This is Naraboryctes, a marsupial mole from the early miocene in Northern Australia. They were the heaviest known marsupial moles at nearly half a pound. This animal also lived in the rainforest, compared to it's dessert living relatives today. Art by the great

Meiolania was one of the largest tortoises ever, reaching 2.5 metres in length. They lived during the Miocene & Holocene & the last relict populations survived on New Caledonia until 3,000 years ago!

(3) From Miocene Iberia to Pliocene India, almost-if-not-every species of animal that inhabited those ecosystems then are now vanished. And yet, comparing the ecological *communities* as a whole, a remarkable continuity is observed.

Happy World Giraffe Day! To celebrate let's check out one of the oddest members of the Giraffe family, Sivatherium. This animal lived in Africa and the Indian subcontinent and first appeared around the late Miocene (~7 MYA), but might have only gone extinct 8,000 years ago.

A 2013 analysis by and coworkers put the Orrorin femur into context of Miocene apes, fossil hominins, and living apes. Chimpanzees and gorillas diverge strongly in their femoral morphology from their close living and fossil relatives.
