herpguy Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060309/ap_on_sc/species_survivor I have always found it amazing that we are finding species that are thought to be extinct, but I'm blown away by this; a species that has actually been alive for 11 million years when it was thought to be extinct all that time. Diatomydae, a squirrel-like species, has recently been re-discovered from 11 million years ago. Before this, only fossil records showed the rodent existed. This may serve as more evidence that many different cryptids, like the Loch Ness Monster for example, may be animals from millions of years ago.
