Evolution question:
What do you think was the biggest contributor to mammalian success after the KT?🤔
Personal opinion: if your competitors and predators are dead it's hard not to succeed
@KARiley40 for sure! If you can fill a niche and feed yourself all the more power to you!
@Burleybanana I'd agree with that, and to it, the rise of flowering plants, which meant the eventual rise of fruit. This opened the way for more omnivores and opportunist. You don't really need super specialized teeth/beaks to deal with fruit, like you do for fibrous plants or meat.
