Sometimes I think about borealopelta and start crying from the sheer volume of emotion it stirs within me

#Borealopelta#Dinosaurs#Paleoart#The Pictures of Dorian They#ID#Snazzled#I’m always just overwhelmed by the preservation and so deeply reminded that we’re all just weird little creatures in time and#everything is the same forever#like I could just reach out and pet its real snoot that it snuffled with. bridge a gap of 110 million years in a single gesture#just to show a gentle being on this beautiful earth a universal act of love. I could pet it like I pet the little furry domestic cats that#live in my house. It looks so peaceful. it’s just taking a little nap. a very very long nap#after a long beautiful day of snuffling through the vegetation when flowers were new#blinking under the same sun#I get incredibly emotional about this animal#You don’t know how badly I want to pet its snoot#It makes me feel real.#27.5#2024
