The latest discovery, he said, helps show a clear connection between the two areas during the Paleocene period.

他说，最新的发现有助于显示这两个地区在古新世时期的明显联系。

Sometime during the late Paleocene, Titanoboa  disappeared from the lowland tropics of northern Colombia.

在古新世晚期的某个时候，泰坦巨蟒从哥伦比亚北部的低地热带地区消失了。

So, by the middle of the Paleocene Epoch, animal life was on the rebound.

因此，到了古新世中期， 动物生命开始反弹。

But it would've looked smol next to some of its Paleocene relatives from New Zealand.

但如果与来自新西兰的一些古新世近亲相比，它会显得微不足道。

The Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum, 55 million years ago, was so warm, crocodiles swam the waters of the Arctic Circle.

5500 万年前的古新世-始新世极热期非常温暖，以至于鳄鱼在北极圈的水域中游来游去。

From there, they made it to Antarctica by the late Paleocene, between 59 million and 56 million years ago.

从那里，他们在 5900 万到 5600 万年前的古新世晚期到达了南极洲。

These animals flourished in the superheated  jungles of the mid to late Paleocene, but none more than the colossal serpent, Titanoboa.

这些动物在古新世中后期的过热丛林中繁衍生息，但其中最重要的莫过于巨蛇泰坦巨蟒。

And it couldn't fly, but it used those short wings to propel itself into the coastal waters of the Paleocene Epoch.

而且它不会飞，但是它用那短小的翅膀将自己推进到古新世的近海海域。

So I found this down by the Bow River here in Calgary, and this is part of some kind of sycamore plant from the Paleocene.

我在卡尔加里的弓河边发现了这个，这是古新世某种梧桐植物的一部分。

From there, true penguins probably evolved in what's now New Zealand in the early Paleocene Epoch, around 61 million years ago, with Waimanu and its relatives.

从那里开始，真正的企鹅可能在大约 6100 万年前的古新世早期与怀马努及其亲戚一起在现在的新西兰进化。
