Snake Discovered With Clawed Foot

[Larmo]

I wish she didn't kill it, it would have been better to study it live i think.

 

[tehbeard]

Good, my evil plans are finally coming to fruition!

MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Now, to create Koala Bears with six inch fangs and a taste for human blood!

Too late dude, evolution already beat u, they have retractable claws (think wolverine minus metal skeelton).

 

[Dirty Saint]

Should have just caught him and named him Reptilicus.

[lwm3398]

So long and thanks for all the mice.

Oh wait... That's for things getting smarter...

Fuck it, references for the win.

 

[Low Key]

What a strange coincidence...

A chupacabra [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chupacabra] was found [http://www.fbherald.com/articles/2009/09/02/news/doc4a9ea171308f8273387880.txt] in Texas earlier this month.

The crazy looking animals are coming out of the woodworks! RUN!

 

[Fniff]

Now poisonous snakes are going to be able to run after me?!

[sup]Nooooo!!![/sup]

*grabs shotgun*

When it gets to opposable thumbs, it's extinction time.

I agree with you. But I don't have a shotgun. I only have a spoon..

*Shows very large gun room filled with every special weapon,from bazookas to XM9s*

Free to borrow any.

KILL IT BEFORE IT REPRODUCES!

I DONT WANT SNKES TO GROW FEET!

Tries to grow a fourth arm* DAMN YOU NATURE! YOU'VE BESTED ME AGAIN!

Fourth?

He is trying to brag about his.... *ahem*... Well.... His genitalia.... Yea.

Looks like a vertebral HOX gene overexpression in the thoratic area.

Is that the scientific term for the facts snakes still possess little bony stubs on their spines. A left over from millions of years ago when they did indeed have legs. Thus snakes still have the ability to grow legs.

Or are you just trying to blag it?

HOX genes are homeo-box genes. Look them up.

Just because snakes have vestigial femoral studs on the vertebrae they do not retain the "ability to grow legs". We have a vestigial rumen in the form of an appendix, we don't have "the ability grow a multi chambered stomach" by your reasoning.

This is kinda my subject area.

Ahh ok, thanks for explaining.

I'd like a third arm before I try to grow a forth

 

[rekabdarb]

well it was in fucking china, with all the pollution surprised it didn't happen sooner

"Mrs Duan said she was so scared she grabbed a shoe and beat the snake to death before preserving its body in a bottle of alcohol."

An evolutionary leap forward stopped by Mrs Duan.

 

[Aqualung]

Viva la revoluti...

Viva la evolution

Sorry for that.
Cool now we need to evolve or we are fucked

Due to modern health care, Natural selection in humans is all but stopped. Therefore we are no longer evolving.

incorrect we are still evolving, except instead of physical strength we are relying on mental faculties. People who are smart get rich, rich men can support a larger family/raise a better family. They pass on their genetics. Human species may not be moving on in terms of physique but cognitively we are moving at a rapid pace.

 

[Pm0n3y]

She said she was so scared she beat it to death with a shoe? I'd have fucking ran, screw trying to kill it.

You wouldn't try to catch it? that'll make an awesome pokemon pet

 

[AkJay]

What is it with all the Fark headlines coming onto Escapist? this is the 3rd headline i saw in which Fark was all over it a few hours before.

 

[TheNumber1Zero]

Maybe they really needed to scratch?

why else evolve,they are already deadly as 'ell.

 

[BehattedWanderer]

Hmmm. Evolution in action, or just a retarded snake?

You be the judge!
