phone. Maybe I'm the lazy one 😅
@dtpolet Ah sorry Delyle, forgot you were also on here 😅
