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
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?
Honestly a bone head move, great job tikatalik you putz
FUCK YOU TILTAALIK
Hey man thats just rude :(
He deserves it! I have to work 10 hours a day minimum wage because he went into land >:(
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!
Sounds like kids these days need to watch more LindsayNikole videos.

I do not know about you guys, but you know, this issue keeps me awake at nights.
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.
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.

There’s a great metal album about it, Charlie Griffiths - Tiktaalika
Just forwarded it to my sons, spread the awareness!
