250 million years from now, the next supercontinent, Pangea Ultima, may cause the mass extinction of all mammals on Earth! In this video, we cover how this supercontinent might form, how it might wipe out mammals, and what some other possibilities are based on the current movement of tectonic plates. Hope you enjoy! ;D
