Paleontologist Guillermo Rougier, Ph.D., professor of anatomical sciences and neurobiology at the University of Louisville, and his team have reported their discovery of two skulls from the first known mammal of the early Late Cretaceous period of South America. The new critter, named Cronopio dentiacutus by the paleontologists, is a dryolestoid, an extinct group distantly related to today's marsupials and placentals. Credit: University of Louisville

Saber tooth or not... it’s a squirrel. My dogs would go after them, too!

They hit that nail on the head, didn’t they?

I'm sure everyone is already thinking that the people that did the artist's rendering from the jaw bones they found just might have been influenced by the artwork in "Ice Age"...?

“The new dryolestoid, ‘Cronopio,’ is without a doubt one of the most unusual mammals that I have seen, extinct or living, with its elongate, compressed snout and oversized canine teeth. What it did with that unusual morphology perhaps may come to light with additional discoveries… .”
Obviously, it had evolved to eat apples on the other side of the picket fence.

put “Sabre Toothed Squirrels” on the list of potential new team nicknames for the University of North Dakota

I am just happy that the gazillion squirrel running around outside aren’t saber-tooth squirrels.

Why is everything from the Ice Age era and before, ‘Saber-toothed’?.........

Better a saber toothed squirrel than a priapic porcupine.
