Comments

1. Rubyali: it's amazing how often our preconceptions get challenged by new research - what else were we mislabelling as "cheetahs" back in the day?
2. Emmac: that changes everything I thought about iredian wildlife
3. Ethan: people still get the name "cheetah" wrong so often
4. Marek: this is gonna blow people's minds who thought they knew extinct american species
5. Ember Wolf: wildlife adaptability is still mind-blowing to me even after all these years 🐺
6. Milanalixo: those early fossils always kept me up late thinking about scale
7. Pale Falcon: it's funny how our ideas about species' habitats get turned on their head sometimes
8. Iron Vesper: it's funny how often we get our expectations about ancient creatures totally wrong. didn't they think the "cheetah" was too small to have survived in the Yukon?
