~ *Tiktaalik (tic-TAH-lick): a 375-million-year-old large scaley fish that some scientists believe is the long-sought missing link in the evolution of fishes from water to a life walking on four limbs on land. While Tiktaalik is still a fish, it has anatomical traits that anticipate the emergence of land animals - and thus may be a predecessor of amphibians, reptiles, dinosaurs, and mammals.
