Gavial

Gavialis gangeticus, from the Indian subcontinent, is the only living gharial species related to the Puerto Rican gharial

28 million years ago "pepinianos", as the residents from he Puerto Rican town of San Sebastián are known, could frolic in the shores of their hometown. This is because 28 million years ago the now landlocked town of San Sebastián was a seashore town. Pepinianos looked very different then, though. There were no plazas, or traffic jams, or town fairs... as a matter of fact, 28 million years ago there were no humans, not in Puerto Rico, not anywhere else.

What San Sebasti·n did have were gharial: very large crocodiles basking in its shores.

Amigos, escribí esta opinión que me publicaron en EL Nuevo Día de hoy. No es noticia científica pero es un tema importante, asi que lo pongo en foros. Sé que no todos estarán de acuerdo conmigo, y lo pongo en son de diálogo diálectico porque creo que es un tema importante de conversar. Obviamente no representa la postura de la página, de la organización, ni de los voluntarios ni miembros. Es sólo mi opinión personal. Saludos a todos ¿Contra natura?
