Amazing Transitional Animals
Darwin said that we should find
millions
of transitional fossils to
support the theory of evolution.
And though we
haven't come across any yet, we know it is just a matter
of time before we do. Because given enough time, anything can
happen (i.e., something from nothing, order
from chaos via random chance, evolution, etc. and etc.).
So we have taken the liberty
of "reconstructing" what these transitional
animals were probably like.
We snookered a bunch of students
from the local art school to help us out pro-bono. Now it should
be cautioned that these aspiring artists may have pushed their
creative license in order to beef up their portfolio and make
a name for themselves.
Then we hood-winked a bunch of
natural science students from the local junior college to give
us a brief synopsis of how these animals probably lived. And
they probably took some creative licenses too.
Enjoy the tour . . .
Lobste-pig
Lobster-to-Guinea
Pig Transitionary Species
An amphibious mammal like the
duckbill platypus.
Females would lay just one egg,
but then the egg would subdivide forming a cluster from 10 to
25.
The foreclaws were useful for
defense as well as picking stuff out of its velcro-like face.
It seems nature, for some strange
reason, singled out this species for trial and error in the evolutionary
process resulting in many forms that didn't quite make it.
Deerk
Duck-to-Deer Transitionary
Species
One of the best examples of animals
evolving from birds.
Was about the size of your average
North American deer, but waddled gracefully.
However flying was awkward, especially
around trees.
Very cautious during both duck
and deer season.
Smaller birds would perch on
their antlers and eat the microbes thus keeping them clean.
Cabbit
Cat-to-Rabbit Transitionary
Species
Don't let the cute & cuddly
looks fool you. This guy is labeled "the great-white shark"
of the fields and plains.
Known as the perfect killing
machine, cabbits spent their days hunting down prey, such as
buffoucan and cowrillas, then devouring them within minutes.
Very playful.
