Ancient Elephants Lived Mostly In Water

By Justin Gardner | Related entries in Animals, History, Republicans, Science

A recent study found that an ancient elephant ancestor called Moeritherium spent most of its time in rivers and swamps.

Scientists knew that elephants are related to modern aquatic creatures such as manatees, but they had never identified an ancient elephant relative that lived in water.

No wonder they’re wrinkly.

Why is no one covering how McCain’s economic plan will add trillions to the deficit? How his chief economic advisor admits that there will be no balancing of the budget, how Mccain’s tax palns are regressive, moreso than even Bush?
