Hildibrand's mother, Julyan Manderville, used to roast whole myotragus in a giant oven. She was partial to the billies for the flavor, but he found them a little tough

One of the first female scientists to work at the Museum, Dorothea would lead expeditions in England and further afield.
Her discoveries include Myotragus, a goat-like antelope that lived around 6,000 years ago and a tooth that was the first evidence that miniature elephants once lived on Cyprus.

It was once proposed that humans tried to domesticate Myotragus as it went extinct, on the basis of horns that were seemingly clipped off. It’s more likely this was the result of taphonomy, including other Myotragus gnawing on the horns of dead ones.

Myotragus balearicus! I don’t have any specific ideas for a scene in mind. I just want these little weirdos to get some time in the spotlight.

Myotragus would also be fun because the reconstructions are haunting. I need to know what it really looked like.

🐐 Myotragus balearicus, extinct by 3000–4000 BC, was the only goat with forward-facing eyes, evolving uniquely in the Balearic Islands.

“How are birds reptiles if they are warm blooded?”
Great question.
Birds evolved within the dinosauria clade and we are what we come from. You can’t evolve out of a clade.
Fun fact, there was a type of cold blooded goat, Myotragus, but despite that, it’s still a mammal.
Nature is wild man.
