You may not be aware of it, but there is a thriving community of artists who specialize in drawing extinct animals.
Inexplicably, the community has decided to spice things up by adding lasers into the mix.
Needless to say, #AddLasersToPaleoArt is the best thing happening on the internet right now:
It is giving us epic scenes like this one:
And another for #AddLasersToPaleoart, because I couldn't resist... this is what happens when Balaur gets friendzoned.
And this harrowing scene:
My contribution to #AddLasersToPaleoart . These parasaurs saw something they didn't like on that tree! Lol.
Or this Mad Max Thunderdome-esque scene:
ok, I have to stop with #AddLasersToPaleoart
It is successfully making this terror bird a whole lot more terrifying:
Now, that's a proper terror bird. (.gif) #AddLaserstoPaleoart
It is also giving us a fresh take on classic scientific problems like Brachiosaurus projectile vomiting:
My contribution to #AddLasersToPaleoart: Power-puking Brachiosaurus destroys puny theropod with its secret weapon.
Some people are reaching deep into the early beginnings of their career for inspiration:

A common theme involves tiny mammals being preyed upon by laser-wielding dinos:
During the Early Cretaceous, laser eye searchlights helped Dilong find its prey at night #addlaserstopaleoart
But mammals are also getting a chance to try out some lasers of their own:
There were often viscous #MesozoicMammal laser-battles. So many lives were lost. #AddLasersToPaleoart
Everyone knows mammals replaced dinosaurs due to advanced Mesozoic eye-laser evolution #AddLasersToPaleoart
Heck, even invertebrates are getting in on the action:
A little late to the party but the Flying Trilobite squadron is go #AddLaserstoPaleoart
Trilobites, unsurprisingly, seem to be especially vicious:
Trilobites with frickin' laser beams! #AddLasersToPaleoart
Still, you should never discount a properly-lasered gastropod:
These are my angry eyes! Our contribution to #AddLasersToPaleoart
Fuck yeah, #AddLasersToPaleoArt!
