We challenged people to say \u201cArchaeopotamus qeshta<\/em><\/a>\u201d from the first try. Turns out, saying the names of prehistoric creatures might be more difficult than discovering them.\u00a0 Archaeopotamus qeshta <\/em>is the hippopotamus which once lived in rivers in Abu Dhabi’s Al Dhafra region during the Late Miocene, between around 7 to 7.7 million years ago.<\/p>\n

SCIENCE TALK: DEEP TIME ABU DHABI<\/p>\n

Location: The Yas SeaWorld Research & Rescue Center<\/p>\n

My colleague, Dr Luca Bellucci, gave a great science talk at the Yas Seaworld Research and Rescue Center.\u00a0 He led the audience on a journey travelling through deep time to discover what Abu Dhabi was once like, guided by its fossils. He explored ancient seas inhabited by strange molluscs, as well as savannah landscapes once roamed by saber-toothed cats and four-tusked elephants.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
