“FIRST there was the Permian era; then came the Triassic period. Now palaeontologists have discovered an intriguing interlude, the porcine age, when pig-like creatures ruled the earth.
The animals, known as lystrosaurs, were among the only survivors of the greatest mass extinction event the world has seen, when, around 251m years ago, 95% of all living species were wiped out by a series of volcanic eruptions.”
Ahhh - piggy power!
I knew there was more to piggies than meets the eye!
