Course Description
Overview
Explore the fascinating relationship between mammals and climate change during the Eocene epoch in North America through this 49-minute lecture from the Royal Tyrrell Museum Speaker Series. Join Dr. Alexander Dutchak from the University of Calgary as he delves into the evolutionary adaptations and ecological shifts of mammals in response to the warming climate of the Eocene period. Discover how these ancient "warm fuzzies" provide valuable insights into past climate change events and their potential implications for modern-day mammalian species facing similar environmental challenges.
