  4. Bought a bag of random Lego parts from a charity shop the other day.

    After some digging, I found I had 3 incomplete sets: Iron-man mech, Mclaren car, and the Deep Sea animals set.

    Thanks to Rebrickable and a couple of tweeks, I managed to create these 2 marine animals to add to my ocean menagerie.

    "#Paleontologists are still piecing together how otter-like creatures related to bears evolved into these amphibious marine #mammals... The #fossil tale of #pinnipeds is not nearly as old as that of whales. The oldest seal relative paleontologists have uncovered dates to about 24 million years ago. Throughout their entire history, pinnipeds have been tied to the land, at least in some way"

    The #Canadian 🇨🇦 #Arctic has yielded some especially important #fossils documenting major #evolutionary changes. This 3D-printed replica of a #fossil from #Nunavut and displayed in the #CanadianMuseumOfNature is one of these. It's Puijila darwini, whose name means "young sea #mammal" in #Inuktitut. It looks like an otter, but it's one of the earliest relatives of #seals and #sealions - with still-functional hands and feet, unlike modern #pinnipeds.
