Mysterious jungle squirrel with scaly tail declared a 'living fossil'
Mysterious jungle squirrel with scaly tail declared a 'living fossil' Never seen alive, Zenkerella has changed little in 50 million years. At first glance, the world's most elusive and mysterious mammal looks like a small, underfed squirrel with a poof of black fur covering a scaly tail. Its DNA, however, paints a more colorful picture, with an evolutionary history virtually unchanged over tens of millions of years. http://www.mnn.com/earth-matters/ani...-living-fossil |
