Title: A random fact
Post by: Duke Speedy of Leighton on 25 December 2018, 02:43:58 PM
Owls evolved between 38-54 million years ago.
Barn Owls evolved about 24 million years ago and once were three times their size.

Really random huh?

Does this mean in 22 million years humans will be about 3'4"?

Given current trends, in 22M years we may be the size of a titanosaur :)

The owls. Obviously. That's why they're called Barn Owls! ;)

The largest 'dragonfly'  that ever lived, had a wingspan of 30 inches....So they've shrunk too !

(It wasn't actually a dragon fly.....But it certainly looked like one.)
