YESSSSSSSSS I HAVE MOTHERFUCKING MULAN WHAT THEN MOTHERFUCKAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAS
arm/wing comparison and evolution
This is really cool, you guys; it shows the three different evolutions of wings in tetrapods, and all the analogous/homologous structures. Avian, mammalian, and pterodon-ian (I don’t know if that’s right) flight all evolved convergently; they all found the same solution to the problem of speedy escape/speedy aerial hunting, but they found it independently. Much like Leibniz and Newton figuring out calculus.

Also, when I say “North American Dinos” I mean “North American Dinos + One Very Adventurous Carnotaurus Who Decided to Venture out of South America for Whatever Reason”.
