Gondwana ecology
Gondwana was a vast ancient supercontinent that existed millions of years ago, comprising present-day continents like Africa, South America, Australia, and Antarctica. Its ecology was diverse, featuring lush forests, deserts, and varied climates. During the time of Gondwana, species evolved in isolation due to the continent's separation from others, leading to unique flora and fauna, such as the ancestors of modern marsupials. The climate ranged from tropical to polar, fostering rich ecosystems, and the breakup of Gondwana played a significant role in shaping today’s biodiversity, influencing how species and habitats developed across the globe.
