Save the Wooly Mammoth before it's too late!

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 28 points 6 months ago (1 children)

the columbian mammoth is the last of the mammoths to die out about 13kyears ago, very recent, by insular dwarfism in channel islands of CALIFORNIA. fun fact mammoths are more related asian elephants than african bush elephants/forest. ELEPHAS vs loxodon.

Too bad there won't be anyone left alive to remember your hard work. But thanks, still.

I've unironically still got hope. I think we live in a really cool time.

Didn’t we likely play a significant role in the extinction of megafauna all over the world much sooner than that?

Amazing topic!

I always thought it was suspect that everything big and tasty, and everything dangerous died out due to climate change right at the exact moment that well armed humans arrived, while all the less dangerous and less tasty animals survived the climate change

Australia's swamp monster diprotodon (very like a hippo) died out coincidentally as modern humans arrived — thousands of years away from when climate change killed mammoths and smilodon when h. sap turned up

I'm not surprised to see that paper

I hope you're an archaeologist and not a paleontologist.

Otherwise we got beef

This is an exciting pitch, and an ominous one too.
