实际上,长毛犀出现在青藏高原要早于冰河时期约一百万年。
That's about a million years before the Ice Age started, in fact.
王晓明说:“至少长毛犀的例子就表明在冰河时期还没有开始的时候,长毛犀已经适应了青藏高原寒冷的环境。”
"At least in the case of the woolly rhino, it actually adapted itself in the cold environment in the Tibetan Plateau before the Ice Age has even started," Wang says.
王晓明还表示他在青藏高原收集到了古蓝绵羊的化石,古蓝绵羊也是存在于冰河时期的动物之一。从理论上来讲,古蓝绵羊是一种山羊。
Wang says he has other Tibetan fossils of an ancient blue sheep - technically a goat - that also eventually became a citizen of the Ice Age.
