Frog - Evolved Virtual Creature

Two of this creature's ancestors were shown in previous videos. This is the final best creature from the last (500th) generation. It has changed little since the earlier videos. It was evolved for traversing a sloping bumpy terrain, but is shown on a flat plane instead.

This creature was evolved on Chris Hebbern's PC.

So this is possibly what virtual evolution could promise. All I've seen are videos with early stage creatures that look stupid and flop around. But this, with heavily evolved creatures with many generations looks great.

@nlicky Thanks :)

Many of my creatures do look fairly feeble, but now and then some elegant ones arise, like this one.

I bet Richard Dawkins would've found this fascinating.
