A newly
discovered, semi-aquatic mammal – which would have lived alongside the
dinosaurs – had the streamlined appearance of a water rodent, feet almost
identical to a platypus and teeth that grew like a reptile’s. It is an ancient mammal
that replace its teeth throughout its
life.
The
researchers who studied the near-complete, 120-million-year-old fossil, named
Dongoconodon platycauda, say its disparate anatomy offers a window into early
mammal evolution. That is what the evolutionists say.
Evolution
and millions of years are not the way some animals evolve. The believe in millions of years is not a
scientific one.
D.
platycauda was found in 2018 in Liaoning, China. Shundong Bi at Yunnan University, China, and
his colleagues studied the fossil after the collector who found it took it to
the Mongolia Museum of Natural History. When it was alive, the mammal would
have weighed up to 190 grams and measured about 40 centimetres long
