🦖☄️ Paleontologist Michael Benton and meteoriticist Monica Grady reconstruct the final day of the #Cretaceous in real-time – from the silent #asteroid visible as a #star, to the fireball and incineration, to mega-tsunamis, global #wildfires, acid #rain, and a decade-long #winter that snuffed out three-quarters of #Earth’s species.

🦖☄️ 66 million years ago, an #asteroid wiped out 75% of #Earth’s species. The survivors – small #birds, #mammals, #turtles, and #fish – shared key traits: a small body size, the ability to burrow or shelter in #water, and flexible diets. Researchers explain how size, diet, and luck determined who lived and who didn’t.

"Extinction of unique US animals and plants at risk in wildfire on California’s ‘Galapagos of North America’
Extinction has always been a risk on Santa Rosa Island. Researchers have hailed the California island as having the most prolific aleontological record of extinct species such as pygmy mammoth, flightless sea duck, vampire bat and giant deer mouse.
The environment is now home to animals and plants found nowhere else on Earth, earning its nickname 'Galapagos of North America.' A human-caused wildfire now threatens those unique animals and plants with extinction, according to on-site fire officials.
Over a third of the island has burned since a wildfire started on May 15, which burned 18,379 acres and was at 87% containment as of Sunday morning, according to Channel Islands National Park officials."

The last known caterpillar that could have become a Sacramento Mountains checkerspot butterfly has died.
The term for an animal that is the sole survivor of a species is endling. In a sense, we are all endlings—each the last of our kind.
The loss of a species is not simply the loss of a biological category—it is the loss of countless unique individuals and their collective potential.

Thanks Popeye! I'm sorry you had boat troubles, but you suck!
This US island is home to flora found nowhere else. Now, a #wildfire threatens #extinction: ‘watching with trepidation’
Firefighters are racing to douse flames on #SantaRosa Island as experts express concern for survival of its unique habitat
Roque Planas
Sat 23 May 2026"A 67-year-old sailor crashed his boat into the rocks on the island’s shore last week, according to the US Coast Guard. The man fired at least two flares in order to catch the attention of passing vessels, prompting speculation that the shots first set the blaze. Coast Guard officers rescued the man, who did not appear to suffer any injuries.
"Footage obtained by SFGate, however, showed a burning sailboat on the shore of Santa Rosa Island – presumably the same boat crashed by the marooned sailor. It was unclear whether the boat exploded on its own or the sailor set fire to it."
