Tropical Turtle Fossil
Scientists have discovered the most exciting thing in the strangest place. March sixth, (about four days ago) a group of scientist uncovered, a tropical Asian turtle. The weird thing is it is in the wrong place. They actually found it in the Canadian Arctic! The fossil leads scientists to think, that the turtles migrated there to absorb its warm weather. Now the Canadian Arctic used to be very hot and tropical before the Ice Age that is why they lived there.
Previously, scientists thought turtles made the trek at lower altitudes. "It is generally thought that a land bridge through Alaska helped bring Asian fauna across into North America, but that doesn't really explain how you get turtles on the East Coast.
