For over 20 million years, proboscideans were relatively small mammals. None looked quite like tusked, trunk elephants as we know them today, and the largest were comparable in size to a large boar.
The great proboscideans also snapped trees, trampled shrubs, and fertilized the soil with their excrement, thus supporting the growth of biodiverse steppe grasses, which reflected sunlight and ...
For the de-extinction process, the goal would be to ensure that the thylacine could survive in the presence of the cane toad. But Colossal has also begun a conservation effort, called the Colossal ...
(via PBS Eons) Long-jawed proboscideans were doing pretty well for themselves. That is, until they were all rapidly replaced with proboscideans with long, flexible trunks instead: mammoths, mastodons, ...
What suddenly made long jaws such a liability? Well it looks like we can thank a changing climate for the evolution of the elephant’s trunk. Eons is available to stream on pbs.org and the free ...
The model was fed data on 2,118 fossils across 175 species of proboscideans that lived between 35 million and 10,000 years ago, including changes to their morphology such as tusk size. The model also ...
A man who was exploring in Madison County, Mississippi, found a 7-foot, Ice Age-era Columbian mammoth tusk before scientists arrived to evaluate the rare discovery.
Life Early humans began wiping out elephant relatives 1.8 million years ago Elephant-like species started going extinct faster when early humans evolved, and the rate of extinction rose even ...
Brains may be the secret to humankind’s success as a species, but in the animal world there’s nothing sexier than brute force. In many cases, only the mightiest specimens ever get the chance ...
A mammoth tusk sticking out of the ground on Wrangel Island. Photo: Love Dalén The team analyzed 21 high-coverage mammoth genomes, ranging in age from approximately 52,300 years ago to just 4,333 ...
Summary: The authors were trying to understand the relation between the development of large trunks and longirrostrine mandibles in bunodont proboscideans of Miocene, and how it reflects the variation ...
