Squeeeee!

I always marvel at evolution’s silent process to give living things what they need to survive. Although it took millions of years to fashion the special hooves that allows the klipspringer to master its environment, it did so magnificently through a gradual rotation of the ankle structure, and the formation of the rubbery tips on their hooves. Most humans cannot think in the timescales necessary for this gradual evolution to work, so creationists fall back on some divine bullshit because it is easy not to think.

Live long, and prosper, little klipspringer!

What a cutie pie. When I saw the hooves I thought "kosher?" And they do chew their cud so these little adorables are kosher but who could eat that face? I think even a leopard would hesitate especially if a republican is available for face eating. Thanks, Martini, for the knowledge and the exceptional cuteness factor.

Evolution is such a clever process! What unique adaptations. I think a few things went wrong with humans. Not physically, the mechanics of the present human are mostly useful and well adapted to our various environments. It’s our minds that someone got fucked up!
