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 . . .


Liewen
Lion-to-Sheep Transitionary Species

 

Makes since, since today's sheep have no defense mechanisms and are slower than dirt.

This is the only way they could have survived millions of years of struggle with other predators.

They were all independent and would only follow themselves. All attempts at domestication failed miserably.

They were also known to be cannibalistic in lean times when food was scarce.


Girralephant
Giraffe-to-Elephant Transitionary Species

 

As giraffes they were the pride of the plains, but eventually got lazy and fat.

Sometimes were mistakenly identified as pentapeds which eventually formed into mythical legends, just like unicorns.

These legends have since died out and we have no evidence of them, but we believe in them anyway because they are neat.

A close cousin to the Birdaffe as seen in issue two, but these were much much taller.

 


Buffoucan
Toucan-to-Buffalo Transitionary Species

 

Migrated in herds from the tropical rainforests of South America to the plains of North America every year.

Unfortunately one year they were caught by a strange group of primates (who would eventually evolve into the North American Indians) and domesticated against their will.

Having their wings clipped so as not to fly away, they eventually became flightless buffoucan. And in time their wings and other fowl features disappeared all together.

And strangely enough, their South American cousins lost all of their buffalo characteristics.

Isn't it incredible and unbelievable how this stuff works?!
