en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carcinisation
Carcinisation (American English: carcinization) is a form of convergent evolution in which non-crab crustaceans evolve a crab-like body plan. The term was introduced into evolutionary biology by L. A. Borradaile, who described it as “the many attempts of Nature to evolve a crab”.
Pretty neat
“Why does this Cow know Slash?”
“… why does this Giraffe know Milk Drink?!”
Caterpillar > Cocoon > Butterfly / Moth
Wait…
Lemming > Chihuahua > Honey Badger
Just angrier and angrier all the way through
Bonus - baby evolutionary form prior to frog: Axolotl

Remember when creationism was the dumbest thing on the internet?
Wasn’t that nice?
Aren’t shrimp and prawn already the exact same thing?
Like mountain lions and cougars.
Shrimp vs prawn is colloquial, not a scientific classification, so it varies from place to place and person to person, and depending on the specific animal we’re talking about, but in general
The ones we call shrimp tend to:
And the ones we call prawns tend to:
Waterbug -> Cricket -> Locust
Fun fact actually, crickets already evolve into locusts in the actual animal kingdom

No they don’t. Are you thinking of grasshoppers, maybe? Although that’s not exactly true either.
Yes, sorry. But yeah, a grasshopper will, during a fertility shortage, go through a transformation and seek out a swarm of its brethren, forming what we call locusts.
They say there used to be more locusts in the US and Mexico than there were in the Sahara, but that when the Gold Rush happened, so many people passed along where the grasshoppers lived that the necessary numbers needed to make locust swarms was reduced by the constant tramplings of passerbies.
Anole > Iguana > Alligator
Mouse > Rat > Opossum
Armadillo > Pangolin
Cheetah > Puma > Jaguar > Panther > Tiger > Leopard > Leopard (snow variant) > Lion > Lion (mountain variant) > Maverick-
Oh wait, that doesn’t work that way at all.
Lion (mountain variant)
The thing you call a “mountain lion” over there in the US isn’t a lion. It’s a cougar.
