The Evolution of Aquatic Canines

The evolution of aquatic canines represents a unique adaptation in the animal kingdom. Starting from terrestrial ancestors, these dogs have developed specialized traits to thrive in water-rich environments. The AquaPaw lineage showcases the transition from land to sea, with each generation exhibiting more pronounced aquatic features such as webbed feet, enhanced lung capacity, and, in some cases, rudimentary gills.
