Found strange ancient parrot fossils 18 million years old

The more than ten million-year-old ancient parrot fossil is the latest archaeological site discovered by a Russian archaeologist.

Accordingly, the incident was discovered when digging soil on Lake Baikal Island, Tagay Bay in Siberia.

This new discovery finds the skeleton of an ancient animal estimated at 16 to 18 million years old. This skeleton is placed in a box, containing many ankle joint bones with the toes and when conducting a carbon isotope analysis of these skeletons, it is exactly an Asian parrot . And this parrot's bones have many similarities to our modern day bones.

Previously, modern parrots live mainly in tropical or subtropical areas. However, it is surprising to see this parrot live on Lake Baikal Island, Tagay Bay in Siberia, which is thought to be extremely cold in the tens of millions of years ago.

However, Zelenkov notes that the problem is also absolutely not absolute because at present, there are some parrot species living in extremely cold areas like in the Himalayas.

The discovery of ancient parrot fossils in Siberia will continue to provide more important new evidence, explaining how Asian parrots can migrate to North America. It is now believed that this ancient Asian parrot could migrate through Berengia land linking North America and Asia. However, it is now possible that this bird will migrate across the Bering Strait before coming to North America.
