How fearsome was the elephant’s ancestor?
The elephant's ancestor is Moeritherium, the source of all proboscideans. Unlike modern elephants, it was not tall, looked like a pig or hippo, and acted like a hippo; its trunk was shorter but stouter. From it, three lines evolved: the deinotheres, short-jawed and long-jawed mastodons, the last of which became the modern elephant.

Korat
The Korat cat, also called the Korat or Si-Sawat, originates from the Khorat Plateau in northwest Thailand and is an ancient breed. Introduced to the US in 1959 and recognized by American cat lovers in 1965, and by Britain 10 years later. Its coat, like the Russian Blue and Chartreux, is solid blue with no shading or pattern, with a silvery sheen, and it has a unique heart-shaped face.

If a cat did not lose fur or stop eating before a bath but after the bath goes bald under the ears and won't eat, possible causes: 1. stress from a scary bath causing anorexia; 2. the ear area has a scent gland and normally sparser fur, and washing off excess oil and loose fur makes it look bolder—usually no heavy treatment, just clean and add nutrition; 3. environment change or stress causing anorexia. Watch closely; if it persists or shows vomiting, diarrhea, or no eating, see a vet.
