DOI: 10.1098/rsos.172453 [[Burial in the ancient #sea of #Zealandia : a Toipahautea whale skeleton is slowly covered by sand 27-28 million years ago, on its path to becoming a fossil || Reconstruction by Chris Gaskin #sciArt #scientificillustration ]] A new #genus and #newspecies of extinct #baleenwhale , โ Toipahautea #waitaki (Late Oligocene, New Zealand) is based on a skull and associated bones, from the lower #Kokoamu Greensand, about 27.5 Ma (local upper #Whaingaroan Stage, early #Chattian ). The upper jaw includes a thin, elongate and apparently toothless maxilla, with evidence of arterial supply for baleen. Open sutures with the premaxilla suggest a flexible (kinetic) upper jaw. The blowhole is well forward. The mandible is bowed laterally and slightly dorsally; unlike the #Eomysticetidae , there are no mandibular alveoli, and the coronoid process is tapered and curved laterally. Jaw structure is consistent with baleen-assisted gulp-feeding. The age of early Chattian makes โ Toipahautea a very early, if not the oldest named, toothless and baleen-bearing #mysticete , suggesting that the full transition from toothed to baleen-bearing probably occurred in the Early Oligocene. Late Oligocene #mysticetes vary considerably in jaw form and kinesis, tooth form and function, and development of baleen, implying a wide range of raptorial, suctorial and filter-feeding behaviour. More study may elucidate the function of jaws, teeth and baleen in terms of opportunist/generalist feeding, as in modern gray whales, versus specialized feeding. We here propose that early mysticetes, when transitioned from toothed to baleen-bearing, were generalists and opportunists instead of specializing in any forms of feeding strategies. In addition, two different phylogenetic analyses placed โ Toipahautea either in a polytomy including crown Mysticeti, or immediately basal to the crown, and above โ Eomysticetidae in both cases. ... #whalewednesday #paleoart

It's not "if" , but "when".

The beautifully coloured Takahฤ was thought to be extinct in 1898, only for individuals to be found 50 years later in the remote Murchison Mountains. As of October last year, only 347 of these beautiful birds survive, 2 of which were re-released into the Zealandia Sanctuary in 2015 as part of a countrywide effort to save the species from extinction ๐ซ #takahe #bird #endangered #extinction #conservation #flightlessbird #rare #zealandia #sanctuary #birdwatching #twitcher #endemic #newzealand #newzealandwildlife #birdsofnewzealand #birdphotography #wildlifephotography #travel

How lucky are we to have a place like this within our capital city? #Zealandia is a wildlife sanctuary covered in native bush and teeming with native fauna. Saw takahe, hฤซhฤซ, kฤkฤ, tฤซeke, tลซฤซ, pฤซwakawaka, toutouwai, tuatara, and weta ;) Have to go back to see the rest!
I am excited that my lithograph, โZealandiaโ (featured here) will be featured in the Exhibit โEditionsโ at the Solander Gallery in Wellington, New Zealand 26 Aprilโ19 May 2018. This print was inspired by my time in Wellingtonโs urban ecosanctuary #zealandia . Auckland Print Studio: Editions is a selection of recent prints produced by various artists working with Master Printmaker, John Pusateri at Auckland Print Studio. Each artists brings their unique artistic vision to bear within the limitations and creative opportunities found within printmaking mediums. The collaboration experience of working with a Master Printmaker is unique for each artist and is shaped by the strengths and personality of each individual. In this exhibition of lithographs and woodcuts, it is the act of drawing that is the fundamental thread that binds them together. Each work hinges on the strength of the artistโs command of drawing, whether this is by hand, digital and laser techniques. Featured Artists: Tim Musso, Dan Heskamp, Jude Rae (Courtesy of Fox/Jensen/McCrory), Trevor Parker, Jason Greig (Courtesy of Hamish McKay Gallery), Felix Vining, Stephen Ellis (Courtesy of Sanderson Contemporary), Amy Blinkhorne, Paul McLachlan, Lonnie Hutchinson (Courtesy of Bartley + Company Art) and John Pusateri. Exhibitions runs from 26 April to 19 May

North Island Robin. This cute bird is brave and curious. When you sit anywhere and take pictures this bird comes and looks and comes closer and looks and than the bird sits next to you. If you stretch out one's hand you probably can pet this bird. The next days more bird pictures. I was yesterday at @visit_zealandia. Was an amazing day.

"Autumn" - when I see a kฤkฤ, I see autumn and a paintbox of yellow ochre, cinnabar, burnt sienna, and umber. But these gorgeous shades are hidden under their wings and tummies. From above they are camouflaged in grey and brown to hide from their aerial predator - the now-extinct Haast's eagle. Now their mammalian predators hunt by smell, and kฤkฤ smell like a primordial musky forest... โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ "Autumn" is now showing at my "Birds on a Wire" exhibition at @edgesworkshop in Havelock North. Available in small, medium, and large limited-edition prints on archival fine-art paper from $85 to $350 with 10% of my proceeds going to support @visit_zealandia.

The #NewZealand #kaka is a vulnerable #parrot that has greatly declined across its traditional range as a result of habitat loss, predation by introduced predators like rats, possums and stoats; and competition from wasps and bees for the honeydew excreted by scale insects, an important food. #Zealandia , Wellington, NewZealand.

This is a South Island Takahe ... a large flightless member of the Rail family and indigenous to New Zealand. It was thought to be extinct in the late 1800s but birds were found in the mountains near Te Anau in the 1940s. Birds have been successfully relocated to various sanctuaries and predator-free islands.
