    No need for evolution in that time, they found a niche adapted to it millions of years ago. no change in the niche so no major change in them.
    Although there may have been significant internal/soft tissue changes/evolution, we will never know.
    Confusion is a natural state of being

      Going back to the Original point about BigFoot being found, reckon it's a PR scam. Remember the Blair Witch stuff

      On them! On them! They fail!

        Look it up, there are plenty of crocodilian fossils around, quite a few shark fossils (despite them being cartillaginous) with tremendous similarities to todays sharks too.
        When nature evolves an effective shape or organ that isn't obliterated by some global change it tends to survive until it's no longer effective, crocodiles and sharks have been around for millions of years in one form or another because they're effective survivors. For that matter cockroaches have been kicking around for a similar time span and will probably outlast the mammals.

          It is often claimed that the coelacanth has remained unchanged for millions of years, but, in fact, the living species and even genus are unknown from the fossil record. However, some of the extinct species, particularly those of the last known fossil coelacanth, the Cretaceous genus Macropoma, closely resemble the living species.[citation needed] The most likely reason for the gap is the taxon having become extinct in shallow waters.

          No wonder they almost went extinct

            I once woke up next to a crocadillopig. Nearly had a heart attack, she wasn't too bad through 10 pints of Stella.

              You need to evolve permanent beer goggles as a survival tactic, shock can be very bad for you.

                10 pints of Stella can turn a dog into a fox. Evolution in action!

                      Never heard of him. Many a truth said in jest though.
