These SCP's keep getting weirder...

There seems to have been some gene transfer between toxodenta and stomatocardia.

Someone noticed. My urge to get in touch with them to propose a change is gone for some reason.

It could also be a case of convergent evolution, do they occupy the same niches?

[–] Midnitte@beehaw.org 1 points 1 day ago

My hypothesis is that stomatocardia is actually an offshoot species of toxodenta (though we'd have to do some molecular plastiology research to determine its not the opposite way)

I think we shoukd look at more things in the anthroposcene through a biological lense like this

Amazing research. But where to place the clasical clip (two wires in a plastic wrap)?

According to experts, they are in a different phylum...

All I see are under-evolved crabs.

That's pretty cool. But who actually uses them I just spin it and put the flap under the loaf.
