Natural History II

[jonusx]

Most educated peoples are familiar with that shaggy, lumbering ancestor of the modern elephant, the Woolly Mammoth. However, he was only one member of a large family of prehistoric proboscideans that included the slightly smaller group of animals known as mastodons, as well as the diminutive race of poison-skinned South American protocloids

I would, but I feel I must first address the pterosaurs. You see, I watched a provocative film over at Greg's house last night entitled "Pterodactyl." It satrred Coolio as an ill-fated US Army captain battling what seemed like hundreds of what were NOT pterodactyls at all! See my post for more info.
