NEXT UP: #2 seed RED WOLF versus #15 seed GIANT GOLDEN MOLE, co-written by @EvolEmpiricist @StoneLab_ASU & ME!! #2021MMM 
Giant Golden Moles are ~20 cm long & up to 539 grams (4x the size of other golden moles!). They vary in color, outer fur can be slate, dark brown, reddish or yellow-ish buff (Poduschka 1980) #2021MMM
Giant golden moles share some of the same bones as other animals but THEY HAVE 3 FOREARM BONES & WE HAVE 2! Skeletal similarities can be used to evaluate species relatedness & last common ancestor (Seiffert 2007) #2021MMM ck12.org/section/eviden…
