Extinction Risk, Living Fossils, Asteroid vs Birds
Today, you\u2019ll learn about a new study shedding light on what species are most vulnerable to extinction from climate change, why species of living fossils take their time evolving, and a new theory about how the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs also impacted birds.
