Transitional Species Video
For this project I worked with Lucca Psaila, Ky Heon, and Jeff Ramirez. As can be seen in the video, we made a model of a dragon-like creature that could have lived several million years ago. This model is to show the evolution of a reptile to an animal with wings, like a bird.
Reasons This Animal Could Have Evolved: Dangers on the ground is the main cause. If there are things on the ground that are killing off this species, the need to evolve and take to the skies become prominent.
What this animal evolved and why: This animal evolved bigger talons to catch prey on the ground or in the sky. It kept the scales of a reptile for protection and warmth. The animal developed strong wings that can carry it on the wind. Sharp teeth inside the mouth allow the animal to efficiently consume food.
To capture this video, we used a screen recorder on Jeff's device.
