It looks like it was drawn by a furry artist who specializes in particularly perverted characters. I love it!

Nature of Predators.

I did not expect a NoP reference here, but nevertheless it was what I immediately thought about seeing this image lmao.

I wonder if its panoramic vision overlaps in the front since the eyes are too close

Suddenly those creepy Renaissance paintings of animals make a lot more sense.

Is this from the never ending story?

[–] Scott_of_the_Arctic@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

Falkor wasn't played by Anthony Head in the version I saw.

[–] humorlessrepost@lemmy.world 9 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago) (1 children)

Despite my love for Jim Henson, I still can’t get over the movie adaptation turning Falkor into a fucking dog-worm.

[–] xorollo@leminal.space 4 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

Oh my gosh. Is there a book?!

[–] Ceruleum@lemmy.wtf 3 points 4 hours ago

There are two books ... ;-))

[–] TerHu@lemm.ee 6 points 6 hours ago

yes and my copy has the text in red and green ink depending on whether it’s describing reality of the fantasy world. it’s an awesome book!

I'm going to guess as an island species, it had no natural predators, and therefore the evolutionary pressure for it to have a wide field of view did not exist

[–] pjwestin@lemmy.world 4 points 18 hours ago

I mean, it it has pupils like that, it has a wide field of vision. That's the whole point of rectangular pupils. I would assume that having front-facing eyes would also give it depth perception, but maybe it needed that for making difficult jumps or something?

Is this the og Donkey from shork?

[–] JoeBidet@lemmy.ml 15 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It went extinct 5000y ago.. so it has to be a reconstitution based on fossils..?

[–] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 5 points 20 hours ago

5000 years could mean bones rather then fossils.

[–] ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml 31 points 1 day ago
