Can someone please explain to me how a species that is said to existed for some 100 million years is ALSO ‘highly sensitive to climate change’.

If you've been here for 100 million years, you've seen the climate CHANGE baby. Ice age to global max to ice age and back!

Only slightly off topic...
Wanna know a weird fact about turtles?
They can breathe through their butts.

'Scuse me while I go give my turtle a breath mint.)

Thought everyone here would like to see the others. Hat-tip: Endangered Ugly Things

Sagalla caecilian (limbless amphibian with sensory tentacles on the sides of its head)


Purple frog (purple-pigmented frog that was only discovered in 2003 because it spends most of the year buried up to 4m underground)


Ghost frogs of South Africa (one species is found only in the traditional human burial grounds of Skeleton Gorge in Table Mountain, South Africa)


Olm (blind salamander with transparent skin that lives underground, hunts for its prey by smell and electrosensitivity and can survive without food for 10 years)


Lungless salamanders of Mexico (highly endangered salamanders that do not have lungs but instead breathe through their skin and mouth lining)


Malagasy rainbow frog (highly-decorated frog that inflates itself when under threat and can climb vertical rock surfaces)


Chile Darwin’s frog (a frog where fathers protect the young in their mouths, this species has not been officially seen since around 1980 and may now be extinct)


Betic midwife toad (toads that evolved from all others over 150million years ago – the males carry the fertilised eggs wrapped around their hind legs)

This proves that environmentalism is too dominated by women. Guys should have an environmental organization that takes care of ugly, slimey, deformed looking, odd, poisonous, dangerous, violent, and creepy stuff. If we don’t take care of these things, how will future generations of boys gross out of the future generations of girls?

Hmmm... they’re cool and interesting and it’s difficult to believe that they just “happened”. On the other hand I believe extinction is the rule, the climate always changes and global warming is a socialist scheme that may well do what lenin and osama couldn’t.
