Noticed it was “reference only”
Lol.. no.. crocs were like crocs for almost 3 ELEs
there was a reprint of that book not long ago I believe
Whales started out with a similar body plan and hunting style
Should see if I can get a copy, my youngest will love it
but gradually became fully aquatic
Early whales? Hippos/otter types afaicr
yeah
the weird thing is they evolved from these weird shrew things
tiny
evolution is weird
You pays your money and takes your chances
And the deck is rigged
one evolutionary history I'm really curious to learn about is Bats
it seems to be not that well known yet
Oh, I can help there
who do you get from climbing, to gliding to flying
Lots of small mammals used glide assist in trees
it's such a weird adaptation to have develop
Monkeys, lemurs, rodents, plenty
which would mean divergent evolution but it seems that theory has no wings...heh
To get to the flapping bit is a stretch, but if you are a high-r species then... wtf... might work
to go from gliding which is pretty common in mammals but to flying, its believed they're nocturnal to not compete with birds
makes me wonder why only bats of all mammals fly
I need to figure out how early they diverged. Fossils not great
Lol... I’m a flying mammal!
apparently bats go pretty far back
Got a cool vid yesterday of a guy doing skydiving without a parachute
Fuck airsuits, just a net
yeah I've seen those, crazy motherfuckers
I have a para A license... I would not attempt that
Aydin is always worth a listen. Reminds me of a girlfriend I had 30 years back
her reaction is pretty close to what mine's been
maybe new information will come forward and it'll make at least some sense
I’ll give it a go shortly. But generally, the creation of destructive chaos is not my thing
this one event is going have some massive implications around the world
Pfft. Only if people are dumb
Wait
there's no way it doesn't
