The relative of the famous Komodo Dragon. Think a snake with legs and a forked flickering tongue and you have your monitor lizard.

Instead of spends millions of $ on a CRAY Computer type simulations, why not have the lizard breath traceable smoke that can be see by CAT scans or MRI? In real time.

At first I thought this article might be about animal aerodynamics. Note to self: don’t go see “Ford v Ferrari” again.

When two divergent animal species utilize the same innovative design. There must be one common denominator, the designer.

An associated article discusses how this sort of unidirectional may well go back 270 million years, with the question being “why?”. Birds need it for the efficiency it provides. But an early lizard crawling around arguably does not.
Unless.... What was the atmospheric O2 density at ground level 270 million years ago???

Related question: Would an air-breather that spends a lot of time underwater benefit from more efficient lung flow? That is, would such a design help make the most of brief times to acquire fresh air?

The findings show that vertebrate lung evolution is complicated and we have yet to understand the full picture.But the climate of the planet is simple and it's settled science. It's understood completely.
