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.
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 . . .
Duckcow
Duck-to-Cow Transitionary
Species
Domesticated, yet skiddish.
Wasn't able to swim yet, but
some tried. Those that tried would turn over due to top-heaviness
and float downstream with their feet sticking up in the air.
The lucky ones drifted to the
river bank side allowing them to escape unharmed.
Notice the appendages on the
neck and face which resembles today's animal collars - freaky!
Fishdog
Fish-to-Dog Transitionary
Species
Not to be confused with today's
Dog Fish.
Known to pester upside down duckcows
floating downstream.
Also known as a fisherman's best
friend, they would heard other fish into the waiting fishing
nets belonging to those primates that would later evolve into
man.
Would also fetch a stick out
of water.
Cowrilla
Cow-to-Gorilla Transitionary
Species
Definitely not domesticated and
definitely not skiddish!
This ferocious creature ruled
the lowlands. In a fit of rage, it could reach speeds of up to
two miles an hour.
They congregated in small family
clans of 10 to 15 members.
Mostly ate grass and vegetation,
but if it came across some bananas, it could make it's own milkshake.
Milking one of these dudes was
NOT an option.
