Part three of three! In the past two videos we've learned how geographic isolation can affect evolution, but now it's time to apply these lessons to an entirely different cast of animals. What strange and amazing animals was paleobiogeography capable of cooking up? Watch to find out!

NOTES:

I DID NOT misspell Hatzeg. Despite the island's name traditionally being written as "Hațeg," the fact that we do not use the letter "ț" in the English language not only meant that the font I typically use could not actually spell it, but also considering my entire audience is english-speaking, I decided to spell Hatzeg in it's more readable form.

I DID misspell Franz Nopcsa's name however, that one is on me.
