A species of snakes that is well-documented as laying eggs is beginning to give live birth in colder regions. How does that even happen? That is so cool ou guys. Let's try not ot turn this into evolution vs. not-evolution debate, that is stupid. This? This right here is cool. |
It is cool. Though why the article is treating it as if it's a "missing evolution in action link" confuse me... based on the fact that we know other lizards already do that. I mean, why aren't they studying the other lizards?
That is sufficiently badass though. I'm curious as if it's really an evolutionary difference in general or a physiological "choice".
First thing I'd do is capture 10 or 12 of them in the south and have 10 or 12 of them caught by a scientist in the north, and swap them and observe them in a constructed enviroment. Will they change the ways they give birth, or will the northenrn mountain lizards in the south still give birth via live birth.
