Talk:Skyray/@comment-28651973-20160611042720

I have came up this theory that there was once some form of land mass, kinda like a Pangea, where there were land animals (not including invertabrates like the cave crawlers), like amphibians, reptiles, and some form of archosaurs (Crocodilians or non-avian dinosaurs). After millions of years, the land mass started to spread apart, creating islands, and they are small as we know. This was a struggle with a lot of species of land animals. The only way for these creatures to survive is to be small and evolve wings or start to grow flippers and fins to go into the ocean. One group of theropods the troodontids, had to evolove into, well BIRDS! This is where the skyrays came from. I have been looking into the models of the lava lizards and the stalkers, what I have found is that lava lizards are covered in scales and have scutes under their bellies, like a lizard or a snake. It's possible that a group of monitor lizards evolved into a  marine reptile. They are pretty much the mososaurs of this planet, and it seems that they are loosing their back limbs, like cetaceans (Porpoises, dolphins, and whales). Maybe in the next million years, they could be lava serpents, who knows? Anyways, the Stalkers don't even have scales, nor scutes under their bellies, just smooth skin. Which comes to my conclusion that they are some form of a aquatic theropod, a marine dinosaur! They probably came from the group spinosaurids, like the famous Spinosaurus. The stalker does have a long snout and long, curved teeth, but also the nostrils are the main key to why I think they came from spinosaurids. Spinosaurus had it's nostrils close to its head, not at the end or tip of the snout. Because it was a fish eating-amphibias creature, it had to breathe or it could've drowned itself, and the space for the sensors to detect fish like modern day crocodiles. This would imply to the stalker, as they have to breathe air, they don't have gills like most other creatures. So, over time these spinosaurids evolved flippers and a tail fluke so they can swim.

So, I hope you enjoyed this theory, tell me what I missed and what mistakes I made. Please excuse my spelling mistakes.
