That is because continents began crashing in to each other this was also how mountains were created. India continued its slow collision with Asia. when India crashed into Asia the Himalaya Mountains was born, that continues today. South America moved North (South America was part of Africa) and merged with North America, forming the Isthums of Panama. the sea levels continued to decrease and giving  rise to land bridges that connected continents.

Italy pushed into Europe, giving rise to the alps. Spain pushed France and the Pyrenees mountains rose.
 Stretching and lifting created the parts of the rocky, Sierra Nevada, and Cascade mountains in North 
America. the high mountains altered the air circulation and weather patterns contributing to a drier and cooler climate.

Plant eating animals started to stick togehter in herds. This meant that predators had to evolve to catch their pray on open fields. Asian and African apes diverged and after several million years later, Hominins split from the Chimpanzees. Addapted two foot walking, stopped to climb in trees and started to carry food and tools in their hands.

Large animals like Mammoths  died out because  their size made it easier for small predators to immobilize these animals.

There was small events like the Messinian Salinity Crisis that were a time when the Mediterranean Sea decreased to very small levels.  The water that was left had a very high salt concentration which meant that many animals died drinking it and other animals migrated to other places like Africa and Europe. 

At the end of the Neogene period an ice age began which undoubtedly led to the extinction of many species]]> 2019-01-21 11:56:56 UTC https://padlet.com/axel_gadestedt_student_halmstad/hxgzw7fl8lfx/wish/322653382 axel_gadestedt_student_halmstad https://padlet.com/axel_gadestedt_student_halmstad/hxgzw7fl8lfx/wish/322656805 The apex predators in the sea was the megaladon 15 meters long.

This foosil shows that sharks under this period were very big compared to sharks today. It makes sense for this sharks to have gone extinct because the Megaladon were not as adaptable to nature due to it´s size. The Megaladons size was it's weakness because smaller fish's could attack it and over time therfore weaken it. It also had to use a lot of energy to move it´s  large body.

Animals today like ows have a bigger digestive system to digest grass, and that is a consequence of the Neogene period. ]]> 2019-01-28 07:42:32 UTC https://padlet.com/axel_gadestedt_student_halmstad/hxgzw7fl8lfx/wish/324804788 axel_gadestedt_student_halmstad https://padlet.com/axel_gadestedt_student_halmstad/hxgzw7fl8lfx/wish/324806484 National Geographic is trustworthy because they are dedicated from nature to history and have explorers, journalists, filmmakers. the National Geographic is a scientific channel. National geographic is a mainstream publication.]]> 2019-01-28 07:50:13 UTC https://padlet.com/axel_gadestedt_student_halmstad/hxgzw7fl8lfx/wish/324806484 axel_gadestedt_student_halmstad https://padlet.com/axel_gadestedt_student_halmstad/hxgzw7fl8lfx/wish/324809502 The person who wrote this article Kim Ann Zimmermann, the article was last updated june 8 2016.
