    so, it’s a predator goat.

    • protist@mander.xyz ⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      I’m going to guess as an island species, it had no natural predators, and therefore the evolutionary pressure for it to have a wide field of view did not exist

      source
      • fristislurper@feddit.nl ⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

        Probably, although there would still need to be some evolutionary pressure for forward facing eyes… I wonder what it is.

        Curious to consider that by being an apex consumer, it is a predator by default, even if its prey is flora.

      • pjwestin@lemmy.world ⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

        I mean, it it has pupils like that, it has a wide field of vision. That’s the whole point of rectangular pupils. I would assume that having front-facing eyes would also give it depth perception, but maybe it needed that for making difficult jumps or something?

        Nah, even Satan is uncomfortable looking at that one. Sacrifice not accepted. In fact, resurrected.

      I did not expect a NoP reference here, but nevertheless it was what I immediately thought about seeing this image lmao.

        Not having access to NoP anymore was the worse part of being permabanned from reddit. I love it.

    It was also a cold-blooded mammal.

    source
    • Kornblumenratte@feddit.org ⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      No, it wasn’t. Or to be exact, we don’t know, but it’s highly unlikely. In 2009, the bone growth pattern of Myotragus was thought to occur only in cold blooded animals, but in 2012 they found it is widespread in extant mammals as well.

      source
      • samus12345@lemm.ee ⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

        Oh, that’s good to know! I wondered how a cold-blooded mammal could be a thing.

        source
    • HellsBelle@sh.itjust.works ⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      TIL there was a 5M year old cold-blooded mammal that humans killed off (but ofc).

      source
      • samus12345@lemm.ee ⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

        I actually missed the part that we killed them off. “Heh heh, look at the funny-faced little goats Let’s kill 'em!” Jerks.

    It went extinct 5000y ago… so it has to be a reconstitution based on fossils…?

      5000 years could mean bones rather then fossils.
