It was also a cold-blooded mammal.

EDIT: new information suggests they probably were not.

No, it wasn't. Or to be exact, we don't know, but it's highly unlikely. In 2009, the bone growth pattern of Myotragus was thought to occur only in cold blooded animals, but in 2012 they found it is widespread in extant mammals as well.

Oh, that's good to know! I wondered how a cold-blooded mammal could be a thing.

~~TIL there was a 5M year old cold-blooded mammal that humans killed off (but ofc).~~

Today I was reminded that science grows as new discoveries are made.

But we still killed the little beasties off. Nothing has changed there.

I actually missed the part that we killed them off. "Heh heh, look at the funny-faced little goats. Let's kill 'em!" Jerks.

Probably because of capitalism.

he looks like one of those guys who has a million broken down cars and lawn mowers on his yard but he can fix your car with a pepsi can and some zipties if you throw him 20 bucks

He looks like he knows what's in that embarrassing picture of SpongeBob at the Christmas party.
