Everybody could use an extra hand—but what about a tail? 🐒

This tree-climbing animal is from a diverse group of early mammals called Cimolesta. It lived 52 million years ago in present-day Wyoming. 🌳

With an extra-long, prehensile tail, this critter could grip branches and move through ancient forests with ease. 🧗

While this mammal has no living descendants, its fossil offers a rare look back at a world long gone. 👋

Natural history IS art. 🎨🦴

Everybody gets their references from somewhere... but we definitely feel like we've seen some of these looks before.

Here's where we think they may have gotten their outfit inspo. 👀

Emma Chamberlain ➡️ Tiffany Stained Glass Mermaid

From one shimmering work of art to another—great work. 💯

Heidi Klum ➡️ Field Museum Muse

Why take inspiration when you can *become* the statue. Chiseled, polished, and ready for preservation... we have no notes. 📝

Beyoncé ➡️ SUE

Queen B *CLEARLY* took notes from our tyrant lizard king and sported this season's hottest new accessories: ribs, a spine, and a killer silhouette. 🦖
