Pythons have small leg bones buried in their tail muscles. What can scientist conclude from this observation
Pythons descended from an animal with legs
The leg bones will not be passed down to feature generations
Future generations of pythons will have legs
Leg buns, help pythons move
Scientists can conclude that pythons descended from an animal with legs. This indicates that pythons likely evolved from a species that once had fully developed legs, but over time, these legs became reduced and eventually disappeared in modern pythons. Therefore, future generations of pythons are not likely to have legs, as the presence of the small leg bones in their tail muscles suggests that this trait is not passed down in a functional form. The leg bones in pythons may have some remnants of their ancestral function to help with movement, but they are not used in the same way as fully developed legs.
