Instead, they reveal mammalian brains to be the product of millions of years of evolution and adaptation to environments.

Experts have continued to raise ethical and ecological issues with “de-extinction,” even as science has advanced to the point where manipulating mammalian genomes is technically possible.

Cats, rats and rabbits are believed to be coyotes’ preferred mammalian prey, she said.

The terror birds, which out-competed the mammals in occupying this particular ecological niche, may even have driven mammalian predators to take to the forests instead.

For the investigation of mammalian species communities and ecosystems it is therefore important to systematically record and analyse these regular and exceptional cases of mortality.
