Unusual Animals.
One of the main occupations of science is to classify everything, and this is probably to make some understandable tree of knowledge as for how things are. A question occurred to me, what happens when there is a species of animal that simply does not conform to a particular branch?
There are quite a few, of what could be described as unusual animals, ones that do not fit in with conventional formation. Take the world of water, unique species of fish would be the first thing that comes to mind. You might ask why are there mammals, such as whales, dolphins and porpoise in the sea? Then there are molluscs, such as octopus and squids that not only have ample arms but three hearts as well. Back on dry land or almost, how about the platypus with its duck bill, no teeth or stomach and ability to lay eggs? This species of animal is far from stereotypical, with a beaver like tail and webbed feet, a poison claw on its rear leg, and in between it has a waterproof, fury body.
Most things that can fly, could be birds or maybe do not be so sure. When coming across bats, which are mammals that are also equipped with a sonar sensing ability, they have an awesome skill of flight with wings made up of stretched skin. This is something that I would think of as more like the ancient pterodactyl. A most striking feature is the history of bats, as this can be traced back
over fifty million years and let me tell you, that dwarfs even that of our own human heritage.
What could be the answer as to the success of more unusual species of animals? I can only assume that it is, if you have a good form of body fitness and lifestyle, why change it? Natural diversity is the tool of the future and for sustaining blood lines. It is not surprising to have creatures that bridge the gap in established classification of species, and strength, agility and quirky survival traits can all come about as a result. Unusual and astounding as these species can seem, the animals themselves often have a part to play in their own generation’s legacy but something to consider is that it can also be forces outside of the creature’s own capabilities, that have a vital influence on its potential development.
