    So, with more evolution, will it lose those legs or will it gain front legs?

      Evolve into fins, then gills, then come back to the ocean

        Probably not the gills. Once you go lungs you never go back, looking at all those mammals in the ocean.

    All lizards want to be a snake. But only a select few are chosen for greatness.

      Considered snakes evolved from ancestor of lizards. And are related to lizards, squamates
