Madrid - Experts found fossils of giraffes Horn Three Xenokeryx amidalae in central Spain. They predict the animals are of a relative of the giraffe's long neck modern.
Initially experts suspect that the fossil is the ancestor of deer. However, the discovery of DNA in common.
For more than 40 million years old, animals are herbivorous animals in the overall majority. Animals, among others, cows, buffaloes, goats, giraffes, antelopes, camels, and a few other species that have become extinct.
Palaeomerycids, now extinct, is an animal pemamahbiak with three horns and a strange face is found in many areas. From Spain to China, 5-23 million years ago. At that time they lived in the Miocene Period.
Israel Sanchez and a team of researchers from the Museum Nacional de Ciencias Naturales in Madrid, studied the fossilized remains of Palaeomerycids, animal Xenokeryx amidalae.
Passable skull intact including three teeth and horns. One of the T-shaped horns
It made the team to conclude that Palaeomerycids not brothers with rusa-- dromomerycids ancestors.
Consequently, Sanchez and his team had to re-draw the family tree of animals pemamahbiak and put Palaeomerycids one Gurp with modern giraffe.
"Giraffes now has the characteristics of Africa. But in the Miocene there was a giraffe in Eurasia and Africa. The origin of animals was probably from Asia, specifically in Pakistan," said Sanchez as reported by the BBC,
"Concluding that Palaeomerycids ancestors of giraffes make important knowledge about the evolutionary history of horned, long-necked animal had mastered Euroasia and Africa," he added.
Moreover, Sanchez explained that pemamahbiak why animals were found throughout the world and is very sensitive to the habitat. Their evolution also brings the user changes the history of ecosystems that make them extinct.
