Heh, I'm sure you know the American sayings are fairly humdrum compared to
others. You had me thinking of "A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush."
when I saw the next thing said.

Don't get me started on evolution. I've wondered a lot why there aren't more
inbetween animals, instead of only things like the occasional Platypus
creatures. Such as, since there are air-breathing sea-going animals like seals,
where's the ones that only swim sometimes and mostly stay on land? Certainly not
the polar bears, I wouldn't think. But instead there's simply one kind and then
another entirely different kind.

Or in other words, the way evolution seems to be mostly finished. You don't see
a creature becoming future whales or dolphins anymore. What happened to their
land-based counterparts? How could they only be 100% water-borne since they
began taking to the ocean, why not half and half, like seals and walruses?
Somehow I doubt those are each others distant relatives, being more like
separate animals entirely.

It's just that there are huge gaps from one thing to another. Maybe that's the
way it is, some freaky biological dead zones. I just can't believe that doesn't
mean all sorts of other creatures shouldn't also exist today. I've never really
been convinced of a string of lineages over time from one thing to the next
either. It's like the infamous human missing link idea, I guess only because of
sudden change?

I don't know, like I said, I get to thinking on that subject and it doesn't end!
