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 (which scientists are probably above doing, right?).

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 (which scientists are also probably above doing, right?).

Enjoy the tour . . .


 

In the last two additions we concentrated on the transitional animals which appeared late in history. In this issue we look at the earliest ones that appeared across the fruited plains.

 

 

 

Carpemelon
Water Melon-to-Carp Transitionary Species

 

These guys actually had a season in which they were hunted down and eaten by other animals - summer. They were safe in the colder months.

They were usually eaten as a dessert after the main coarse. Southern animals preferred them with salt.

Strangely enough some of the males were born sterile. Those individuals were known as seedless Carpemelon.


Toucanafly
Banana-to-Butterfly-to-Toucan Transitionary Species

 

A rather unique one, the Toucanafly was a transitional of three different animals. Was also an earlier distant ancestor of the Buffoucan.

Average size was about six to eight inches in length not counting the beak. Speaking of the beak, these creatures were highly cannibalistic.

In fact, they were their own main diet for millions of years. It's a wonder they survived and evolved.

Discarded Toucanafly hides on the jungle floor reeked havoc with other animals running through the area causing massive herd pile ups.

 


Pinehedgeapplehog
Pineapple-to-Hedge Hog Transitionary Species

 

A tough critter, the Pinehedgeapplehog thrived until early man evolved and wiped them out because they were oh so tasty.

In fact, cavemen would make a putrid party drink and place slices of the critter in it for added flavor and decoration.

One thing that made them so tough was that the young grew on trees, and when ripe they fell crashing onto the ground below.

At this stage, they couldn't roll up into a ball because their back was so stiff. Their only defense was to lay flat so as not to be turned over exposing the weak underbelly.

Greco Roman wrestlers still use the move to this very day.

 


Faith is the substance of fossils hoped for,
the evidence of links unseen.
