On a rainy #Devonian day, a #Tiktaalik father guards his eggs in a small forest river. Meanwhile,his hunting mate has her eye on a #bothriolepis . Another Bothriolepis is eating something buried in the river sediment,drawing the attention of a #Coccosteus.

I've wanted to draw Tiktaalik for a while. It always seems to get depicted pulling itself onto the land. While that was of course extremely important,surely they spent most of their time living quite happily underwater.
