I was watching a show on Animal Planet a few weeks ago where the host would search for animals deemed extinct in hopes of finding them and getting them protected. The host had heard claims of dwarf hippos in Madagascar. There were a lot of accounts of dwarf hippos surviving into modern times and not having gone extinct 2-3000yrs ago. At the end of the episode the host and his African partner discovered a skull dating back only 200yrs and re-writing the history books on the subject of the species. It was pretty interesting. He also re-discovered a few species around the world. So, maybe there is some truth to the stories.Lucashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07207866890959996109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3739684561063978507.post-62525911198422306502020-03-14T19:40:06.160+00:002020-03-14T19:40:06.160+00:00Thank you so much for this interesting information...Thank you so much for this interesting information, which I have incorporated accordingly into my article - I am extremely grateful to you for bringing it to my attention. Hopefully, the team will now conduct similar analyses with fitoaty DNA to determine its genetic identity and origin too.Dr Karl Shukerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06222845702628862829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3739684561063978507.post-91212625323947465032020-03-14T18:27:38.091+00:002020-03-14T18:27:38.091+00:00there is an article on the AAAS[Science magazine]w... there is an article on the AAAS[Science magazine]website about large cats found in Madagascar.DNA tests link them to domestic cats from the southern Arabian penninsula.I don't know how to do links,but the story is dated 3/10/20.Maybe this is one piece of the puzzle.Robert Lohmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04622944896271875221noreply@blogger.com
