minus-squarewyldrstallyns@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·2 months agoI believe the pterodactyl, like most (all?) dinos descended from aquatic life forms. Dunno, though.
minus-squarephdepressed@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·2 months agoYeah, all life from the ocean but its a bit more of a stretch to say pterodactyl are fishes.
minus-squarewyldrstallyns@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·2 months agoNo argument there 🤣
minus-squareLemmywinks@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·2 months agoAny scientific definition of ‘fish’ which includes all the things we commonly consider to be fish also includes basically all animal life on earth (including humans and, presumably, pterodactyls). Edit: Though generally this is avoided by declaring that ‘fish’ is not an evolutionary category.
