Extremely cool video!

When I lived in Saskatoon, I had a tiny little house in one of the original residential parts of the city, which was down in the river valley itself. We were about a ten-block walk to the river (South Saskatchewan).

One winter morning as I was heading off to work, I went out my front door and into the street to get into my car, and spotted a dog coming right down the middle of the street at me, about a half-block away. I stood and watched as it got closer, and realized it was a coyote. It must have come into the city via the river and its green margins, and then into my neighbourhood. It went right by me, not a care in the world.

One of my neighbours up the street was a newcomer to Canada. As it got close to his property, I heard him call out "Oh, here doggie!" or something like that. I yelled at him that it wasn't a dog and he shouldn't try to pet it...

Saber-Toothed Predator Connects Permian Northern and Southern Hemisphere Faunas
Inostrancevia was a tiger-sized, saber-toothed gorgonopsian that lived on the supercontinent Pangea during the Permian period, approximately 252 million years ago. The new fossil discovery in South Africa suggests that Inostrancevia migrated 11,300 km across Pangea, filling a gap in a faraway ecosystem that had lost its top predators, before going extinct itself.
