The type of expert named “crazy creature” is said to have “strange and unique” characteristics during the period he lived.
In the research that scientists from different parts of the world wrote in the journal Nature, the skeleton of a mammal in northern Madagascar that lived in the same period as the dinosaurs was examined.
Scientists have described the characteristics of the new species they call ‘Adalatherium hui’ (crazy creature) as ‘strange and unique’ for the period in which they live. According to the findings, the creature, which had teeth that had not been found in any mammal before, lived in the late Cretaceous period 66 million years ago.
THE FIRST TIME EVERYTHING EXPLORED
In the southern hemisphere, the creature, which has been discovered throughout the ancient continent of Gondwana, is reported to be the size of a rat.
Experts believe that the plant-fed Adalatherium can be a strong digging animal, but it is also highly mobile, such as running.
‘THE WHOLE RULE IS WASHED’
“It’s hard to imagine that a mammal like Adalatherium could have evolved, given the knowledge we know of the skeletal anatomy of all living and extinct mammals,” said David Krause, curator of the Denver Museum of Nature and History, of the team that wrote the investigation. He flexes and even breaks many rules. “
Simone Hoffmann, a paleontologist at the New York Institute of Technology, said the uniqueness of this mammal could be due to its isolation on an island.
