Also on the "disappearance" of long-necked animals-- giraffes, ostrich, eastern long-necked turtle, giraffe weevil, etc. still exist. Just a sampling/ perception error I think- also asking like where did all the big man-eaters of nature go? Still plenty alive today, just more conspicuous than the weirder/ more ferocious types we romanticize of dino ages or ice age periods it seems
