This should furrow a few brows, I can see the lengthy papers
refuting these baseless un-scientific assertions.
So where are the transitional species?

put bluntly: everywhere you look among the living and the dead, there they are.

They're transitioning right under your nose, but you aren't you paying attention.

In China, researchers recently discovered that tuskless elephants now make up 5-10% of the wild population whereas they used to be 2-3%.

They postulate the cause for the increase is that the tusked elephants are being culled for their ivory.

If the trend continues, eventually, all wild elephants in China will be tuskless.

That's evolution in progress by way of natural selection.

"So where are the transitional species?"

All species are transitional species, none are fixed, all are adapting and changing to meet the requirements of a changing environment or are disappearing because they cannot adapt. That is what life is.
