Fishermen have caught a dolphin with 4 fins! are excited because this fits their theories of evolution. They believe 4 fin/ legged sea creatures came on land, evolved, lost their aquatic abilities and developed extensive use of their 4 limbs to live on land.

Gradually, mutation and lost use of the 2 hind appendages resulted in the total disappearance of the hind fins in the marine creatures that are fished out of the depths. Maybe the smarter, 4 finned ones manage to escape the fishermen more easily than their 2 finned counterparts. Global warming and extensive fishing are among the factors blamed for earth’s dwindling sea life. But that’s another story for another day.

Our family tree

“Now that the humans know that there are 4 limbed ones among us, we might become extinct all over again!”
