> convergence between fish and dolphins

The convergence between dolphins and ichthyosaurs is even more remarkable. Ichthyosaurs were marine reptiles; air breathing tetrapods that, like dolphins, had ancestors that walked on land but eventually returned to the sea to kick fish ass.

Bony fish evolved in rivers, and eventually returned to the sea to kick... what? Analogies fail.

Those fish are overwhelmingly more closely related to horses than to sharks.
