Summary
DescriptionAn unlikely meeting in the Paratethys megalake.jpg |
English: Riabinini (Cetotherium riabinini), the smallest-known baleen whale species, lived in the megalake. Unlike its counterparts among the cetaceans, this unique creature had evolved an exceptional feeding strategy. In a striking departure from the typical dietary habits of whales, it appears that Riabinini is primarily fed by siphoning the lake's nutrient-rich mud.
Deinotherium (Deinotherium giganteum), an ancient elephant dwarfing its modern counterparts, flourished in the megalake's surrounding swamps and lowlands. Its distinctive downward-curving tusks were likely designed for excavating food. While Deinotherium possessed swimming abilities, it seldom ventured into extensive water bodies, making any encounter with the miniature whales a rare and purely coincidental event.
Português: A menor espécie de baleia de barbatanas conhecida, é Riabinini (Cetotherium riabinini), que vivia no mega-lago. Ao contrário dos seus homólogos entre os cetáceos, esta criatura única desenvolveu uma estratégia alimentar excepcional. Contrariando os hábitos alimentares típicos das baleias, parece que a Riabinini se alimentava principalmente das lamas ricas em nutrientes do lago.
Deinotherium (Deinotherium giganteum), uma espécie de elefante antigo muito maior do que os elefantes modernos, evoluiu nos pântanos e planícies em torno do mega-lago. Suas grandes presas curvadas para baixo provavelmente foram desenvolvidas para escavar alimentos. Embora o Deinotherium possuísse habilidades de natação, ele raramente se aventurava nas águas, tornando um possível encontro com as mini-baleias apenas mera coincidência.
Română: Riabinini (Cetotherium riabinini), cea mai mică specie cunoscută de balene cu fanoane, a trăit în mega-lac. Spre deosebire de omologii săi dintre cetacee, această creatură unică a dezvoltat o strategie de hrănire excepțională. Într-o abatere izbitoare de la obiceiurile alimentare tipice ale balenelor, se pare că Riabinini s-a hrănit în principal prin sifonarea nămolurilor bogate în nutrienți ale lacului.
Deinotherium (Deinotherium giganteum), un elefant străvechi care și-a depășit omologii săi moderni, a înflorit în mlaștinile și zonele joase din jurul mega-lacului. Colții săi distinctivi, curbați în jos, au fost probabil proiectați pentru excavarea alimentelor. În timp ce Deinotherium poseda abilități de înot, rar s-a aventurat în corpuri de apă extinse, făcând din orice întâlnire cu balenele în miniatură un eveniment rar.
Nederlands: Riabinini (Cetotherium riabinini), de kleinste bekende soort baleinwalvis, leefde in het megameer. In tegenstelling tot zijn tegenhangers onder de walvisachtigen had dit unieke dier een uitzonderlijke voedingsstrategie ontwikkeld. Het lijkt erop dat Riabinini zich voornamelijk voedde met organismen uit de voedselrijke modder van het meer.
Deinotherium (Deinotherium giganteum), een olifant die moderne olifanten zou overschaduwen, leefde in de omringende moerassen en laaglanden van het megameer. De kenmerkende naar beneden gebogen slagtanden waren waarschijnlijk bedoeld voor het uitgraven van voedsel. Hoewel Deinotherium kon zwemmen, waagde hij zich zelden in open water, waardoor een ontmoeting met de miniatuurwalvissen een zeldzame en toevallige gebeurtenis was. |
