Curious Kids: How do you know your best friend is happy, even without a wagging tail?

  • No comments
A dog wagging its tail is one example, and we usually interpret a wagging tail as a sign that the dog is happy. But that's not the only way dogs can express their joy, and there are many animals that don't have a tail or don't use it to talk to each other.

Ukhaatherium nessovi, a giant Cretaceous-age animal discovered in 1994 in Mongolia's Gobi Desert by the Mongolian Academy of Sciences and the American Museum of Natural History, is one of the many mammals used to study the placental mammal tree of life. When the tiny creature's remarkably well-preserved skeleton was discovered This time, the researchers were surprised to find the presence of epipubic bones, which were attached to both sides of the groin. Today this feature is only found in egg-laying mammals such as the duck and marsupial mammals such as the kangaroo. But their presence in this fossil showed that the first placental mammals also shared the same feature.
