Scientists Exhume Ancient Cat-sized Mammal Named After The Hobbit's 'Beorn'
News 18Paleontology experts from the University of Colorado managed to exhume parts of teeth and lower jawbones of three mammals dating back to almost 66 million years ago. The mammals are believed to have roamed all around the continent of North America post the extinction of the dinosaurs about 66 million years ago. One of the mammals is the size of a cat and is named Beornus Honeyi, after Beorn, the fictional character from the movie Hobbit, due to the puffy cheek teeth the mammal honed. However, the newly discovered mammals hint towards the opposite direction.” The three distinct fossils discovered are a small chunk of the entire exhumation drive.
