==''Tiktaalik'' picture (again)==
The current picture of the "fishapod",File:Fishapods.png, isn't very good. First off, it shows ''Tiktaalik'' as one of a number of critters. The drawings themselves are just line drawings and are not very good (''Acanthostega'' is particularly bad), and ''Tiktaalik'' bends it head in a rather peculiar way. I don't think it could do that in real life (it could tip it's head up, not down). It also illustrate temporal and habitat distribution, rather than the animals themselves. It would be a decent illustration for [[Fishapod]] or [[Evolution of tetrapods]], but I think we should find one better suited for this article.

:: We are free to revert to the image of the reconstruction of ''Tiktaalik'' which remains on Commons. No explanation was given for moving to the 'fishapod' drawing, we are free to ask why it was substituted. Meanwhile I've inserted the skull photo which is definitely helpful in showing use of air as well as water......
