Transitioning between worlds, with each stride,

A symbol of adaptation, where nature's tied.

From fish to tetrapod, it bridged the gap,

In its anatomy, a remarkable map.

A testament to evolution's relentless drive,

Pushing boundaries, where wonders thrive.

A creature that made us truly think.
