myotragus definitely sold me gooballs at a phish show in ohio in the early 2000s
Lived on that island for 5 million years until humans showed up
Me reading up on Myotragus like “Oh, 4500 years ago! Finally an animal not made extinct by humanity!” UNTIL
bro what myotragus need to look at that bad he got fitted with the binocs?
This suggests that it was obligately a slow walker with a reduced step length, and lacked the ability to jump
bro ain’t going anywhere fast or difficult apparently. looking real close at plants to see if they’re poisonous?
i bet it’s for detecting birds of prey at a distance to buy enough time to shuffle into the bushes
islands might often be free of large terrestrial predators but you can’t stop birds
lmfao
Pretty sure I used to work with this guy.
We could have lived deliciously
GOOD post
