Post pictures of animals that visually prove that evolution is at play.

I submit THE PLATYPUS.



THE PLATYPUS. Its duck bill and otter body indicates an evolutionary offshoot from water fowl and amphibious mammals. They also look fucking goofy.

4. No, it's not an offshoot from water fowl.
Form follows function - it uses it's mouth the same way a waterfowl would, and thus they both evolved similar structures, but not due to any relation. Similarly, bats didn't evolve from birds, and whales didn't evolve from fish (well, not directly).

6. I believe
that they are poisonous as well. The males have spikes between their rear feet that can create a nasty wound, it also contains a type of poison.

11. I'm not a creationist, but I can imagine from their point of view
the platypus was God's Mr. Potato Head.
