This is the dolphin and the ichthyosaur. Virtually unchanged by evolut....
WAIT. THESE SPECIES ARE COMPLETELY 99% unrelated????? You're telling me that ichthyosaur didn't evolve into the dolphin? How is that possible? How is it possible that two different species could be virtually identical and completely unrelated? Wait, dolphins are one of the oldest species lines in existence?
It's called convergent evolution, and it cause even completely unrelated species TODAY to look identical to other species on the other side of the globe. The reason for cnovergent evolution? Because some things just fit their habitat PERFECTLY, and do not need to change. In fact, they fit so perfectly, that OTHER SPECIES BECOME THEM.
