Felis

Information
This drawing here is a speculation of how invertebrates in the distant future would reconstruct the partial remains of the Domestic Cat, Felis catus domesticus, from a skull, incomplete arm and leg bones, and various vertebrae. Having no prior knowledge of vertebrates, it would have likely been reconstructed in a very strange way. Here, antennae are shown in what would be the nose and are also shown on the forehead. The skeleton would be reconstructed as if it were a strange exoskeleton, and parts harder to understand would be placed elsewhere, such as many of the vertebral bones being used as extensions of mandibles, flexible enough to catch prey and draw it in. The front pair has teeth on the underside which were used for crushing its unfortunate victims. What would have been the ears has hairlike structures going out of the hole, used for feeling the air and for sexual selection. The shoulder bone has been duplicated several times and is used for all the legs, which number six in total along with a pair of wings covered by segments. This shows how easily a simple fossil could be understood and how many features could have been left out of an ancient creature we could have found. Happy April Fools!
