  1. The dingo is probably the reason why the marsupial Thylacine or Tasmanian Tiger went extinct on the mainland of Australia (due to similar niche competition), but remained on Tasmania where the dingo was not introduced by humans. Dingos are less native to Australia fauna than Homonini (humans). Humans have been in Australia 50,000+ years, while the dingo about 5000 years.

  2. The theory of beaks are interesting (did other clades of dinosaurs have beaks? Yes, some did). And a beaked mammal called a platypus. Also feathers. All birds have feathers, but so did many Cretaceous dinosaurs that were not birds. Another fun fact with the Tertiary. At the K-Pg extinction, all surviving Pterosaurs went extinct, and with it, Sauropsid flight using webbing or skin membrane wings (bats use this now). Birds wings use flight feathers.

  3. This is very good, except you forgot to explain what Sahul is. I know what it is but relatively few people do.
