Anteaters also seem pretty popular with mammalian evolution.

Until the ants evolve into anteatereaters it's the smart play, free protein all day

180° for birds, I guess.

It’s part of the joke because birds are already dinosaurs

I took it as meaning birds are currently at 180 from dinosaurs and a further 180 will return them to dinosaur status, completing the full 360.

But will sharks be large fish exactly like the ones now, or smaller fish exactly like the ones now?
ivanafterall@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 303d

Tardigrade would laugh derisively but it's having a little 1,000 year snooze. In space.

Humans would have an 180ª evolution back to lemures, you can notice the beginnings even today.
Inucune@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 303d
Somehow crocodiles will make little to no changes.

Octopuses will probably be flying at some point fyi. If they choose to.
Zron@lemmy.world · 11 pts · 303d
I fear the millennium where octopuses figure out how to not die during child rearing.
If those smart motherfuckers ever figure out how to pass on knowledge, humans might get a run for their money.

Thar would be a Children of time knockoff.

Can't believe the mistake in this one - Fungi are the gods.
