It has been suggested that I write up a page introducing the trelatebrates, specific to the Metazoic. Well, I am announcing that this page is now up. I speak not only of the trelatebrates, but another branch of the evolutionary tree of elephant shrews. I call them "sinecrus", and they take the place of cetaceans for most of the Metazoic. There are 4 varieties, 3 of which are endemic to the Batavian Islands. All are aquatic. There is a tusked variety that is omnivorous, there is a carnivorous variety that lives like a crocodile or alligator, and there is a vegetarian variety that lives like a fast-moving manatee. There is also a strictly ocean-going variety that lives like dolphins or sharks, and they live strictly in the ocean.
I am thinking of putting the upcoming cladogram on this page for the Afrotheres (descendants of elephant shrews). But here is what I have on it so far. Check it out! http://metazoica.com/trelatebrates.html
