WON'T SOMEBODY THINK ABOUT THE PENGUINS?!

I'm very glad to see this being put to good use. ^_^

For the water beings, I agree with the increased lung capacity. If there are mammals that are going to develop gills from extended exposure to the water, I'm wondering why whales, dolphins, porpoises, penguins, seals, sea lions, and walruses haven't done it already. Yeah yeah, penguins not mammals. Point stands. If a species is going to develop gills because of the circumstances you describe, then why haven't these already?

Now, you might ask Chris what sort of evolutionary steps it would take to get that underwater vision, unless HB's articles help answer it for you.
