9 Million-Year-Old Capybara Tooth Found in Atacama Desert Challenges Climate History

A 9 million-year-old capybara tooth was discovered in the Atacama Desert, an area now known as one of the driest places on Earth. This finding supports the idea that the Atacama was not always a desert and likely had wetter conditions in the past, suitable for water-loving rodents like capybaras.
