bascule Posted April 20, 2006 Posted April 20, 2006 http://www.physorg.com/news64765284.html Scientists in Argentina say they have found a snake with hips and hind legs that provides additional evidence of descent from a land-living lizard. Someone drag Mokele back in here!
AzurePhoenix Posted April 20, 2006 Posted April 20, 2006 This Article has two good ones, one of the fossil and an illustration of what it might have looked like alive
bjaminwood Posted April 20, 2006 Posted April 20, 2006 This discovery does not surprise me. As it says in the Bible Genesis Ch3 v14 "So God said to the serpent, "Because you have done this, 'Cursed are you above all the livestock ...You will crawl on you belly and you will eat dust all the days of your life.
Karnage Posted April 20, 2006 Posted April 20, 2006 well i heard of accounts that the Mokele was a dinosaur-like creature!
Karnage Posted April 20, 2006 Posted April 20, 2006 wait...snakes could probably retain legs becuase they are vestigial structures. If you examine a snake's bones, you can see tiny legs in all of them (inside the body). So maybe there still could be snakes that had some mutation and grew legs?
AzurePhoenix Posted April 20, 2006 Posted April 20, 2006 "So God said to the serpent, "Because you have done this, 'Cursed are you above all the livestock ...You will crawl on you belly and you will eat dust all the days of your life. right, because so many snakes eat dust (ignoring the fact that there are plenty of other belly crawlers who don't seem to have earned the "curse," a punishment that is a large part of what makes snakes so succesful I might add )
Karnage Posted April 20, 2006 Posted April 20, 2006 right, because so many snakes eat dust Not sure if i get you

mattbimbo Posted April 21, 2006 Posted April 21, 2006 i hope they are sure that the snake hadn't swallowed the front end of a frog.

AzurePhoenix Posted April 21, 2006 Posted April 21, 2006 Are you a snake expert? My field is zoology (paleo too), and since Mokele is off being reprogrammed by a creationist terror faction, I'd say I'm as close to an expert as you're gonna see here. it's common knowledge that snakes don't eat dust. and there's that of course
