TIL about the Falkland Islands wolf. It was the only native land mammal living on the islands, and it is not quite clear how it was able to get there from the mainland, 480 km away. It was hunted to extinction by sheep farmers in the 19th century.

I mean we now have an idea that the sea level rose so at one point that island was a mountain. Same with the British Islands, and Australia.
