Laurasiatheria Laurasiatheria Laurasiatheria is a clade of placental mammals that originated on the northern supercontinent of Laurasia 99 million years ago. The clade includes shrews, pangolins, bats, whales, carnivorans, odd-toed and even-toed ungulates, among others. Laurasiatheria was discovered on the basis of the similar gene sequences shared by the mammals belonging to it; no anatomical features have yet been found that unite the group. The Laurasiatheria clade is based on DNA sequence analyses and retrotransposon presence/absence data. The name comes from the theory that these mammals evolved on the supercontinent of Laurasia, after it split from Gondwana when Pangaea broke up.
Gondwana Link this further supports the intentions of the Gondwana Link vision. The Gondwana Link project began in 2002 as an informal coalition with the purchase of Chereninup Creek Reserve and other activities. It was not until 2012 that an incorporated body was formed with the establishment of Gondwana Link Inc. Operational areas are made up of eight major zones. In the Fitz-Stirling section of 'the Link' Greening Australia, Bush Heritage Australia, Fitzgerald Biosphere Group, Carbon Neutral and other private landholders and individuals are working together to reconnect the Stirling Range and Fitzgerald River National Parks, currently separated by only 70 km
