1. Title: "Myotragus balearicus: The Extinct Balearic Antelope of Majorca and Minorca" 2.. This skeleton belongs to Myotragus balearicus, an extinct small antelope that once roamed the Balearic Islands of Majorca and Minorca, located in the western Mediterranean Sea. Dating back approximately 5000 years ago, this intriguing creature is a testament to the rich prehistorical heritage of Spain's Catalonia region. Myotragus balearicus, also known as the Balearic mouse goat or the Balearic caprine, was a unique ungulate that thrived during the Pleistocene and early Holocene epochs. This small antelope, measuring around 70 cm in height, was adapted to its insular environment, with a robust build and a short, curved horn. The Myotragus balearicus primarily fed on bark and lichens, making it an essential component of the Balearic Islands' ecosystem. Its skeleton, now preserved in the Museum of Paleontology in Sabadell, Barcelona province, offers valuable insights into the life and evolution of this fascinating prehistoric creature. The extinction of Myotragus balearicus remains a subject of ongoing research and debate among scientists. Some theories suggest that human activity, climate change, or a combination of both factors may have contributed to its demise. Regardless of the cause, the loss of this unique antelope represents a significant chapter in the history of the Balearic Islands and the broader prehistorical record of Spain. This detailed skeleton, with its intricate bone structure, offers a glimpse into the past, inviting us to appreciate the rich biodiversity that once inhabited these islands and the importance of preserving and studying our prehistorical heritage.
