I admit I have a few of the Cthulhu plushies. But these take the prize for just plain neato. And I bet they’d make great gifts for the children of creationist friends and family members!
Evolvems – Evolutionary Transforming Plush
From fins to feet, zip and flip to evolve
As we know, it all started with a big bang. The Earth was cooling, autotrophs were drooling, all that good stuff. And there were cool creatures like the bony-finned Coelacanth, the toothy Dimetrodon, the hidden dragon known as Yinlong and the Pakicetus, the furry landlubber ancestor to the whale. But we wouldn’t stop there. No way, we’re paleontologists! That’s who we are, that’s who we are, that’s who we are. Unzip and flip the creature inside out and you’ll get its evolved form. Watch fins turn to feet and gills grow into lungs right before your eyes. The best part is that all you kids who want to see ’em don’t have to line up at our museum. You can have your own piece of evolution in your own home and bring it in for show n’ tell at school. Show those other monkeys their roots, we say.
Coelacanth-Ichthyostega
The Coelacanth is a bony-finned fish who lived 410 million years ago. Those bony fins evolved into legs over millions of years and his gills turned to lungs, eventually transforming him into the Ichthyostega, who is part fish, part amphibian.
Dimetrodon-Cynognathus
Lizards like the Dimetrodon were the top dog on Earth before the dinosaurs came around. Alas, changing habitats and extinction caused the Dimetrodon to evolve into a smaller, more mammal-like creature, the Cynognathus.
Yinlong-Styracosaurus
What dino geek doesn’t like the Triceratops? His cousin the Styracosaurus lived in the Cretaceous period too, but did you know he originally descended from the “Hidden Dragon” of China known as the Yinlong? (It’s okay, we didn’t know that either.)
Pakicetus-Squalodon
We all know that whales and dolphins, while sea creatures, are mammals and not fish. Enter the Pakecetus from 55 million years ago, a land mammal who hunted fish in the water and had inner ear bones similar to the modern whale. Twenty-two million years later, he evolved into the Squalodon, who looks suspiciously like a dolphin to us!

And no, I’m not a paid spokesblogger. Bastards aren’t even advertising here. I just thought these were nifty.
