The examples you give don't seem right to me though -- not wolves with badgers, and not humans with chimps certainly
What about
Archaeopteryx? Does it belong with the bird-kind or the dinosaur-kind? Certainly, it looks more like a
Velociraptor than a pigeon.
Or what about
Ichthyostega? Is it more of a rhipidistian fish-kind or an amphibian kind?
Then there's
Haptodus. Could it be an ophiacodont-kind? What about a sphenacodont-kind? Or maybe ophiacodonts and sphenacodonts are all the same kind?
Cynodictis: is it a dog, or is it a bear?
I know creation scientists don't have answers to these, and so I don't expect them to come up with any (talk about low expectations!). But evolutionary science does have answers. That's what makes it a science.
