Convergent evolution: Therefore, marine mammals alike

But over the past six months, the cat started to eat a new kind of animal. And it has also become much more secretive about its catches.
"They are obviously incredibly tasty, for unlike the other trophies will I not allowed to look very much and do not touch. They are just shown, caught tube and then they eaten immediately! "Writes Elisabeth Krøger in an email.
It is, however, succeeded Elizabeth to get a few glimpses of the animals, and when they do not look like anything she has seen before, she has taken a picture of one of them. Now she wants to know what it is for some strange creatures, her cat is starting to sink your teeth into.
Ask Science caught tube will love to see get Elisabeth to the rescue, so we called some researchers up to make them closer look at the picture. It is a frayed fish
"There is probably no doubt that here we have a fish. It might be one of several species of gobies, "says Kurt Buchmann, professor of aquatic pathobiology and head of the Danish caught tube Fiskeimmunologisk Research.
You wrinkles perhaps a bit on the nose of Kurt Buch's bid, when distinctive creature has the forelegs! How on earth can it just be an ordinary fish?
Kurt Buchmann points out that the picture is so blurry that is speculative, when he says, but he certainly do not think that the things that undeniably looks like a front legs of the animal's body, is indeed a leg.
"It's probably a chest fin that is torn to pieces. Fins have called spines, and what payments toes in the photo, probably caught tube jagged spines that are torn apart, which of course can be done by the cat has munching on it, "said Kurt Buchmann.
Since the course is a little disappointing if the animal is just an ordinary, dull fish, we must be absolutely sure before we finish the investigation. caught tube Considered whether the image was fake
"I know some animals from the Danish countryside that has dandruff, looks like a fish, while the front leg," said Michael Hansen, caught tube a professor of molecular biology at the Department of bioscience at Aarhus University.
"It might be a knorhane. They have modified pectoral fins, which they use as legs. Their spines are released, and they use them as legs to walk on the seabed. It looks very strange. The problem is that the animal in the picture caught tube might not look like a knorhane, "said Michael Hansen. Gumle theory is convincing
"Well, of course it can be. That would explain the strange seed-like toes, as it has on it that looks like a leg, "said Michael Hansen.

CLASSIC: Cats Kings left off in the old days to pay taxes for a year, and strength was an ability that was in high demand. caught tube Therefore it went wild for themselves when the cat was struck by the barrel, says a researcher.
