Connected Continents

It's barely fathomable that all the land on Earth was once connected. Roughly 250 million years ago, the land masses we recognize as today's continents broke away from what is now the Antarctic and rode atop tectonic plates across the southern hemisphere. Clues to these ancient connections between the southern continents are hidden throughout the animal kingdom today.

Die Tier- und Pflanzenwelt auf den Kontinenten der südlichen Hemisphäre weist eine gemeinsame Vergangenheit auf, denn sie alle waren einmal Teil des südlichen Superkontinents Gondwana - was noch heute zu erkennen ist.
