Why are lizards and salamanders so similar in shape?
That’s just what peak performance looks like
#it’s also just basically the ancestral shape of the sarcopterygian fishes that we are descended from
#African lungfish look so much like salamanders you’d be forgiven for confusing the two
#mammals and birds and tortoises and frogs are just heavily modified from this splayed-stance long-tail tetrapod shape
#snakes and caecilians are just variation on the theme of ‘how much leg is actually needed for my lifestyle’ where the answer is zero
#but remember that salamanders and lizards are really only superficially similar
