NeutralScience

- Researchers have discovered ancient footprints of large, bone-crushing dogs in the Ashfall Fossil Beds of northeastern Nebraska, dating back 12 million years. This finding suggests that these carnivorous animals may have survived the catastrophic eruption of Yellowstone, which blanketed parts of North America in ash.
- The implications of this discovery are significant as it provides insights into the resilience of certain species in the face of environmental disasters. It also enhances the understanding of prehistoric ecosystems and the survival strategies of large carnivores during cataclysmic events.
