Ten Exceptional Ancient Elephants, From Small Swimming Creatures to Shovel-Tusked Beasts
Not so long ago, the trumpeting of elephants could be heard across a great deal of our planet. Wrinkly-skinned giants did not only inhabit Africa and southern Asia, but roamed from prehistoric Portugal across Eurasia, to the chilly landscapes of ancient Alaska and down into South America. And that was just during the Ice Age from about 11,700 to 2 million years ago, when mammoths, mastodons and several other forms of elephant were common parts of ecosystems all across the planet. Go back further and the fossil elephants are even stranger.

The Beauty of Being Average
"...Letโs change the narrative. What if an โaverageโ life means a job that pays the bills, relationships that matter, and a home filled with laughter and dishesโnot something to escape but something to honor?
"Thereโs dignity in showing up daily, even when no one applauds. Thereโs significance in being a reliable friend, a compassionate stranger, and a steady coworker. These roles seldom go viral, but they weave the fabric of society together in ways that fame and fortune seldom can."
Why you donโt need to stand out to live a meaningful life.
In a world that idolizes success and visibility, choosing to live an ordinary life can be a radical act of self-acceptance and quiet power.Sam Goldstein Ph.D. (Psychology Today)

#Deextinction is a scam on so many levels I don't even know where to begin. It will *not* help us save endangered species. Instead, we should spend our money on preserving their habitats *before* they go extinct.
