But consider this: The fossil evidence found of this ancient South American monkey species dates back 21 million years, well before the isthmus of Panama connected North America to South America.

Hence a federal judges ruling this week ordering the Fish and Wildlife Service to reconsider its 2014 decision against listing the wolverine under the Endangered Species Act because the creature is under attack by global warming.
