From Aurora:
It is an endangered species that has lived in the Ethiopian highlands for more than 1,5 million years.
A work directed by Martínez-Navarro, a researcher at the Catalan Institute of Human Paleontology and Social Evolution (IPHES) and published in the journal “Communications Biology”, has shown that the fossil, found at the Melka Wakena site (Ethiopia) is more than 1,5 million years ago and the presence of this endemic species of canid goes back in time.
