minus-squarewyldrstallyns@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·17 days agoI believe the pterodactyl, like most (all?) dinos descended from aquatic life forms. Dunno, though.

minus-squarewyldrstallyns@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·17 days agoNo argument there 🤣
minus-squareLemmywinks@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·16 days agoAny scientific definition of ‘fish’ which includes all the things we commonly consider to be fish also includes basically all animal life on earth (including humans and, presumably, pterodactyls). Edit: Though generally this is avoided by declaring that ‘fish’ is not an evolutionary category.
