Sadly, the dinosaur thing isn’t all that interesting. I mean, it IS (great fossils), but they’re just Morrison animals. Nothing new there. The most exciting aspect is that some good Brachiosaurus material is coming out of the ground, and that taxa is rare in North America.
and… no comments about the White Rhinodid we get genetic material? Will our descendants have that, at least?
I’m pretty sure the northern white rhino is represented in some zoos. This is a subspecies, by the way, not a species. But it is a shame.Elsewhere, the southern population of white rhino, which comes from ….. wracking brain here …. I’m thinking umfulozi but i could be wrong … is doing very well. There are a lot of them.But, I hasten to add that back pre-firearm days, white rhinos were seen in herds too large to count. That is not the case today.
That’s it. We need to arm the rhinos.
