    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.

        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

      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?

      5 generations to fish. It seems your family reproduces once every 75 million years on average.

      That feels higher than usual for humans/fish.

    Does all land vertebrates come from the same ancestor? I found surprising that only one species were trying to colonize the land.

      I think this was specific to tetrapods, though I don’t know if there are any land vertebrates that aren’t descendants of tetrapods.
