          This sounds like a CK2 event for the satanic secret society.

          “On their journeys some of your brothers and sisters under Satan stumbled upon a goat with strange forward facing eyes. As the blade pierced the animals heart it is consumed by a sulphurous fire.”

          “Why did I hear screaming?”

          “A few minutes into cleaning the ritual room a vibrant rainbow of fires and smells burst forth upon the ritual dias taking several of your brothers. As the fire clears you see the goat has returned with small yellow squares of paper attached via adhesive to the goat. They are all signed by different gods and demons.”

          “This raises many questions.” (+3 diplomacy)

    It was also a cold-blooded mammal.

      No, it wasn’t. Or to be exact, we don’t know, but it’s highly unlikely. In 2009, the bone growth pattern of Myotragus was thought to occur only in cold blooded animals, but in 2012 they found it is widespread in extant mammals as well.

      TIL there was a 5M year old cold-blooded mammal that humans killed off (but ofc).

      Today I was reminded that science grows as new discoveries are made.

      But we still killed the little beasties off. Nothing has changed there.
