This cat's in front of the Texas Memorial Museum. We went to the opening of an excellent exhibit on evolution. Over wine and cheese, a vertebrate paleontologist was telling a climatologist that they'd been finding cold-weather species and warm-weather species right in the same layer in a recent dig. Climatologist replied that one species in retreat and one in advance could happen, did happen in the past, in periods of rapid climate change. I've lived with a climatologist for some 18 years now. Recent news on melting in the Arctic is freaking me out. See also this strange image of ice boulders in Greenland.
