Bible contradictions?

Try a little intellectual honesty next time.

You ask too much of him.

Sarcasm. I know you're familiar with it.

Why do you take offense at my calling it a wolf?

Because it isn't one. By calling it one, you're implying that two widely disparate species are related, and yet live in the same time frame. You're implying a relationship that no one claims exists.

Pro-tip: They aren't.

The point is the same. It's a wolf-like creature, and no matter what its name the problem of turning aquatic and growing 100x larger still exists. Coincidentally, your "wolf-like creature" is not even on the fossil record, so I should be able to call it what I like.

Presumably it already has a name in the biologic taxonomy. In the interests of accuracy, how about you call it that, instead of something it's not?

It's a hypothetical land animal contrived after the evidence to fill the hole in the tree. I'm still waiting for an explanation how--or why--this type of dog would return to the ocean, and any evidence whatsoever that it did.

Presumably you have a source, which cites either original research or it's sources? If so, follow those leads for the information you seek. If not, until you have a better source, feel free to consider it highly speculative. Do your own damn research. Oh, I see your source is pbs.org - and no sources are cited. You might try looking in scientific journals instead, instead of a source that's geared more towards entertainment than knowledge. The source you did provide doesn't offer enough information to even begin to answer the question.

Biology is a huge, complex field, and it's unlikely that anyone here is going to be able to give you an adequate answer with the information you've quoted. Particularly when you misrepresent what it is you're looking for. Even if someone could, it's questionable whether they'd want to take the time to do research you ought to do yourself.

As for how it happened, presuming that it did for the moment, it's a matter of small incremental changes over very long periods of time. However, I can't say that I even believe this particular case, as you've done a piss-poor job of presenting the question. I personally wouldn't even use that source unless I had something to corroborate it that was properly cited.
