Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.Just as the report says: “I think everyone kind of shakes their heads at primates rafting long or even moderate distances,” Miller says, but such events have happened at other times and are still going on today. Animals such as tenrecs and lemurs arrived on Madagascar by rafting from mainland Africa across a distance of more than 260 miles, for example, and small lizards island-hop in the Bahamas on natural rafts." So the key idea is it was not intentional but accidental. I would imagine if this is a common phenomenon many could have perished and the ones that did survive left a legacy.
