  • thats an inverterbrate

  • It's incredibly bizarre today to think that everyone watching this, if they traced their parentage back through hundreds of millions of years we would all be the direct descendants of a creature very much like that who took a chance, perhaps a very desperate chance, to see what things were like beyond the upper firmament of the only world it had ever known. It approached the shallower shores of the waters, perhaps paused for a second, then said, "Now or never", and jumped.

  • It could be they weren't first as this video tells us, maybe they shared the first place with the arthropods. Correct me if I'm wrong.

  • whoa wait. I thought tiktaalik had not yet developed limbs that could support it's weight outside of water.

  • why th f is this gone i neeed this!!!...

  • It reminds me of crocodiles

  • @Inverness01 lol this shit was just disproved xD

  • @poochyboy666 lol, this shit was just disproved XD

  • @fellowservant34 "Tiktaalik is a evolutionary dead end." What, how so. It's you creationists who make things up clearly based on your lack of understanding ofthis subject, go back and read my comments again. How can the creature be a dead end when Icthyostega and acanthyostega come after it. You still havent answered what made those footprints if it wasnt te earlier forms of tetrapods tha the fossils dated so far. I'm not interested in god of the gaps so make a valid point will you.

  • @01101100d Oh,you mean a tiktaalik fossil that predates the Eifelian stage of the Devonian system by tens of millions of years..but the only thing that would prove is stasis..Don't you get it? Tiktaalik is a evolutionary dead-end The only possibility would be for the rocks to be assigned to a different stage on the stratigraphic chart which would be a huge job I doubt they would be willing to do. But evolutionist's have been known to make the evidence fit the theory so I'd put nothing past them
