I heard that sharks and rays are super closely related. Are skates an approximate bridging “group” between them? Or are they outside of both groups
Tumblr media
They are all really closely related- there in all the same class known as Chondrichthyes, or cartilaginous fish. Sharks evolved first, approximately 350 million years ago during the Carboniferous period. Skates and ray came around at approximately the same time as each other 150 million years ago during the Jurassic period.
So skates aren't really a "bridging group", they're actually most closely related to rays!

I was hired by Todd Aldrington to make the cover for his newest novel, A Christmas Reunion! :D Todd writes, "A Christmas Reunion is about the two guys who secretly become boyfriends when their families get together at Christmas, and they spend the whole holiday trying to hide it from their suspicious families." From what I know, this book is supposed to have a comedic lean to it compared to his previous books. :3
If you're interested in buying the book (either for yourself or as a gift), here are links to the ebook and paperback versions!
Ebook: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CN2ZW4Z3
Paperback: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CN3DYG1D
If you enjoy his work, you can also follow Todd for announcements on future releases!
