#Paleogene

The Paleogene featured some of the highest global temperatures of all time, leading to tropical climates all over the planet, including at this lake in what will one day be Messel, Germany. Darwinius, a close cousin to our own ancestors, is having a staredown with the lizard Geiseltaliellus.

(12/14)

On a lovely evening 47 million years ago, #Darwinius and #Geiseltaliellus are forced to share their favourite lakeside tree. They don't enjoy each other's company,but are unlikely to do anything about it. Meanwhile,a pair of #Gastornis enjoys the evening Sun while a #Eurohippus takes a drink,safe in the knowledge that these giant birds are herbivores. #Archaeonycteris hunt insects above the lake,while various crocodylians hang out and get ready for the night.
