Tiktaalik

Information
Tiktaalik roseae, a 375 million year old primitive amphibian of the Devonian Period, is most famous for being one of the "missing links" between the transitioning of vertebrates from water to land. Found in what is now Ellesmere Island of northern Canada, Tiktaalik grew anywhere from three to nine feet in length. It already showed signs of land adaptation, such as the development of lungs for land-breathing and fins that may have helped it travel short distances out of the water. This enabled it to catch and eat early terrestrial arthropods that had previously taken their steps onto land to take advantage of the thriving vegetation that had recently evolved, which were inaccessible to other predators at the time. Tiktaalik lived approximately 12 to 15 million years before the first true tetrapods emerged, which used more efficient and robust limbs for travel rather than fins.
