According to the British "Daily Mail" report, Belgian scientists recently unearthed an ancient According to relevant information, the unearthed mammal animal stone may have lived in a humid forest 55 million years ago. This fossil is mainly composed of ankle bones, with about ten fragments. This species has also been named "Dormaalocyon latouri", which is the name of the Belgian countryside where the fossil was unearthed.
Scientists use the fossil's restoration map to show that Dormaalocyon was an arboreal animal weighing about 10 kilograms. It mainly fed on smaller mammals and insects and looked like a combination of a small jaguar and a squirrel. This picture shows that this species has a long tail and a cat-like muzzle. Belgian paleontologist Floreal Sol has discovered that many types of mammals, such as cats and dogs, lions and bears, have the same bloodline as an arboreal mammal of unknown origin.
Through the analysis of nearly 14,000 teeth selected from the soil in the area where the fossil was unearthed, a total of nearly 40 mammalian species have been discovered, of which 280 new tooth samples were originally from an unknown species of new species.
Found from the unearthed teeth, their appearance is very primitive, so they probably originated in a very early era. These facts indicate that the unearthed fossils are very close to the origin of carnivores, and this origin is likely to be explosive. in Europe. From the unearthed ankle bone fossils, it was revealed that Dormaalocyon was an animal suitable for running in humid forests, which is also consistent with the natural environment in local history. Professor Sauer said, "Dormaalocyon provides information about the evolution of placental mammals after the disappearance of the largest dinosaurs, allowing scientists to propose the hypothesis that they may have become diversified in the late Paleocene." The study and understanding of Dormaalocyon is critical for restoring the adaptation of placental mammals to a carnivorous diet. That said, there are many more fossils yet to be discovered that could shed light on the origins of the most abundant domestic pets.
