Whale transitional?
Oh, I always thought it was a whale , I was just waiting for someone to use it as proof that whales adapted from terrestrial mammals because it has intermediate features such as front legs and external ears
(the little statue that is, I never got to see the first pic - did anyone else get to see it?)

Re: Whale transitional?
Try clicking here for the first image. It should still work.
...I thought it was a croc too.

Crock transitional?
Yes I got it - just some over vigorous IP blocker on my PC.
Without the front legs it looks less like the transitional whale, but it still has ears. Mind you I don't know what ancestor to crocks might have had ears.

that would be interesting, since "transitional" whales like basilosaurus lived long before man. i was half tempted to use a picture that actually looked exactly like basilosaurus, but i figured someone would argue just this point.
mostly, i was just trying to demonstrate that artistic depictions of fantastical creatures, even the ones that do exist contemporary to the artist, are not always the most accurate things in the world. sometimes, people just make stuff up.
and you're bound to get some coincidences with reality. personally, i think the first pic looks a lot like a kronosaur.

Re: Crock transitional?
look at old maps and charts

You will see lots of things that are half fanciful. Some whales are shown with ears, some with gills???

More proof
So these maps and charts proove that humans existed not only along with dinos, but with forms that were transitional between whales and fish as well. Surely this disproves evolution.

Re: Where's my penny?
i hold out hope for mokele mbembe. personally, i want to run a different experiment on the natives. we know from paleontology how a sauropod stood, and walked, and held its head and tail. i want to show them the two pictures -- the old classic brontosaur dragging its tail and living in water, and the newer more accurate plain-based sauropod with it's tail in the air.
if they choose the outdated one, it's probable that they're just making it up. which would be a shame really, but it would make a lot more sense -- the jungle is no place for a sauropod.
Been done. They choose the "old school" image every time. Makes sense, seeing as how sauropods detested large bodies of water, as they could not swim at all.
