So, by the middle of the Paleocene Epoch, animal life was on the rebound.

因此，到了古新世中期， 动物生命开始反弹。

The Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum, 55 million years ago, was so warm, crocodiles swam the waters of the Arctic Circle.

5500 万年前的古新世-始新世极热期非常温暖，以至于鳄鱼在北极圈的水域中游来游去。

And it couldn't fly, but it used those short wings to propel itself into the coastal waters of the Paleocene Epoch.

而且它不会飞，但是它用那短小的翅膀将自己推进到古新世的近海海域。

Planocraniidae first showed up in the Paleocene Epoch about 61 million years ago, starting with a species from China known as Planocrania hengdongensis .

So I found this down by the Bow River here in Calgary, and this is part of some kind of sycamore plant from the Paleocene.

The world's biggest snake thrived for a couple million years in the Paleocene Epoch, its giant lifestyle made possible by the extreme climate at the time.

世界上最大的蛇在古新世时期繁衍生息了几百万年，当时的极端气候使其成为可能。

Titanoboa lived just a few million years before global temperatures spiked even higher, in an event known as the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum, which we've talked about before.

泰坦巨蟒在全球温度飙升至更高温度之前仅存在了几百万年，这一事件被称为古新世-始新世极热事件，我们之前已经讨论过。

During the Late Paleocene and early Eocene, the global average temperature rapidly increased  by about 5 degrees Celsius, an event known as the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum or PETM.

在古新世晚期和始新世早期，全球平均气温迅速上升约 5 摄氏度，这一事件被称为古新世-始新世极热期 (PETM)。

Back at the start of the Eocene Epoch, the world was in the clutches of the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum, and warm, damp forests covered the land from pole to pole.

早在始新世初期，世界就处于古新世-始新世极热期的控制之下，温暖潮湿的森林覆盖了南北两极的土地。

The Paleocene Eocene Thermal Maximum is one of the most radical climate events ever unearthed, and the mass extinction that followed it was triggered — at least in part — by an injection of greenhouse gases into the air.

古新世-始新世极热事件是众多未被发掘的极端天气事件之一，后面发生大规模灭绝的原因至少有部分是因为温室气体排放进了大气。

During the Paleocene Epoch, which began about 66  million years ago, the king of the primeval world was not Tyrannosaurus Rex or Spinosaurus but a  colossal snake lurking in the warmest, wettest corners of South America.

在大约 6600 万年前的古新世，原始世界的王者不是霸王龙或棘龙，而是潜伏在南美洲最温暖、最潮湿的角落的一条巨蛇。
