All over the world, Kangaroos and Walby are a well -known symbol of Australia, but a new discovery highlights the deep -connected environmental identities of Australia and New Guinea.
Australian experts from the University of Flieders have described a new generation of Fosel Kingaro from Central Australia, which has only linked it to the Kangaro tribe of forests found in the New Guinea forests.
According to a complex gossip record, according to a complex gossip record, a group of jungle valleys, known as Dorcoceni, were relatives on the Australian soil about 6 million years ago.
The new species of this “ridiculous Little Walby” have been named Dorpecups Coppy Coppy, which is because its bones were found at the Alkota Station in the southern northern northern Territory of the Cowpt Hill.
Lead investigator Dr Ishaq Kerr says the jungle’s Walby probably has been dispersed from Australia to New Guinea about 12 million years ago and disappeared from Australia for unknown reasons in the last 5 million years.
“At that time, New Guinea and Mainland were connected by a ‘land tower’ from time to time through a ‘land tower’ by a ‘land tower’, rather than a ‘land tower’, rather than separated from the flood -hit Taurus.
“When the Taurus Strait was once again flooded, however, the animal population was disconnected from their Australian relatives, and therefore did not experience the dramatically drying, which still describes most of Australia.”
Researchers say that there are many properties of forests living in dorcopestoes coupling, but they lived in a very different environment. His house was dry, Skarobi Bush, which had a large number of malley and some dilapidated woodland, around the skins and lakes.
“This species has crowded fast, but only for a short period of time, the leaves, fruits and cookies move into more open areas than safe plants safe to feed,” says Dr. Kerr says.
These prehistoric links between Australia’s more barren outbacks and New Guinea’s wet, forestry and mountainous regions appear in the two fossils discovered before the Upper Mesian in southeastern Australia.
This dryland of these species is part of the ancient group of the ancient groups of the Walibis, called Dorcapson, with six surviving species found only in New Guinea’s forests.
Professor Gwen Pradox, co -authors of this study have just been published in the journal Elechinga: an Australian Journal of PaulovanologyNew Guinea’s forest volcanoes know very little for science, most of them with basic information such as diet and residence.
“Living forests are beautiful and strange, with slightly sad, whispering faces. Their strong, curved tail is used like the fifth organs during a slow movement, such as gray kangaroos, except that the tail is only very touched by the soil.”
Researchers at the University of Philiders hope that when they continue to investigate the Australian Papuan evolutionary bilateral relations, they can help build relations and contacts in the Taurus Strait.
Dr. Kerr explains, “Our research has taken us twice to Papua New Guinea,” and in the middle of the last year we spent weeks to dig Morsopil fossils along the cliffs on the river Watot in eastern PNG. University staff and local miners and villagers were very warm and friendly and helpful to us.
“This experience showed me how common is in our two countries in the present era, as in the past.”
