Horton heard a Who.
The evidence suggests that some dinosaurs, at least, were warm blooded.

i'm a hairy mammoth
My life is very bad
They've run out of my sandwiches
And that makes me sad

Theres a caveman out to get me
Hit me with his club.
he only does it when i'm pissed.
he waits outside the pub.

Considering it's a miracle the panda actually isn't already extinct because of it's almost complete indifference to reproduction..

Could it be, the Mammoths also lost all interest in sex, maybe because of the cold weather and unromantic surroundings,
and found it easier to just pretend to have constant headaches...???

Thanks Steve, and you're correct when you say you're going to feed the dinosaurs!

Birds are theropod dinosaurs related to the famous Velociraptor and T. rex. Most of the characteristics we associate with birds evolved in non-avian dinosaurs first: feathers, probably flight, wishbone etc etc all were present before birds appeared. Modern birds appeared before the end of the Cretaceous and are one of several lineages that existed before the K-T extinction.

With over 10,000 species of bird still alive today, we're still in the age of the dinosaurs. I'm pretty sure they'll be here long after we've gone.

The last Mammoths were probably a victim of climate change. They were found on an island that could have cut them off from the mainland with rising seas. Natural selection kept the smallest versions alive by not dying of starvation by depleting a limited food source.

Unrelated to the last island Mammoths, island bears became larger as they succeeded. Today the largest known bear is the Kodiak Island bear. This goes against the rules of Islands selecting smaller animals possibly because of an innate swimming ability by bears.

Or feasting on miniature mammoths?

naaa, they probably inbreed themselves to death like rich royalty

"lost all interest in sex, maybe because of the cold weather"

Since when is it COLD weather that discourages mating?

When the weather's hot and sticky,
that's no time for dunkin' dicky;
When the frost is on the punkin,
That's the time for dicky dunkin'

well speaking for me and the mrs..

when she starts moaning about being freezing despite having the central heating on full,
and wears 2 hideous impenetrable fleece onesies, one under the other, in bed... 🙄
