Description
In one of their newer exhibitions called "Gallery of Evolution", there's this small section of how life on Earth might look like, 50 million years from now. Here are the animals shown there.Above:
Neopygoscelis dentatus: A whale-like future bird that probably evolved from penguins.
Rhombosepia gregaris: From what I can see, it could be some future evolution of the cuttle fish that lives in groups
Middle:
Propellonectus russeli: Another future sea-bird that might also have penguins as it's ancestors.
Future Centipede: Don't remember what they called this one but this creature looks like strange mix of a centipede and a trilobite.
Below:
Trichopteryx dixoni: A future marsupial, capable to at least glide from tree to tree. Possibly evolved from the Cuscus.
Corticochaeris: A cow-sized future rodent which possibly evolved from the modern day capybara
Enjoy an please comment when faving it ^__^

I wonder though, the Corticochaeris' mouth looks a bit awkward for eating grass, I wonder what mutations and environmental deals that made Propellonectus russeli like this, what kind of environment would the future centipede live in to have that kind of body, the flap of skin of the trichopteryx is a bit of a interesting deal (suggesting it's ancestor and whatnot), and I have a few issues and questions about Neopygoscelis dentatus.
