Fossilised glider takes the origin of mammals back to the Triassic

Aaah gliding mammals already evolved since the mesozoic, and yet we only have one flying mammal today. Dis sucks.

The triassic was so fascinating. Crocodilomorphs, dinosaurs and mammals all vying to dominate.
Basal mammals were the largest herbivores. Dinosaurs had the largest omnivores. Archosaurs dominated apex predators niches and medium sized herbivores niche. Both dinosaurs and mammals had medium sized predators.

Ears, shmears! Check if they have boobies! Prob solv.

I thought they knew this for a while. IDK I just remember hearing mammals originated in the Triassic alongside dinosaurs but were not commonplace until a couple million years after the extinction.

So, couldn't they have evolved the advanced ear structure separately? Like two separate evolutionary trees can also lead to the same, right?

Mammals are cool.

Nice video. Short and sweet, and I felt like I learnt a little something.

Oh, is that why all the best echolocators are mammals?

Wow

Down thumb taxonomic hair splitting.

Incredible!

Fascinating!

Mammal of the gaps?

Sweet. Mammalogy was one of my favorite classes back in my college years.
