[ID: Youtube comment replies with the names edited out and profiles pictures replaced with the Len'en Project characters Clause, Yabusame Houlen, and Tsubakura Enraku. The replies read as follows:

Clause: It's quite possible that the recent "Implosion" of the submersible "Titan" was the result of a "Colossal Squid" attack.

Tsubakura: No it isn't

Yabusame: "no" it was "not"

Clause: O.K.?..It Was Not Possible? And the fact that "you" were an leye witness to what happened seconds before the implosion, makes "you" the deepest diving honey crisp …snail? In existence? You've disproved my hypothesis. Now, since "you" were there. "You" tell "Me" Exactly, what… happened. Since "you" know what, It was "not"….

That rabbit/hare post is messing me up. I’d thought they were synonyms. Their development and social behavior are all different. They can’t even interbreed. They don’t have the same number of chromosomes. Dogs, wolves, jackals, and coyotes can mate with each other and have fertile offspring but rabbits and hares cant even make infertile ones bc they just die in the womb. Wack.

and that’s why morphology-based phylogeny has Issues

The problem is perspective. People always think dogs are the ‘standard’ animal, the metric to use for whether or not two organisms “look like” they’re related. When in fact they’re a massive outlier due to the fact that we fucked up this lineage of wolf beyond recognition with selective breeding. It’s why people always say “breed” when they mean “species”, especially when talking about groups like lizards which can’t even be defined cladistically since some of them are closer to snakes than each other. To say nothing of fish.

I once read an article that emphasized there is no such thing as a fish. Sharks and rays, lamprey, lobe-finned fish like lungfish and coelacanth, bichir and sturgeon, and of course the multiple infraclasses of more “modern” fish groups are all only very distantly related to one another. They’ve maintained semi-similar body structures only because there are limited ways to efficiently move through water as a vertebrate.

Are more distantly related from one another than you and I are from a lungfish

Which is absolutely fuckin wild.

Not only that, but all of us air-breathing land vertebrates, all the lizards and chickens and people and frogs, are closer to one another than those three “fish” are to one another as well.

this is not a joke—elephant shrews, ends up, are not shrews but are actually closely related to elephants.

I didn’t count him cause all other forms are valid in some way as attempts while this creature is just disgusting
