Hate that fucker! Because of him i have to go to work every day!
If they invent the backwards time machine I’m gonna go kick this fucker back in the ocean. I could be eating thousands of brine shrimp right now.

Counterpoint: If it weren’t for this mf, we’d all be working underwater!
that sounds dope as FUCK
Yeah dolphins seem pretty happy. Though idk the ocean is scary
This a no bone zone.
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:
That snake looks dumb as hell. Evolution really fucked with them. It looks like a puppet made by a child when you just describe a snake and they’ve never seen one.
:(
Unless that snake is endangered it is doing just fine and is adapted over millennia to be built that way and thus live it’s best life
Yup, it’s so it can hide under the sand and still see prey.
On behalf of the snake: no u
I do not know about you guys, but you know, this issue keeps me awake at nights.
So that’s the asshole that started it all.
I have a little gift for him:
spoiler
so many people are saying this
Honestly a bone head move, great job tikatalik you putz
Hot take, it wasn’t well adapted and that’s why it’s not around anymore. Trash animal
Yo homie that’s my great-great-great-…-great-grandpa that you’re talking about
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?
Sounds like kids these days need to watch more LindsayNikole videos.
Alternatively, Gutsick Gibbon or Forest Valkai
Reject tikataalik who left the water to walk alone on land, accept tiddalik who sucked up the water so all had to walk
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!
FUCK YOU TILTAALIK
Hey man thats just rude :(
Does all land vertebrates come from the same ancestor? I found surprising that only one species were trying to colonize the land.
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.
5 generations to fish. It seems your family reproduces once every 75 million years on average.
That feels higher than usual for humans/fish.
We eat a lot of yogurt.
Just forwarded it to my sons, spread the awareness!
