🦖 Daily Paleo 🦖; Mammuthus exilis
From Late Pleistocene Channel Islands, the pygmy mammoth decends from the Columbian mammoths who colonized the channel Islands. Around 2 meters tall at the shoulder, they became extinct as a result of envoirmental changes and the arrival of humans

My drawing of Nanotyrannus, whose return to life makes Hell Creek ever more fascinating. Since it seemingly falls outside tyrannosauridae, I've given it a feathery coat to reflect its slightly more basal position
