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
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.
