There was a time
In the murky, still waters of the northern hemisphere of the planet, Thallifreon, we see, for illustration purposes, in the same visual, three evolutionary stages of the now-extinct Nemanovathrydd worm.
Yes a worm. And a parasitic one at that. Firstly, the Pre-Cambrian then the Cambrian and, finally, the octopus-like (and very nasty should you be bitten by one), Jurassic model. But as I have said they disappeared with the Jurassic. Sounds a little like Earth doesn’t it. Well it’s not.
In all seriousness, this was contrived with the help of GroBoto and Photoshop. A gum tree (in the background believe it or not) appears (and was not harmed during the making of this picture) courtesy of myself .
