  The image looks like our distant ancestor there is crawling in from another dimension, the way the water still encloses its body so high up… or at least like it portaled over from a deep ocean part of the ocean floor.

    and one eye looks like its on top of the head.

      Maybe the artist just screwed it up, but there’s a snake species that really does have eyes positioned like that, on top of its head. Arabian sand boa:

    Also true of ~75% of plant and animal species that didn’t survive the Chicxulub impact about 66 million years ago. I mean, if you can’t survive an extinction-level event, tf are you even good for?

    Museums Victoria acknowledges the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung and Boon Wurrung Bunurong peoples of the eastern Kulin Nations where we work, and First Peoples across Victoria and Australia. No, we aren’t giving your land back. But we did want to remind you that we stole it. You’re welcome.

  If he doesn't do "I'm a half tetrapod half fish. Of course I...." snippets with half-hearted throwaway jokes he can go extinct for all I care!

  Does all land vertebrates come from the same ancestor? I found surprising that only one species were trying to colonize the land.

  source

  • BoxedFenders@hexbear.net ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    All tetrapods share a common ancestor but the land was already teeming with invertebrate life at the time. Take a look at this handy guide to see our lineage. :)

    I think this was specific to tetrapods, though I don’t know if there are any land vertebrates that aren’t descendants of tetrapods.

  Not gonna lie it feels a bit strange that my great great great grandpa was a fish.

  • jettrscga@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    5 generations to fish. It seems your family reproduces once every 75 million years on average.

    That feels higher than usual for humans/fish.
