Tiktaalik is a large fresh water fish that has both fishlike and tetrapod-like characteristics. Tetrapods are four-legged vertebrates such as amphibians, reptiles. Tiktaalik has scales and gills like fishes but it also possesses unusual fins, a neck, interlocking ribs and flattened head with eyes on top (similar to the head of a crocodile).
