Jackal - evolutionary history
Jackals in the world today by the same ancestor of all mammals, rodents Cretaceous looks like a small insect-eating animals. Sixty-five million years ago, the end of the dinosaur age, these animals have the opportunity to evolve and differentiate into all kinds of mammals in the world today. Carnivores about six million years ago the ancient New World appears. The oldest is a small ancient predator cat, although known as a cat, but it is all cats, dogs, the bear family, Mustelidae, hyena Branch, musk cats and fins Branch (seals sea lions for a class) all animals common ancestor. About four thousand Eight million years ago, little differentiation out of the ancient cats and dogs cats suborder suborder categories. Canine originated in the late Eocene, about four million years ago, they are carnivores, the oldest group, the first differentiated from small cats out of the ancient. The evolution of canids have three main lines, namely, the three subfamilies of Canidae: dogs subfamily of modern, ancient dogs and Borophaginae subfamily subfamily (like hyenas, canids). Subfamilies are ancient dogs canine subfamily a branch in the old, four million years ago, the origin and development in North America, they grow to like a fox and weasel hybrid product. About fifteen million years ago, a gradual extinction, which is the evolution of Tom's of today's Borophaginae subfamily and survive. The Borophaginae subfamily, it is three thousand four million years ago appears. And ancient dogs subfamily, they are only in North America. They are larger than the large number of ancient subfamily dogs, hyenas and dogs between the appearance of appearance between the mouth of a large and powerful is their features. 2.5 million years ago, this one is also extinct. The last of a jackal, the subfamily of modern dogs evolved into today is all canids. This one and the other two almost simultaneous appearance of prosperity but has not until fifteen million years ago, and the other two began to decline before starting to grow. This subfamily also exists only in North America until seven million years ago, that the late Miocene, only through the land bridge to Asia. Across the land bridge that is a canine who now direct ancestors, they continue to cross the land bridge, move back and forth between the two continents. This is why the red fox and gray wolves in Eurasia and North America are distributed reasons. Four hundred thousand years ago, the Dire Wolf DireWolf (Canisdirus) appeared, it's bigger than a large modern wolf, in a very long period of time, it and the wolf there in the world, until a million years before extinction. Its body structure is completely different and modern wolves, the body is strong, compact, relatively small and short limbs, more like a hyena. It is a great jaw tissue, making it capable of crushing bones. It is also the location of the food chain and hyenas similar, but more of a scavenger rather than the hunter. Their intelligence may be low, the LaBrea asphalt pit in California found that the fear of the wolf bones much more than other animals, a full 3600! In addition to fear of wolves, other lineages are also a few wolves began to develop during this period. Canisedwardsii the earliest evolution of the wolf in North America, appeared in the 150 to 1,800,000 years ago, eventually it evolved into a modern wolf Canislupus.
