I don’t understand. Are dolphins campaigning for land rights or something?

Maybe that’s the problem, they can’t hold signs to protest. Perhaps if we figured out a way to help them hold signs they’d be able to live on land again.

Before we get to that point, has anyone asked a dolphin if they want to live on land?

Those land tuna have set up a series of beach heads, and now the lions are as good as extinct.

All life started in the sea. Transitioning back to semi-aquatic or fully aquatic has happened many times. Is it possible to transition back? According to these researches, it seems like a one way gate. The types of changes that land animals make to become fully aquatic again seem to lock a lineage into the water forever. Increased body mass and carnivorous diet are helpful going back to water but make it really hard to go back to land and redevelop mobility.
