Headline: Big Plant Eaters Cause Climate Change; Rise in Temperature Killed Them Off due to Their Huge Gaseous Discharges
Serves them right! Melting the Ice Cap and all! Why it even caused humans to grab their guns and shoot all the buffalo during the 1860s. How does this square with ‘Animal Rights activists’ demanding every one stop eating meat and eat only plants?
Really?
South America’s primitive canids survived the Pleistocene extinction and their sole American representative, the gray fox and its dwarf cousin, the Channel Islands fox, are are still with us.
So are the xenarthans, hystricomorphs and metatherians.
Of course, the large representatives all went extinct.
Methane had nothing to do with the extant fauna we witness today.
