        So do whales. Their “singing” is actually just them screaming in fear of the hell they’re forced to inhabit.

      Wolves have contracted chronic wasting disease? I thought it had not spread from deer that we were aware of?

      It is spreading amongst the deer it is in like half the country now including where I’m at which is one of the first place it was noticed.

    Context for this:

    The common ancestor that links whales and deer existed millions of years ago and exhibited features shared by both groups. This ancestor likely possessed basic artiodactyl characteristics, such as an even number of toes on each foot and a certain bone structure within the ear. Over time, as these creatures diverged to inhabit distinct environments, their physical traits adapted accordingly. Despite these differences, the underlying genetic similarities persist, revealing their deep-rooted connection.

      Was the common ancestor carnivorous or herbivorous?

        Almost all herbivores are opportunistic carnivores; deer eat birds. Presumably some great swimmers thought the krill (or some other sea life) represented a great opportunity

          Weird to think that deer descended from krill eaters. Maybe that’s why they love salt licks so much.
